Randles Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 I have enabled the Game Monitor Service and the System Monitor Service. Really good features. But for some reason it doesnt seem to be logging any info, the Server Activity charts are blank, and the average cpu/ram is reading as -1 in the loadbalancing report. "The Server Performance Stats (Charts)" report doesn't have any selectable categories, so I cant use that. Can anyone point me in the right direction, I am clearly missing something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ECF Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 Did you create the windows scheduled task to run the collector on your master server? http://support.tcadmin.com/index.php?pf=kb&page=index_v2 &id=8&c= Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randles Posted February 7, 2006 Author Share Posted February 7, 2006 Thats it thanks! Can I set the collection frequency higher than 30 minutes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECF Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 You can set the frenquecy to whatever timeframe you would like. We suggest 30 minutes or less so the process doesn't have to run for more than a minute or two. The longer time interval between polling, the more information, and the longer the job will run. If you have a fairly small system with a few remotes 30 minutes may be fine. But as you grow, it will take longer for the master server to poll all the information that has been accumulating during those 30 minutes. Personally, I would suggesting running the job every 5 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randles Posted February 7, 2006 Author Share Posted February 7, 2006 ok, I misunderstood I assumed that the collector frequency was the frequency of the polled data. But all the collector is doing is picking up data stored locally on the remote servers. Thanks once again for the help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECF Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 It is the frequency at which the data is polled. Basically when you run the scheduled task, the master server goes out to all the remote servers and collects stats from them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vvezzola Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 I've done everything as requested in the knowledge base article, but I can't get reports on the server CPU. Gameserver stats - Ok Memory Stats - Ok CPU - KO The Master is Win2000 and the remote are Win2003. May this be a problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECF Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 best bet would be to put in a ticket and let us have a look at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tangogc Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 Kevin what you thinks of my settings As you know I have 20 servers and more and I collect data any 4 hours, sure it takes long but the collect process doesn't interfeer with the game server installed on that machine. if I set to 5 minutes or less will be better or not ? My only question is collecting any 5 minutes I will use less processor ? or I can give problem to the processor and so lag on the servers ? So shortly collecting every 4 hours probabily the collect start when all game server are free for example at 10pm and the next at 12pm so it doesn't collect data during playing. If I collect any 5 minutes can I interfeer with the game servers during play. Your best suggestion please ? you have all password if you want run a short test before answer thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECF Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 Leave it set where it is. 5 minutes would not be enough time to collect the stats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tcngs Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 Does this take allot of server resource when it runs? Also my control panel is hosted by your company will that have any effect on enableing it? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECF Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 Depending on the number of servers it can take some resources to poll all the stats. It would also depend on which stats you are collecting. You can enable it regradless of where the pages are hosted, but keep in mind your monitor program is going to take the brunt of the workload when polling. Just something to keep in mind.

tcngs Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 I mainly just want to pool the CPU Usage and Memory Usage, I currently have 4 remote servers and will be creating 2 more in the next 2 weeks. So to keep the resource usage at a minumum for the master server I would need to run it in 5 minute intervals? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECF Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 30 minutes is the normal time interval we suggest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chiefy Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 how does one set this collector up to run? Those links no longer work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECF Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 Goto System Settings>Plugin Manager and configure the System Monitor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
