## Description

**Important notice**
 This plugin is no longer in active development, do not use
in high-availability environments.

Simple, efficient, ad- and bloatfree plugin for testing whether or not a given server
address is up for just you, or everyone else on a given port and protocol.
 Servers&
services are checked in real-time whenever a user requests to view the page where
the shortcode is inserted.

Intuitive interface, makes is really easy to maintain servers & services to check.

You have the ability to filter/hook the message displayed to the user through functions.
php in your theme folder.

    ```
    add_filter( "atr_server_success_message", function($message, $server) {
        return $server->humanname." appears to be working alrstight.";
    }, 10, 2);

    add_filter( "atr_server_error_message", function($message, $server) {
        return $server->humanname." is down.";
    }, 10, 2);
    ```

You can also use the filter “atr_perm_administer_servers” to alter the permission
being used to check access rights.

    ```
    add_filter( "atr_perm_administer_servers", function( $permission ) {
        $permission = "editor";
        return $permission;
    } );
    ```

### Shortcode Examples

Displays all servers entered in wp-admin

    ```
    [server-status]
    ```

Display server by certain id

    ```
    [server-status id="X"]
    ```

Display servers by multiple id’s

    ```
    [server-status id="X,X,X"]
    ```

Excludes certain posts from display, only works if ‘id’ is not set.

    ```
    [server-status exclude="X"]
    ```

### Features

 * Supports most common protocols (TCP, UDP, HTTP, HTTPS) (FTP is on the todo)
 * Define a human friendly readable name for display
 * Define hostname
 * Define port
 * Define timeout in seconds
 * Define protocol
 * Drag’n’drop ordering
 * Edit and delete servers/services
 * Shortcodes for checking one or more servers frontend
 * Simple, clear and well explained settings page
 * Filter available configurations
 * Settings page with various configrations to suit your needs
 * Possible to disable/enable servers and services
 * Includes a widget for displaying servers in sidebars

### Is this plugin for you?

If you’re looking for a full fledged server monitoring tool, no. Consider using 
thirdparty software such as [zabbix instead](https://zabbix.org/wiki/Main_Page)

Otherwise, if you just want to provide a service, for your users/visitors to check
whether or not one or more of your servers is running healthy then yes, this is 
for you.

### Feature requests

Think this plugin is missing a feature? I’ll gladly discuss any feature requests
sent to me either through the wordpress support forums, or via my contact formular.

Keep in mind, features must be able to fit seamlessly with the core wordpress UI,
and must not be intrusive, or considered adware.

### Got a question?

If you have any questions not answered here, do feel free to [send me an email](https://rehhoff.me/contact)
and I’ll do my best to answer you within 48 hours.

Response time is usually faster if you send me a mail, instead of using the wordpress
support forums.

## Installation

 1. Install the plugin
 2. Configure the servers/services you want to check against in “Server Status” within
    wp-admin
 3. Insert one of the provided shortcodes on the desired page, and or post.

## FAQ

### Does this plugin require anything special?

This plugin depends heavily on the curl_* and fsockopen(); PHP functions, however
such functions are enabled by default on the majority of webhosts.
 Also check that
you have “allow_url_fopen” set to ‘On’ or ‘1’

### Server checks are stuck at “Checking server status”

It is important that you don’t have the same server appearing twice on the same 
page, doing so WILL break the functionality for all server checks.

Perfect for our intranet system and multi site monitoring. Customized it a bit with
use of exec(“ping -qc1 $server->hostname”, $outcome, $statusq); Then i got real 
time monitoring with milliseconds for each sites using some crappy substr and str-
replace. Great work !

It would be nice if it has pinging option which shows the latency. Appreciate the
work. Thank you.

 [west70th](https://profiles.wordpress.org/west70th/) August 24, 2019

This plugin does exactly what I was needing, which is to show a live status of server
availability. It customizable, can configure which protocol to use, create a list
of servers to ping. Had a question and the developer emailed back promptly. Great
little plugin.
