OpenArena/Q3 Server monitoring

Unpack stats.tgz.

$ cd stats
$ mkdir images
$ mkdir data

Unpack Google Protobuf and you'll get, for example, protobuf-2.1.0. Go into it and install it. And then run:

$ ln -s protobuf-2.1.0/python/google google

This should generate server_pb2.py:

$ protoc server.proto --python_out=.

You have to change these to the absolute path to the stats directory:

$ grep /path/to/stats *
count:STATS_DIR=/path/to/stats
oass.py:DATA_FILENAME_TEMPLATE = '/path/to/stats/data/%Y%m%d%H%M.pb'
plot:STATS_DIR=/path/to/stats

Edit oass.py and specify the master server and the protocols.

Start the monitoring:

$ crontab -e
# Each 4 minutes, get a list of all the players.
0,4,8,12,16,20,24,28,32,36,40,44,48,52,56 * * * * /path/to/stats/oass.py
# Daily, at 06:02, plot the players and servers stats for the last 24 hours.
2 6 * * * /path/to/stats/plot 2>&1 >>/tmp/asdfaaaa.txt
# Weekly, at 03:00, count the median number of players for the last week.
