Creating a tool to see server stability since last restart

This suggestion is an idea I've had for awhile about a system to create an easy way to identify the overall stability of a pack in a period of time. I know there exists tools to determine when a server boots up, and it should be a fairly simple task to determine when the last planned restart was (the tool that does the forced restart can log the time the restart happened and use that as a differential). So the next logical step would be the creation of a tool that can track how many "unexpected" crashes there were in a server reboot's time period so that staff, even without crash reports, can identify unstable servers and players can theoretically see what packs have the most issues.


What I suggest involves the following:

1. A tool that on server boot, so that includes when OOM or otherwise killed, will write to a database or a file that the server has booted up and "restarted" via some manner
2. Said output to be collated against when the last and next planned server restart was to determine server "stability" in units of "planned restarts" to allow for active staff to prioritize helping servers currently experiencing issues with stability.

While I am perfectly happy with never being able to myself see such metrics, I believe that it would be beneficial to staff members who wish to work on tackling stability issues to be able to see such issues in real-time and thus would be a great addition for the staff team.

 

i think there should also be a way to my base effect on the server in stand of calling an admin that do that

 

The watchdog actually AFAICT lacks this statistic, unless P30, etc. mean something other than Performance Percentage over the past n minutes, maybe the S statistic has to do with it? But to the best of my knowledge this statistic is not available anywhere

 

I guess you are correct then, that that is what I'm looking for, then all that I would need to see in order to correctly measure stability is "when was the last planned restart executed" and my request would be fulfilled

 

I suppose the UPTIME measurement on the stats could give you an relatively accurate time. Though if you're looking specifically 'planned restart' that may not always be the case.
