Cumulus Support

Hi

I am using Saratoga Templates with CumulusMX and running it on Debian Jessie. I have noticed however the System uptime is not reported from CUtags.php. Ken from Saratoga has said the uptime is reported in Windows 10 with CumulsMX so he cannot confirm if this is a Linux issue or not.

extract from CUtags.txt:

OsVersion|Unix 3.16.0.4:|:
OsLanguage|English (United Kingdom):|:
SystemUpTime|0 days 0 hours:|:
ProgramUpTime|11 days 5 hours:|:
CpuName|n/a:|:
CpuCount|2:|:
MemoryStatus|n/a:|:
DisplayMode|n/a:|:

is this a missing feature of CumulusMX running on Linux?

<#MemoryStatus> isn't implemented in MX, but <#SystemUpTime> is. Perhaps Mono doesn't implement the required PerformanceCounter.

But note that the first call apparently returns zero anyway.

For your system uptime, try <?php echo exec('uptime -p'); ?>
Use that right in your page, not from your CUtags file.

Only if your web server is on the same server as your Cumulus, otherwise it gives the web server uptime?

Thank, my Webserver is a QNAP. Cumulus runs on an Intel NUC / Debian jessie. i'll customise the status page to suit.

thanks

System uptime is not reported from CUtags.php in my RPi system too:

OsVersion|Unix 4.1.13.0:|:
OsLanguage|Portuguese (Portugal):|:
SystemUpTime|0 days 0 hours:|:
ProgramUpTime|0 days 0 hours:|:
CpuName|n/a:|:
CpuCount|1:|:

As <#SystemUpTime> is implemented in CumulusMX, could this problem be related with Mono or due to I'm using Portuguese language?

Info bellow from the CumulusMX star/stop script with -s option:
System Uptime of RasberryPi(CumulusMX) is: 1 day 22 hours 34 minutes

This is a know issue, Steve hasn't found a multi-platform solution to fetching that data yet.

Yes, see above. In theory system uptime should be fine as it's available via .net and hence should be available on all platforms via mono. Apparently it doesn't work on all platforms and I don't know why. Hopefully everyone understands that investigating this cannot be a high priority for me.

I use #ProgramUpTime successfully to display how long CumulusMX has been running - not the same as #SystemUpTime I know, but more useful to me as the main system (BananaPi/SSD) stays up as long as there is power as it runs my webserver and mail system.

Thank mcrossley. I thought that it could be related to the fact that I'm using Portuguese language, and some problem with the date format.

Thank you Steve.
Of course I understand. The issue is not very important to me too.

Thank you philpugh
I will try it. Having this will be enough for me.
