JodianGaming Posted February 24 Report Share Posted February 24 (edited) Just going based on recent experience, and watching the server status topic, I'm wondering if it would make sense (or even be possible) for the various parts of the Net7 server to have some kind of active monitors to watch for halts or crashes, and perform auto-restarts when these occur. I've seen these functions built into other systems, such as the Ark Server Monitor and the Game Server Manager for Empyrion. Mind you those projects are open-source and have a large community of coders behind them and improving them. That said, most of them just watch the process activity for stalling or send a random query to the active ports to make sure they respond. It just seems to make sense for a system that's designed to be online all the time, like a server. It also frees up the hardware team because they don't have to constantly respond to every little server stoppage.

JodianGaming Posted February 26 Author Report Share Posted February 26 (edited) UPDATE Posting here, cause the server status post is currently locked. As I understand the current problem, part of the server seems to be crashing (login) and the main server isn't recovering it like it should? If that's the case I'd like to put forward a temporary fix (so to speak). I've hosted a ton of servers in my time and, on occasion, some of them haven't been what I'd call entirely stable. That said, some time ago I came across this freeware developer who had a pretty solid Server Monitor. He goes by the name Jimbob Slimbob. His server monitor is pretty powerful and offers a ton of configuration options to, basically, watch an executable to make sure it hasn't stalled, crashed, or shut down. If it does, it restarts it. I've had it work with Minecraft, 7Days, The Forest, and many other servers. Again, it's completely free with no ads or anything. The dude made it because, like me, he loves gaming and hosting servers. Only catch is it's Windows based, and I'm not sure what your E&B server operates on. Anyway, if you want to check it out, here's a link to his site; https://www.jimbobslimbob.com/ P.S. Just forwarded this info to Kyp Edited February 26 by JodianGaming Added the PS message Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
