A while ago I wanted a pet project, and figured I wanted to play some with Graphite & Grafana, and what better to pick then NS2 to try and learn while playing around :)
This resulted in me creating statistics about the general NS2 game that I could easily Poll from servers.
This Includes:
  • Total Players / Servers / Slots
  • Popular: Mods / Server Slots
  • What country has the most players
  • Game Types
  • Is windows or Linux the favourite server
  • How long does it take before all servers are upgraded?

But also Server Specific Information:
  • Entities
  • Players
  • Tickrate
  • The scores the perfbrowser uses

As I first had this in Grafana as manually generated dashboards, and we all know that creating/updating stuff manually is annoying so I automated it.. Figured why not take it a step further and create a small website around it to make it easily browse-able.

In case I made you curious, you can see it all at ns2servers.net
Next on my list of things to play with is round/game statistics a bit like the former ns2stats.com but then a lightweight version of it.

Ideas/thoughts, lemme know ;)

    Really cool, but consider pagination or choosing which graphs to look at. Displaying all is too much for the browser. Especially when changing the timespan.

    Ill see if it can somehow be optimized, for now you could try using Google Chrome. Noticed a huge speed difference between Firefox & Chrome myself. :)
