Subsonic Forum

Hello,
I wrote a plugin for munin to graph the active users in Subsonic (users currently playing music/video) : you can find it here

Just add it in your /etc/munin/plugins directory and don't forget to set the URL, LOGIN, PASSWORD options (login/password of a existing account in your subsonic)
I personally created an account for Munin with no right (can't even play music).

After few minutes you should see something like that :


The plugin is working with version 4.6 (build 2585), and I have no idea if it can work with any previous version.

Cheers.

[EDIT]
v1.1 : Updated the parsing of the JSESSIONID
v1.2 : Automaticaly delete the cookie
v1.3 : Use the API

oh hell yea! Thank you sir, I will let be trying this out tonight.

Where do i find : /etc/munin/plugins directory ?

I take it this app is for Linux users only?

Indeed.
There is a windows version of Munin, you can give a try : http://code.google.com/p/munin-node-win32/

Hi,

Thanks for the plugin.

At the end of the script, missing:
print "users.value $users";

I think I have an error: nb of user is x2. I have try with 1 user and 2, see 2 and 4 in munin.

Strange, I updated the script with a new version, you can try this one (see first post)
Also which version, do you use ? This script has only been tested on 4.6 (build 2585), I really don't know it's behavior with a previous version of subsonic.

Cheers.

I have: 4.6 (build 2583) - 2011-12-06

Where do you find v2585? I see lastet war version:
subsonic-4.6-war.zip 2011-12-06 18.3 MB

I have add this at the end:

#Print the result
$users=$users/2;
print "users.value $users\n";

mmm sometimes I have values with coma :/.
2,5 users...

What is your version?

Where did you find this version?
I have the last war version...

It's the .deb version : http://www.subsonic.org/pages/download2.jsp?target=subsonic-4.6.deb

Ok, thanks.
I will be wait the 4.7 version .

Also, remind that it's a "quick and dirty" way of doing.
If an user decided not to show what he's currently listening, he won't be included into the stats.

The best way I think is to ask Sindre an API to simply access to the right value.

[EDIT]
Talking of an API, there IS an API to properly get this value, I udated my script (can be found into my first post).
