Servedat Status

To query the version and run-time status of a servedat server, ping its DNS name or IP address.  If the server is running on a port other than 8080, include that as well.

mtping <address>[:port]

For example:

host-14# mtping dataexpedition.com ACT_IDSTR kafar.dataexpedition.com:8080 (45.26.246.161:8080) Response 0 of 208 bytes after 0 repeats in 0ms (Version 2/0): servedat - 1.18.3 July 2019 - DEI, DOC-2.3.2 MTP-osx-4.2.9 3077 00000001: ExpeDat-1.18D Data Expedition Inc., DataExpedition.com Server Statistics (11803): Name: servedat Version: 1.18.3 Platform: osx Clock: Fri Aug 16 14:28:41 2019 Clock Skew: 0 seconds Options: ro,rh Load: Current: 0, MaxConfig: 2, MaxStart: 2, TotalStart: 155 Capacity: Limit: 10, Exceeded: 0 Up Time: 6.71 weeks Config Time: 2.54 weeks Idle Time: 27 seconds Errors: Errors: 0, Failures: 2, Warnings: 63, Denials: 5 Data: In: 100 megabytes, Out: 1.40 gigabytes Bandwidth: In: 0 bits/sec, Out: 14.0 megabits/sec Drops: Bad Checksums: 0, Bad Headers: 0

The fields displayed may vary depending on the server version and configuration.

Name	Name of the server application.
Version	Component version of the server application.
Platform	Platform specifier of the server operating system.
Clock	Server's current time, expressed in the local timezone of the system running mtping.
Clock Skew	Difference between Clock and the local system time.  Note that high network latency may cause this to display ±1 even if the clocks are perfectly synchronized.  See "System Clock Accuracy" for important information about keeping clocks accurate.
Options	When present, this line shows server-wide access restrictions currently in effect:
ro	ReadOnly
wo	WriteOnly
rh	RestrictHome
nl	No links: symbolic links are not supported.
no	NoOverwrite
wl	WriteListOnly
go	GetOnly
Load	Number of concurrent transactions currently running, highest value since the last configuration change, the highest value since server startup, and the total number of transactions attempted since startup.
Capacity	The maximum number of concurrent transactions allowed, and the number of times transactions have been denied due to this limit being reached.
Up Time	Time since the server was started.
Config Time	Time since the last configuration change.
Idle Time	Time since the last transaction.
Errors	Number of server errors, transaction failures, warnings, and transaction rejections since startup.  See the servedat Monitoring section for details.
Data	The number of bytes transferred in and out since the last configuration change.
Bandwidth	The bandwidth consumed incoming and outgoing averaged over the previous minute in bits per second.
Drops	The number of datagrams dropped due to bad checksums and due to bad headers.

Note that a query via mtping does not count as a transaction for the purposes of server capacity or idle.
