For my game server hosting and community website I've assembled a group of scripts that will query specified game server and log their current player count, and max players. Since I put a lot of effort into it, I thought I'd contribute back. Enjoy!
Notes:
Some of these scripts require that qstat be installed. Some of the code for the Battlefield scripts was taken from the bfserverstats project over at sourceforge http://sourceforge.net/projects/bfserverstats.

This is awesome! I was actually looking at getting something similar going. The only problam I seem to have is that the game server I'm trying to graph doesn't seem to have a way to poll via networking. (It's Delta Force 1) I need to run an application that grabs values from memory while the application is running.
I was going to modify BAB.stats to see if I could get it's information into Cacti...
Anyone else done anything similar? Once I get it done, I will post it here.

| If the game has an in game browser or is support by All Seeing Eye then I'm sure it has some protocol to query for the stats. Search google and you might get lucky.

| Turns out that qstat supports Delta Force after all... using -sms option... but I can't seem to get it working.

Something like this should work:
| Code: |
#!/usr/bin/perl
my $address = shift;
$response = `qstat -raw __ -sms $address`;
@response = split('__',$response);
print "player_count:".$response[5]." ";
print "max_players:".$response[4]." ";
|
Make sure that you have execute file permissions on the file. Then make sure that that qstat command line works.

| Well althought -sms is supposed to be Delta Force, I keep on getting a Timeout... I don't know exactly what's wrong.

This is a great addon 
I'm using it without a problem for my Call of Duty server,
but Battlefield Vietnam is giving a problem.
the maximum players surrent: keeps saying 'nan' :S
The other values are all saying '0' and when i join the server it goes to '1'.
any idea what might be the problem? and maybe how to fix it

It is because PHP is outputting a "Powered-By-PHP" header in the script output which would interfer with the first data value i.e. Max_players.
To fix you should modify the data input Method from
| Code: | | php <path_cacti>/scripts/bfv_query.php <address> |
to
| Code: | | php -q <path_cacti>/scripts/bfv_query.php <address> |
Hope that helps

is it just me or is the zip file corrupt.
after importing the XML
here is what i get for the data input method
perl <path_cacti>/scripts/bf_query.pl <address>
i had to edit to look like this perl <path_cact>/scripts/bf_query.pl <address>
I think some of the other XML is corrupt also..

| Quote: | | update /home/chicago/public_html/cacti/rra/eagle7_max_players_129.rrd --template player_count:max_players N:0:24 |
but when cron runs the command the games scripts dont work
| Quote: | | update /home/chicago/public_html/cacti/rra/eagle7_max_players_129.rrd --template player_count:max_players N:: |

| Validating the path and updating the script with the absolute path for qstat did the trick.
