How to make a server usage meter like this one?

You can use SNMP to get the data.
Then you can read the manual to use it with php

Uptime is done primarily through PHP
CPU is a custom made program that is not available for release
Memory is an external program manipulated by PHP.

Only the graphs are done by SNMP, not the data on that bar.

@thenico: SNMP should be kinda cool, but for some strange reason, by installing it, add/remove programs asks me for a XP CD. I have some XP CDs, but they don't match my language and service pack.

@Andy: I can make CPU monitoring and memory monitoring in AutoIt. I think PHP can read the console stream (not the command prompt stream).

EDIT#1:
Well, here's it: a memory stat program in AutoIt.

Code:

; obtain stats
$MStats = MemGetStats()

; cut the dots (we don't need what's after them) and convert values to MB
; StringSplit is virtually the same as PHP explode()
; yet another bug requires +1 to free memory; eg. if the system have 255 MB RAM and 156 MB are free,
; MemGetStats returns 98 MB in free memory.
$total2 = StringSplit($MStats[1] / 1024,".")
$used2 = StringSplit(($MStats[1] - $MStats[2]) / 1024,".")
$free2 = StringSplit(($MStats[2] / 1024) + 1,".")
$total = $total2[1]
$used = $used2[1]
$free = $free2[1]

; write the stats to console stream (not the stdout!)
ConsoleWrite("<b>Total memory:</b> " & $total & " MB, Used: " & $used & " MB, Free: " & $free & " MB" & @CRLF)

Compiled version is here.

EDIT#2:
THE LINK IS NOW OK.
Good news: PHP can read command output via console stream.
Only tested with passthru().

New version. See the link. (if you can't find it...)

<blink>For hardware monitoring to work, you must have EVEREST installed and open. Don't forget to go to</blink> File > Preferences > Hardware monitoring > External Applications > tick Enable writing sensor values to Registry > Select All.

WARNING: If PHP don't runs as the same user as EVEREST (eg. when Abyss is installed as service), the program doesn't work. The workaround is: Start > Run > services.msc > Right-click "Abyss Web Server" or "Apache2" > Properties > Logon > This account > your user in the first input box > the other two with your user's password. Restart the web server to make guarantee.

Video tutorial (the configuring EVEREST one):

A small typo leads the File menu to appear too fast.
I clicked the first item, which is "Preferences".

A while ago the script you see above was still offered on the AbyssUnderground website: http://web.archive.org/web/200602080942 ... script.php

(Andy: if you want that removed, feel free to get rid of it)

Its still available on the old site (http://old.abyssunderground.co.uk). This is an unsupported script though because it doesn't work on all systems. The CPU Usage is got from WMI which is slow and buggy.

I tried phpSysInfo and it's good. (Edited 26/Nov/2009)
It supports several sensors programs, including the popular Motherboard Monitor 5 (Windows) and LM-Sensors (Linux). (Edited 26/Nov/2009)
Also, version 3 has UPS support, but only apcupsd at this time. (Edited 26/Nov/2009)
