IRCG 4 Status Module

IRCG 4 includes a module which keeps track of the internal status. You can query IRCG 4 e.g. for the number of established IRC connections, the number of bytes sent to and received from IRC servers, the current memory usage and so on. All this data can be used for improving the performance of the IRCG server and detecting failures before their impact becomes a threat to your business.

This information can be easily obtained by PHP scripts which facilitates the integration of IRCG 4 into enterprise monitoring systems. A call to phpinfo() will display all available data.

In the example below, you can see some data points.

• A quarter million IRC connections handled in one hour, or more than 4000 per minute
• Maximum concurrency of 925 connections
• 30MB IRC data transmitted
• 4.2GB IRC data received
• 2.3GB HTTP data sent
• 120M format messages generated which made up the HTTP stream
