Maplestory (MapleSEA) Network Status Monitoring – Update 1

Author duststar | 11.01.2010 | Category Cyber Security, MapleSEA

Continuing from this post.

Today evening managed to meddle with jpGraph‘s powerful graphing ability.  Added new RRD-style graphs to show past 24 hours network latency and uptime for all monitored services!

So let us go through how to interpret the graphs. (If you cannot wait to see them, just go here!)

The 1st graph sample shows us “www.maplesea.com – past 24hr network uptime status”. We have the timestamp and network latency in milliseconds on the x and y axis scale respectively. Currently we are looking at data from yesterday night 23:01 hrs to current time 22:38 hrs. Average network latency was around 300 ms (From US to SG/MY takes about such timing). At about today 00:30 hrs, high network latency spikes were observed.

For 2nd graph sample, the results are pretty much the same as the 1st graph sample. From this we could conclude that there might be a small network maintenance carried out during the period of high network latency spikes.

Next we have the 3rd graph sample of forums.asiasoftsea.net. The graph shows a near constant (good) network performance for forums.asiasoftsea.net. However, there were 2 network disruptions (network unreachable) after midnight 00:15 hrs and today evening 17:10 hrs. This might be due to the forums performing automated self maintenance. The timing at 00:15 hrs coincides with what seems to be the maintenance timing for www.maplesea.com and maple.playpark.net as well.

This 4th graph sample  showed us a stable network connectivity for Singapore gateway (the MapleSEA’s in-game login server) constant around 280 ms.

The last graph sample showed us network connectivity for Malaysia gateway which has 2 high network latency spikes occurring around last night 23:30 hrs and after midnight 00:25 hrs.

Hope you like what has been going on at duststar.net. There will be more surprises coming soon!
