HaloNet.Net lobby monitoring service

HaloNet.Net monitors the lobby of Halo CE and PC as of September 2019. For clans and guilds, we can also graph total player counts for all your servers.

Do this:

Create a file called server-list.txt anywhere on your website. Let's call it: http://yourclan.com/server-list.txt

In that file, put all your server IP addresses or hostnames and a port number, one per line, like this:

68.129.226.42:2302
68.129.226.24:2304
...

Contact us, and give us your official clan name, a "display name" (which can be the same as the official name), and the URL to the server list text file.

We will create a batch of graphs, from 15 minutes, all the way to one year, that you can include in web pages, forum posts, etc.

The server list from your website will be pulled once an hour. The lobby is queried once a minute for servers that are up, and the player counts. The graphs are updated once every five minutes.

An example graph is this (updated live every five minutes): http://halonet.net/clans/graphs/%7BBK%7D_1week.png

If you do not have a web site you can place the server-list.txt file on, we will provide one for you. Contact us to edit that file whenever you need to.

Many other things are possible, and any suggestions are always welcome.
