- node description updated - node now errors if msg.host or msg.port is left blank and not configured on the node - server type & host is not required when configuring the node since it can be passed in via the inputs - when modifying a node in the editor you can now view available server types at the bottom of the properties. This is parsed from the gamedig readme. - Update gamedig version - package-lock.json added - palette label changed to "Query Game Server"

# node-red-contrib-gamedig
|
|
|
|
Query for the status of most game/voice servers using Node-RED.
|
|
|
|
This package adds the node "Query Game Server" that uses the NPM package [GameDig](https://www.npmjs.com/package/gamedig) to query if a server is online or not and if so returns the data of the server.
|
|
|
|
You can pass the server type, host, and port on the input message or define them on the node (settings defined on the node will override msg values).
|
|
|
|
### Usage Examples
|
|
#### Inserting query data into InfluxDB and using Grafana to view results
|
|
|
|
I created a post on my website about how to use this node to query gameservers and store the results in InfluxDB. I then give a dashboard in Grafana that can be used to display the data. Check it out here:
