Server performance

Method
Asked of the server itself, hour by hour and day by day: its frame rate, the entities in its world and the memory it holds.
Result
This server has not answered a direct query in the last 48 hours.

48 hours: hourly readings. 30 to 90 days: one point a day, with the day's average and lowest fps, most entities and most memory. From asking the server directly; low fps and a climbing entity count mean lag.
