Apache webserver performance statistics

Hello out there,


does anyone know a good way to monitor performance and / or statistics of an Apache webserver 2.4 and present the results to Xymon?

Using mod_status together with the apache[=URL] tag in the hosts.cfg file "only" provides me with some simple graphs in the trend pages.
I'm thinking about things like http requests per second, response time etc.
Should be used on a webserver serving up to 15 virtual hosts.


Regards
Christian

Hi,

i want to monitor apache webserver statistics on a REMOTE server, not on the Xymon server itself.....
This means that I need to install webalizer on the remote server, but i'm not sure if we are allowed to do that, or that the company will allow that....

Hi THere ,

One simple start is to install webalizer ....
And then make a shortcut to it in the xymonmenu.

Google for webalizer ...

Hi,

i knew about this already; but this creates apache graphs in the trends page only, isn’t it?
I need to have something like an apache column containing all these statistics and performance data, so that I’m enabled to set thresholds on these data….
Or do I understand something wrong?

Once upon a time there was a Big Brother monitor that used Apache Benchmark to get some apache performance info...it's also distinctly possible that I wrote one years ago and have misplaced it.  I _think_ it was just called ab or abtest.

Hi,

and what do i use instead of bb-network.sh which is described in there?

In the meantime I have installed webalizer and configured it against each vhost on that apache machine.
It’s running fine. However, now I’m reconfiguring it to report webalizer data to Xymon so that I’m enabled to use thresholds against those values…..
