PERFORMANCE MONITORING TESTS


apache[=URL] 
If you are running an Apache webserver, adding this tag makes bbtest-net

collect performance statistics from the Apache webserver by querying the URL
http://IP.ADDRESS.OF.HOST/server-status?auto
<http://IP.ADDRESS.OF.HOST/server-status?auto>; . The response is sent as a
data-report and processed by the Hobbit hobbitd_larrd module into an RRD
file and an "apache" graph. If your webserver requires e.g. authentication,
or runs on a different URL for the server-status, you can provide the full
URL needed to fetch the server-status page, e.g.
apache=http://LOGIN:PASSWORD at 10.0.0.1/server-status?auto

port 8080 and with a different path to the server-status page. 

Note that you need to enable the server-status URL in your Apache
configuration. The following configuration is needed: 
    <Location /server-status>         SetHandler server-status         Order deny,allow         Deny from all         allow from 127.0.0.1     </Location>     ExtendedStatus On 
Change "127.0.0.1" to the IP-address of the server that runs your network
tests.

Okay, first you must make the indicated addition to your apache httpd.conf
(or you can make a hobbit.conf in apaches conf.d directory). 

Then, you must restart apache for the change to take effect
(/etc/init.d/httpd restart).

Then, manually test the server-stats url to make sure it's working, by using
your browser and going to http://your.server.com/server-status?auto
<http://your.server.com/server-status?auto>;   (you can also go to
http://your.server.com/server-status/
<http://your.server.com/server-status/>;  to get some nice extended apache
performance info).  You should get back something like this:


Total Accesses: 131577

Total kBytes: 796036

CPULoad: 1.0401

Uptime: 21595

ReqPerSec: 6.09294

BytesPerSec: 37746.7

BytesPerReq: 6195.16

BusyWorkers: 43

IdleWorkers: 13


Scoreboard:
RR__RWR___RR_R_RR_RRRRRRRRR_RRRRRRR__RRR_RRRRCRRRRR_RRRR....................
............................................................................
............................................................................
............................
Now, assuming you are getting back the server-status info, time to make sure
your bb-hosts is correctly configured to collect and graph the data.  Heres
what I have in mine:

LARRD:*,apache:apache|apache1|apache2|apache3

From what you said of your setup, I'm guessing your only problem is using
the wrong url for the apache tag (you used

just won't work - that's the kind of URL you would use for the http tag).

Hope this helped.

Very nice. I hope you don't mind if I include this in the docs ?
