Apache Load

Monitors Apache traffic, reporting throughput, busy workers, and idle workers.
Overview
This plugin parses the output of the Apache Server Status Page and requires the mod_status
Apache module. It reports the following metrics:
- Throughput in requests/sec
- Busy Workers
- Idle Workers
Configuration
Enable mod_status
The Apache Server Status page (sample) must be accessible for the plugin to report stats. See this guide for instructions on configuring the status page.
Turn ExtendedStatus
On
The plugin uses the Total Accesses
value from the status page to determine the throughput. This is only provided if ExtendedStatus
is on:
See the Apache Docs on mod_status
for more information.
Provide the URL to the machine-readable format
Pingdom Server Monitor requires the machine-readable format of the status page. If ExtendedStatus
is set to On
, you’ll need to explicitly specify the machine-readable format of the page.
To access the machine-readable page, just add the following parameter to the status page URL in your Pingdom Server Monitor settings: ?auto
