Apache monitoring with Netdata

Monitors one or more Apache servers depending on configuration.

Requirements

• apache with enabled mod_status

It produces the following charts:

1. Requests in requests/s

   • requests

2. Connections

   • connections

3. Async Connections

   • keepalive
   • closing
   • writing

4. Bandwidth in kilobytes/s

   • sent

5. Workers

   • idle
   • busy

6. Lifetime Avg. Requests/s in requests/s

   • requests_sec

7. Lifetime Avg. Bandwidth/s in kilobytes/s

   • size_sec

8. Lifetime Avg. Response Size in bytes/request

   • size_req

Configuration

Edit the python.d/apache.conf configuration file using edit-config from the Netdata config directory, which is typically at /etc/netdata.

cd /etc/netdata # Replace this path with your Netdata config directory, if different

sudo ./edit-config python.d/apache.conf

Needs only url to server's server-status?auto

Example for two servers:

update_every : 10

priority : 90100

local:

url : 'http://localhost/server-status?auto'

remote:

url : 'http://www.apache.org/server-status?auto'

update_every : 5

Without configuration, module attempts to connect to http://localhost/server-status?auto
