Apache HTTP Server Version 2.0
Apache HTTP Server Version 2.0
| Description: | Provides information on server activity and performance |
|---|---|
| Status: | Base |
| Module Identifier: | status_module |
| Source File: | mod_status.c |
The Status module allows a server administrator to find out how well their server is performing. A HTML page is presented that gives the current server statistics in an easily readable form. If required this page can be made to automatically refresh (given a compatible browser). Another page gives a simple machine-readable list of the current server state.
The details given are:
A compile-time option must be used to display the details marked "(*)" as the instrumentation required for obtaining these statistics does not exist within standard Apache.
To enable status reports only for browsers from the foo.com
domain add this code to your httpd.conf
configuration file
<Location /server-status>
SetHandler server-status
Order Deny,Allow
Deny from all
Allow from .foo.com
</Location>
You can now access server statistics by using a Web browser
to access the page
http://your.server.name/server-status
Note that mod_status will only work
when you are running Apache in standalone mode and not
inetd mode.
You can get the status page to update itself automatically if
you have a browser that supports "refresh". Access the page
http://your.server.name/server-status?refresh=N to
refresh the page every N seconds.
A machine-readable version of the status file is available by
accessing the page
http://your.server.name/server-status?auto. This
is useful when automatically run, see the Perl program in the
/support directory of Apache,
log_server_status.
mod_status is
compiled into the server, its handler capability is available
in all configuration files, including
per-directory files (e.g.,
.htaccess). This may have security-related
ramifications for your site.
| Description: | Keep track of extended status information for each request |
|---|---|
| Syntax: | ExtendedStatus On|Off |
| Default: | ExtendedStatus Off |
| Context: | server config |
| Status: | Base |
| Module: | mod_status |
| Compatibility: | ExtendedStatus is only available in Apache 1.3.2 and later. |
This setting applies to the entire server, and cannot be enabled or disabled on a virtualhost-by-virtualhost basis. The collection of extended status information can slow down the server.
