apache-top

apache-top provides real-time display of the active processes from a remote apache server. I’ts like the top linux command.

• The server uptime and the last time it was restarted
• The CPU usage
• Requests by second, Kb by second and the average Kb by request

• A graph with the inactive and active processes and their status

Requirements

• python 2.4
• python-curses package
• Apache 2.0 webserver with mod_status and the ExtendedStatus directive activated. You will also need to be allowed to access from your ip address.

Examples

To see statistics from the webserver 192.168.0.1:

apache-top -u http://192.168.0.1/server-status

If for any reason we don’t have direct access to 80 port, a tunel can be created using ssh:

ssh -L 8080:localhost:80 192.168.0.1

And we run this command in other terminal:

apache-top -u http://localhost:8080/server-status
