[hobbit] Apache tag

[Charles Jones]

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  (you can also go to 
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:

1.2.3.4    my.server.com  # conn ssh http://1.2.3.4 
apache=http://1.2.3.4/server-status?auto 
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 
"apache=http://192.168.1.25/hobbit/" which just won't work - that's the 
kind of URL you would use for the http tag).

Hope this helped.
