   PERFORMANCE MONITORING TESTS

apache[=URL]
   If you are running an Apache webserver, adding this tag makes
   /bbtest-net
   <http://192.168.0.103/hobbit/help/manpages/man1/bbtest-net.1.html>(1)/
   collect performance statistics from the Apache webserver by querying
   the URL *http://IP.ADDRESS.OF.HOST/server-status?auto*. The response
   is sent as a data-report and processed by the Hobbit hobbitd_larrd
   module into an RRD file and an "apache" graph. If your webserver
   requires e.g. authentication, or runs on a different URL for the
   server-status, you can provide the full URL needed to fetch the
   server-status page, e.g.
   *apache=http://LOGIN:PASSWORD (at) 10.0.0.1/server-status?auto* for a
   password protected server-status page, or
   *apache=http://10.0.0.1:8080/apache/server-status?auto* for a server
   listening on port 8080 and with a different path to the
   server-status page.

   Note that you need to enable the server-status URL in your Apache
   configuration. The following configuration is needed:

       <Location /server-status>
           SetHandler server-status
           Order deny,allow
           Deny from all
           allow from 127.0.0.1
       </Location>
       ExtendedStatus On

   Change "127.0.0.1" to the IP-address of the server that runs your
   network tests.
