RE: [hobbit] Apache tag

[Kevin Hanrahan <Kevin (at) ewormhole.com>]

thanks for the reply. I did exactly as in the example before I wrote the
previous email and got nothing. That is why I was asking for help or further
clarification.

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
<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
<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
<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.

Please explain the apache performance tag further. I added the following to

my bb-hosts for a host running apache:



apache=http://192.168.1.25/hobbit/ <http://192.168.1.25/hobbit/> 



It is in fact the hobbit host. I get no apache column or anything

related....where did I make my mistake?
