Mod-status is an Apache module which allows server administrators to monitor how well their server is performing with an HTML interface which can be accessible via web browser.<\/p>\n

For this tutorial you must have a knowledge on how to install and configure Basic Apache Server.<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Apache<\/a><\/p>\n

\u00a0How to Enable mod_status in Apache<\/h3>\n

By default Apache comes with mod_status enabled, If not we can do it in Apache configuration file:<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
nano \/etc\/httpd\/conf\/httpd.conf<\/pre>\n
Open the file and Search for the word \u201cmod_status<\/strong>\u201d or keep scrolling down until you find a line containing:<\/p>\n
\n
#LoadModule status_module modules\/mod_status.so<\/pre>\n<\/div>\n
#means mod_status is disabled. Remove the \u2018#<\/strong>\u2018 from start of line to enable mod_status.<\/p>\n
\n
LoadModule status_module modules\/mod_status.so<\/pre>\n<\/div>\n
How to configure mod-status<\/h3>\n
Now search for the word \u201cLocation<\/strong>\u201d or scroll down until you find a section for\u00a0mod_status<\/strong>\u00a0which would look like following:<\/p>\n
\n
# Allow server status reports generated by mod_status,\r\n# with the URL of http:\/\/servername\/server-status\r\n# Change the \".example.com\" to match your domain to enable.\r\n#<Location \/server-status>\r\n# SetHandler server-status\r\n#\u00a0Order deny,allow\r\n#\u00a0Deny from all\r\n#\u00a0Allow from .example.com\r\n#<\/Location>\r\n<\/pre>\n<\/div>\n
In the above, uncomment the lines for\u00a0Location directive<\/strong>,\u00a0SetHandler<\/strong>\u00a0and the\u00a0directory restrictions <\/strong>as per your requirements. For example, we can keep it simple with the\u00a0Order Allow<\/strong>,\u00a0deny<\/strong>\u00a0and it\u2019s\u00a0allowed for all<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
\n
<Location \/server-status>\r\nSetHandler server-status\r\nOrder allow,deny\r\nDeny from all\r\nAllow from all\r\n<\/Location><\/pre>\n<\/div>\n
If you have created more than one Apache virtual hosts, you need to define the same configuration for each virtual host for any domains you\u2019ve configured in Apache.<\/p>\n
For Example it will look like this:<\/p>\n
\n
<VirtualHost *:80>\r\n\r\nServerAdmin tecmint@example.com\r\nDocumentRoot \/var\/www\/html\/example.com\r\nServerName example.com\r\nErrorLog logs\/example.com-error_log\r\nCustomLog logs\/example.com-access_log common\r\n<Location \/server-status>\r\nSetHandler server-status\r\nOrder allow,deny\r\nDeny from all\r\nAllow from example.com\r\n<\/Location>\r\n<\/VirtualHost><\/pre>\n<\/div>\n
Enable ExtendedStatus:<\/h3>\n
By enabling \u201cExtendedStatus<\/strong>\u201d we will be able to get the more statistical information like, CPU usage<\/strong>,\u00a0request per second<\/strong>,\u00a0total traffic<\/strong>, etc. To enable it, we have to edit the same\u00a0httpd.conf<\/strong>\u00a0file and search for the word \u201cExtended<\/strong>\u201d and Uncomment the line and need to set the status \u201cOn<\/strong>\u201d for\u00a0ExtendedStatus<\/strong>\u00a0directive.<\/p>\n
\n
# ExtendedStatus controls whether Apache will generate \"full\" status\r\n# information (ExtendedStatus On) or just basic information (ExtendedStatus\r\n# Off) when the \"server-status\" handler is called. The default is Off.\r\n#\r\nExtendedStatus On\r\n<\/pre>\n<\/div>\n
Restart Apache:<\/h3>\n
Now to make sure that you\u2019ve correctly enabled and configured Apache server status page run:<\/p>\n
\n
# httpd -t\r\nSyntax OK<\/pre>\n<\/div>\n
Finally restart the httpd service:<\/p>\n
\n
Service httpd restart<\/pre>\n<\/div>\n
Access mod_status Page:<\/p>\n
Now the Apache status<\/a> page will be accessible via your domain name with \u201c\/server-status<\/strong>\u201d at the following URL\u2019s.<\/p>\n
\n
http:\/\/serveripaddress\/server-status\r\nOR\r\nhttp:\/\/serev-hostname\/server-status<\/pre>\n<\/div>\n
Now with the above HTML you can see all information about\u00a0server uptime, process Id\u00a0with its\u00a0respective client, and the page they are trying to access.It will helps us to understand the situation better.<\/p>\n
You can refresh the page every time to see the updated statistics.<\/p>\n
You can also set the automatic refresh to do that, You can add \u201c?refresh=N\u201d\u00a0at the end of the\u00a0URL. Where\u00a0N\u00a0can be replaced with the number of seconds which you want your page to get refreshed.<\/p>\n
\n
http:\/\/serveripaddress\/server-status\/?refresh=5\r\n<\/pre>\n<\/div>\n
To view the Apache status page from the command-line interface using the special command-line browsers called\u00a0links or lynx. You can install them using below command:<\/p>\n
\n
# yum install links\r\nOR\r\n# yum install lynx<\/pre>\n<\/div>\n
Once done, you can get the same statistics on your terminal by using following command.<\/p>\n
\n
links http:\/\/serveripaddress\/server-status\r\nOR\r\nlynx http:\/\/serveripaddress\/server-status\r\nOR\r\n\/etc\/init.d\/httpd fullstatus<\/pre>\n<\/div>\n
That\u2019s all for now, we will come with more tips and tricks on cpanel and plesk in future tutorials. Till then stay tuned to\u00a0cpanelplesk.com<\/strong>\u00a0and don\u2019t forget to send your valuable comments.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
