Using The Mod_Status Utility - Oracle Oracle9i Application Manual

Monitoring the Web Server

Using the mod_status Utility

To enable monitoring, edit the httpd.conf file to replace your_domain.com with
the hostname of the server you want to monitor.
<Location /server-status>
</Location>
Ensure that the ExtendedStatus directive is set to On, so that the maximum
amount of information is displayed.
When you allow access from all domains, instead of just your_domain.com , you
can monitor the server from machines outside of your domain, but be aware of the
security implications of this: your server status is accessible from any site. It is
probably best to specify the domain(s) from which you want to monitor your
system.
With monitoring enabled, you can view current statistics from
http://hostname:port/server-status. These statistics help you to gain
insight on how busy your system is.
The display includes:
