log_server_status - Log periodic status summaries

Available Languages: en | + fr

+ +

This perl script is designed to be run at a frequent interval by + something like cron. It connects to the server and downloads the status + information. It reformats the information to a single line and logs it to + a file. Adjust the variables at the top of the script to specify the + location of the resulting logfile. mod_status will + need to be loaded and configured in order for this script to do its + job.

Usage

+ +

The script contains the following section.

+ +

my $wherelog = "/usr/local/apache2/logs/";  # Logs will be like "/usr/local/apache2/logs/19960312"
+my $server   = "localhost";        # Name of server, could be "www.foo.com"
+my $port     = "80";               # Port on server
+my $request = "/server-status/?auto";    # Request to send

+ + +

You'll need to ensure that these variables have the correct values, +and you'll need to have the /server-status handler +configured at the location specified, and the specified log location +needs to be writable by the user which will run the script.

+ +

Run the script periodically via cron to produce a daily log file, +which can then be used for statistical analysis.
