Apache Template Config

The Apache http webserver template allows you to monitor your local Cacti server's Apache server for performance KPI's

This template leverages the mod_status module in apache in order to pull the kpi data to feed into the script

CentOS/RedHat Specific Configuration

For Centos/Redhat implementations the config will look as follows

Place the below config in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

LoadModule status_module modules/mod_status.so
ExtendedStatus On

<Location /server-status>
    SetHandler server-status
    Require local
</Location>

Debian Specific Configuration

Enable the apcache2 status module:

Place the below config into a new file (eg, 80-server-status.conf) within /etc/apache2/conf-available

ExtendedStatus On

<Location /server-status>
    SetHandler server-status
    Require local
</Location

Then use the following commands to enable the stauts module and new configuration Note: You must restart the apache ( systemctl restart apache2) for the config to take effect

a2enmod status
a2enconf 80-server-status.conf

Note: This configuration restricts the /server-status url to local access only via the Require local directive
