Percona Apache Monitoring Template for Cacti

Percona Apache Monitoring Template for Cacti

These templates use ss_get_by_ssh.php to connect to a server via SSH and extract statistics from the Apache server running there, by executing the wget program with the url /server-status.

Installation

Once the SSH connection is working, configure Apache to report its status. The typical setup is to enable status for 127.0.0.1 at the URL /server-status. If you decide to use a different URL, you’ll have to configure that in the script configuration (covered in the general install guide) or pass a command-line option (also covered in the general install guide).

Be sure to configure Apache with the ExtendedStatus On directive so you get full status.

Finally, test one of your hosts like this. You may need to change some of the example values below, such as the cacti username and the hostname you’re connecting to:

sudo -u cacti php /usr/share/cacti/scripts/ss_get_by_ssh.php --type apache --host 127.0.0.1 --items gg,gh
