apache-top

Description

apache-top provides real-time display of the active processes from a remote apache server. I’ts like the top linux command.

With apache-top you can get:

The active apache processes with their associated PID, the status, the seconds being active, the CPU usage, the asociated VirtualHost, the accessing ip and the request (POST or GET, the file being accessed and the used protocol)
The server uptime and the last time it was restarted
The CPU usage
Requests by second, Kb by second and the average Kb by request
Number of active and inactive processes
A graph with the inactive and active processes and their status

Requeriments

python 2.4
Apache 2.0 webserver with mod_status and the ExtendedStatus directive activated. You will also need to be allowed to access from your ip address.

Download

apache-top 1.0

Examples

To see the statistics for the webserver 192.168.0.1:

apache-top -u http://192.168.0.1/server-status

If for any reason we don’t have direct access to 80 port, a tunel can be createdusing ssh:

ssh -L 8080:localhost:80 192.168.0.1

And we run this command in other terminal:

apache-top -u http://localhost:8080/server-status

Thanks for this project! This is exactly what I’m looking for. apachetop is good, but it is totaly useless in case you have different access log for every virutal host.

In program help (with ?) will be great.

fr3nd | 3/9/2006 | 5:21 pm

Kepi, apache-top doesn’t use the access log to retrieve the information, so having different logs for every virtualhost doesn’t affect it

Chris Brunner | 7/9/2006 | 8:24 pm

Is there an older version that works with Apache 1?

fr3nd | 8/9/2006 | 2:03 pm

Chris: Sorry, but there is no version compatible with apache 1.

fr3nd: (reply to 2)

Yes, I know it! I talk about apachetop (the one without – :) as you said.. simmilar project with diferent approach). I like it but it is useless for me cause it depends on access logs.

And this is why I love your’s apache-top :) It saves my live many times from time i wrote here for the first time. Thanks again.

Hello, on a cPanel server when starting it:

./apache-top.py -u http://localhost/whm-server-status

ERROR parsing the data. Please, make sure you are alowed to read the server-status page and you have ExtendedStatus flag activated

What may be the problem ?

Thanks,

fr3nd | 30/11/2007 | 2:23 pm

Docenta: Check you’re using apache 2.0 and try to access to that url using a “normal” browser to see if the server-status page works correctly.

http://www.fr3nd.net/stuff/projects/apache-top/apache-top.py

Link gives an Internal Server Error

fr3nd | 30/7/2008 | 8:30 am

The internal Server Error has been fixed. Sorry for the inconvenience! :)

Héctor | 12/9/2008 | 8:04 pm

Maybe this is a dumb question, but is it “/server-status” dir suppose to exist? Does apache creates it when ExtendedStatus is On? Or what this folder should contain or what does apache-top is looking for in here?

Thank you,

Stephen | 24/10/2008 | 6:05 am

Support for apache 2.2 would be nice :)

Bostjan Skufca | 4/4/2009 | 5:47 am

I am getting this error – does anybody know why?

# ./apache-top.py -u http://localhost/server-status
File “./apache-top.py”, line 141
print main.__doc__
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

cantare | 4/6/2009 | 11:14 pm

Is there any chance of support for Apache 2.2? All I get is “ERROR parsing the data.”

Kepi | 5/6/2009 | 8:16 am

It works with apache 2.2 with no problem, just be sure to turn on extended status and use good url. Try it i.e. with links

Papak | 16/6/2009 | 10:43 am

We have the same problem as DOCENTA. Yes we using Apache 2 and yes URL in browser is working fine.
