Default Parameters for ApacheNSStatTest

This test reveals critical performance and uptime statistics pertaining to an Apache web server. This test, upon execution, accesses a specific URL on the Apache server, which contains the required metrics. Using this test, administrators can figure out how well the processes are being procesed in the server, how many processes are currently idle, the processes that are in KEEPALIVE and Logging state etc. This way, this test helps administrators to identify processing bottlenecks, if any.

This page depicts the default parameters that need to be configured for the ApacheNSStatTest.

• The TEST PERIOD list box helps the user to decide how often this test needs to be executed.

• In the URL box, the URL to be accessed by this test for extracting the Apache web server's performance statistics, will be displayed by default. The URL is: http://{Apache web server host}:{Apache web server port}/server-status.

• Once the necessary values have been provided, clicking on the UPDATE button will register the changes made.

When changing default configurations of tests, the values with “$” indicate variables that will be replaced by the eG system according to the specific server being managed - for instance, $hostName is the host/nickname of the target host, $port is the port number of the server being monitored. E.g., for a server xyz:80, $hostName will be changed automatically by the eG manager to “xyz” and $port will be changed to “80” when configuring a test.
