Apache Statistics Module

Table of Contents

The statistics (or status) module provides an interface to view your server’s statistics.

Enabling statistics module #

In CirrusGrid statistics module is disabled by default. You can activate this module following the instruction:

  • Click Config button for your Apache server.
  • The required status_module is loaded by default, so navigate to the /etc/httpd/conf folder and open the httpd.conf file. Add the following code:
ExtendedStatus On  
<Location /statistics/>  
SetHandler server-status  
####### Security configuration ####################  
####### Basic auth config should follow here ######  
###################################################  
</Location>

apache statistics module 1Note: you can use any other context for your statistics location (in our case we have /statistics/).

  • Save the changes and restart Apache.
  • Click Open in browser. Add the location name to the link.
    http://{env_name}.{hoster_domain}/{location_name}/

In the opened window the statistics of the server will be shown.

Setting up security configuration #

  • Generate hash from your password. For that you can use any htpasswd tool or online service (for example, http://www.htpasswdgenerator.net/).
  • Create simple text file with previously generated hash.
  • Click Config button for your Apache server.
  • Upload the created file to the /var/www/webroot/ROOT folder.
  • In the /etc/httpd/conf folder open the httpd.conf file.

Instead of:

####### Security configuration ####################
####### Basic auth config should follow here ######
###################################################

Add the following code:

AuthName "Statistics area"
AuthType Basic
AuthBasicProvider file
AuthUserFile /var/www/webroot/ROOT/.htpasswd
Require valid-user

apache statistics module 2

    • Save the changes and restart Apache.
    • Click Open in browser. Add the location context to the link.

http://{env_name}.{hoster_domain}/{location_name}/

In the opened window you’ll be requested to log in with your credentials. Use the credentials you stated while generating the hash to see the statistics of the server.
