IBM HTTP server status monitoring page

Now by enabling server-status on IBM HTTP Server, below details can be obtained :

• The CPU usage
• The total number of requests served since the server is up
• The total traffic size since the server is up
• Some average about the response time
• The number of requests currently running
• The number of idle threads
• And the list of the requests being processe

To enable the server status monitoring page, perform the following steps:

1. Edit the httpd.conf file, and remove the comment character (#) from the 

following lines in this file:

#LoadModule status_module, modules/ApacheModuleStatus.dll,

#  < Location/server-status >

#SetHandler server-status

# < /Location >

2. Save the changes, and restart IBM HTTP Server.

3. In a web browser, access URL :  http://hostname/server-status. 

Click Reload to update the status. Also , 

http://your_host/server-status?refresh=10 to refresh every 10 seconds
