Apache monitoring encompasses several specialized services, each targeting specific aspects of server performance:
- Apache Web Server
- Description: The primary component responsible for handling HTTP requests and serving web content.
- Request Handling
- Description: Manages the processing of incoming HTTP requests.
- Resource Management
- Description: Manages the allocation and usage of server resources such as CPU, memory, and disk.
- Logging and Monitoring
- Description: Handles the logging of server activities and monitoring of server performance.
- Multi-Processing Modules (MPMs)
- Description: Manages the configuration and performance of different MPMs like prefork, worker, and event.
Each service utilizes specific KPIs to measure its effectiveness:
- Requests per Second
- Description: Measures the number of requests handled by the server per second.
- Request Latency
- Description: Measures the time taken to process requests.
- HTTP Errors
- Description: Tracks the HTTP errors returned by the server.
- CPU Usage
- Description: Monitors the CPU utilization of the server.
- Memory Usage
- Description: Monitors the memory utilization of the server.
- Disk I/O and Usage
- Description: Monitors the disk read/write operations and disk space usage.
- Access Logs
- Description: Logs incoming requests to the server.
- Error Logs
- Description: Logs errors encountered by the server.
- Prefork MPM
- Description: Manages the configuration and performance of the prefork MPM.
- Worker MPM
- Description: Manages the configuration and performance of the worker MPM.
- Event MPM
- Description: Manages the configuration and performance of the event MPM.
Services are interconnected; for instance, Apache Web Server is dependent on Request Handling, Resource Management, and Logging and Monitoring. Similarly, Request Handling relies on Multi-Processing Modules (MPMs) and Request Metrics for efficient processing.
Some services form a hierarchy, such as Resource Management depending on CPU Usage, Memory Usage, and Disk I/O and Usage, illustrating a layered approach to performance monitoring where base metrics support broader performance indicators.
