Apache Management Support

The Apache HTTP Server from the Apache Software Foundation is the most widely-used HTTP server on the Internet, powering over two-thirds of all webservers worldwide. Hyperic's engineering team includes some of the original developers of the Apache HTTP server who have used their extensive knowledge of Apache internals to develop the most secure, powerful, and uninvasive Apache monitoring and management solution available.

HQ's Apache plugin offers auto-discovery and monitoring of any Apache installation on a host, as well as dynamic discovery of all Virtual Hosts defined in the server's configuration. The monitoring capabilities are performed via a SNMP module which is included in the HQ distribution and allows the HQ agent to collect server and vhost metrics through the localhost interface of the machine. In addition, HQ includes a response time tracking module which reports on real request level response time statistics for the server as well as each vhost.

HQ's control capability can perform a variety of on demand or scheduled control actions on the Apache server process. These control operations range from normal start and stop actions to more specialized tasks such as warm restarts, ssl-start and configuration tests.
