thanks for the reply. I did exactly as in the example before I wrote the previous email and got nothing. That is why I was asking for help or further clarification.

PERFORMANCE MONITORING TESTS
apache[=URL]
If you are running an Apache webserver, adding this tag makes bbtest-net <http://192.168.0.103/hobbit/help/manpages/man1/bbtest-net.1.html> (1) collect performance statistics from the Apache webserver by querying the URL http://IP.ADDRESS.OF.HOST/server-status?auto <http://IP.ADDRESS.OF.HOST/server-status?auto> . The response is sent as a data-report and processed by the Hobbit hobbitd_larrd module into an RRD file and an "apache" graph. If your webserver requires e.g. authentication, or runs on a different URL for the server-status, you can provide the full URL needed to fetch the server-status page, e.g. apache=http://LOGIN:PASSWORD at 10.0.0.1/server-status?auto <http://LOGIN:PASSWORD at 10.0.0.1/server-status?auto> for a password protected server-status page, or apache=http://10.0.0.1:8080/apache/server-status?auto <http://10.0.0.1:8080/apache/server-status?auto> for a server listening on port 8080 and with a different path to the server-status page.
Note that you need to enable the server-status URL in your Apache configuration. The following configuration is needed:
<Location /server-status>
SetHandler server-status
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
allow from 127.0.0.1
</Location>
ExtendedStatus On Change "127.0.0.1" to the IP-address of the server that runs your network tests.

Please explain the apache performance tag further. I added the following to
my bb-hosts for a host running apache:
apache=http://192.168.1.25/hobbit/ <http://192.168.1.25/hobbit/>
It is in fact the hobbit host. I get no apache column or anything
related....where did I make my mistake?
