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*. 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* for a password protected server-status page, or *apache=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/

It is in fact the hobbit host. I get no apache column or anything related....where did I make my mistake?
