Monitoring virtual host statistics

BMC PATROL for Internet Servers monitors the following server status parameters:

• • totalTraffic
  • totalAccess
  • connections
  • httpReqPerSec
  • kbytesPerSec
  • kbytesPerReq
  • upTime

  • CPUUtilization
    
    In addition to monitoring the server status, you can enable monitoring of individual virtual host statistics and total virtual host parameters under each server. For more information about the virtual host parameters, see INET_Web_Server_VHost and INET_Web_Server_VHost_Container.

    Note

    You can enable monitoring of virtual hosts for any Web server you add, but data would be collected and reported only for Apache based Web servers.

    
    
    BMC PATROL for Internet Servers supports versions 2.2.x and 2.4.x of Apache Web Servers for virtual host monitoring.

    Note

    The server status module of the Apache based Web server that you want to monitor must be enabled and should be accessible by PATROL Agent.
