Apache server-status Monitoring / why is it only available through
http?
Hello,
is there any reason why the srever-status output isn't:
- available through a local unix socket - so you can grab it even all
workers are busy
- available in a machine readable format even it might be csv...
Thanks!
Greets,
Stefan

might this be something - where mod_systemd can be extended? I have
never used it but it already seems to provide some stats.

Both sounds like really ugly hacks. ScoreBoardFile isn't recommanded for
performance reasons (see httpd docs).
mod_backdoor does not even survive a restart (i didn't test but there is
a note in the README).
So both ways do not seem to be really usable.

There are some slightly weird third-party and partial solutions for this
- mod_backdoor (additional listener w/ dedicated thread for
emergencies, not AF_UNIX though)
- scripts that separately parse an on-disk "ScoreBoardFile"
Maybe mod_backdoor with a new name + limitations addressed + more
eyeballs would be worth looking at for adding to the distribution.

There is a machine-readable option in the query string, append ?auto
to the URL.

Also worth mentioning but I don't really know anything about it is
