[users@httpd] Monitoring httpd server performance

[H <ag...@meddatainc.com>]

Some of you may have read or participated in solving the issue I had setting up a CentOS 7 server to serve php apps requiring different php versions. This is now working.

The next step is to monitor the web server, ie apache, with respect to various load measurements, also access by various IP addresses etc. etc.

I know there are a variety of apps to do so but would like to solicit recommendations/suggestions.

Munin does a good job for me, so far as monitoring and graphing HTTPD
accesses/unit time, traffic volume, the process pool, load times, etc.
It can also keep tabs on the utilization of hardware and a lot of other
stuff.

Nagios is good at watching for potential problems and messaging me as
needed.

For traffic analysis I usually just use Analog, and old one but good
enough for my modest needs.

Monit is useful for detecting hung or crashed services and restarting
them.
