How can I monitor Apache and get information about users who are connected to Apache? There's a server in my office. I want to know how many people in the office are connected to the it, using my web application, and what their IPs are.

EDIT:
I need to know this information in real time.

  • There are a number of ways of solving this problem, but because HTTP is a stateless protocol its probably not easy. If you wrote the application, why not simply log the details to an SQL database and query that ?

You can configure the server-status module for realtime information

It sounds like you need a log analyzer.

The most commonly used one is Webalizer which examines your web server's log files, collates the data, and gives you a new set of web pages containing pretty graphs and charts of visitors and usage.

  • It parses the logs when you request it to parse the logs - be that once a day, once an hour, or repeatedly with no delay between passes. It all depends on how you set it up.

If its a Linux Apache server you can also try Apachetail which runs on a Windows desktop and parses/analyses the logs in real-time.

I would second jamespo's answer. You can configure the server-status module. We have been using the same to monitor Apache web-server in our product AppPerfect Agentless Monitor. We are able to monitor the data related to busy/idle workers, request rate, total accesses, traffic and CPU load.

    This really sounds more like a comment, especially as you are saying that you agree with another answer. You do not yet have the necessary reputation to post comments everywhere though. I recommend that you stick around, interact with SU in a positive way for a bit, and you'll quickly work up the necessary reputation to more fully interact with the site.
