# Apache Input Plugin

This plugin collects performance information from [Apache HTTP Servers](https://httpd.apache.org) using the [`mod_status` module](https://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/mod/mod_status.html). Typically, this module is configured to expose a page at the `/server-status?auto` endpoint the server.

The [ExtendedStatus option](https://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/mod/core.html#extendedstatus) must be enabled in order to collect all available fields. For information about configuration of your server check the [module documentation](https://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/mod/mod_status.html).

**Introduced in:** Telegraf v1.8.0 **Tags:** server, web **OS support:** all

## Global configuration options

Plugins support additional global and plugin configuration settings for tasks such as modifying metrics, tags, and fields, creating aliases, and configuring plugin ordering. See [CONFIGURATION.md](/telegraf/v1/configuration/#plugins) for more details.

## Configuration

```toml
# Read Apache status information (mod_status)
[[inputs.apache]]
  ## An array of URLs to gather from, must be directed at the machine
  ## readable version of the mod_status page including the auto query string.
  ## Default is "http://localhost/server-status?auto".
  urls = ["http://localhost/server-status?auto"]

  ## Credentials for basic HTTP authentication.
  # username = "myuser"
  # password = "mypassword"

  ## Maximum time to receive response.
  # response_timeout = "5s"

  ## Optional TLS Config
  # tls_ca = "/etc/telegraf/ca.pem"
  # tls_cert = "/etc/telegraf/cert.pem"
  # tls_key = "/etc/telegraf/key.pem"
  ## Use TLS but skip chain & host verification
  # insecure_skip_verify = false
```

## Metrics

-   apache
    -   BusyWorkers (float)
    -   BytesPerReq (float)
    -   BytesPerSec (float)
    -   ConnsAsyncClosing (float)
    -   ConnsAsyncKeepAlive (float)
    -   ConnsAsyncWriting (float)
    -   ConnsTotal (float)
    -   CPUChildrenSystem (float)
    -   CPUChildrenUser (float)
    -   CPULoad (float)
    -   CPUSystem (float)
    -   CPUUser (float)
    -   IdleWorkers (float)
    -   Load1 (float)
    -   Load5 (float)
    -   Load15 (float)
    -   ParentServerConfigGeneration (float)
    -   ParentServerMPMGeneration (float)
    -   ReqPerSec (float)
    -   ServerUptimeSeconds (float)
    -   TotalAccesses (float)
    -   TotalkBytes (float)
    -   Uptime (float)

The following fields are collected from the `Scoreboard`, and represent the number of requests in the given state:

-   apache
    -   scboard\_closing (float)
    -   scboard\_dnslookup (float)
    -   scboard\_finishing (float)
    -   scboard\_idle\_cleanup (float)
    -   scboard\_keepalive (float)
    -   scboard\_logging (float)
    -   scboard\_open (float)
    -   scboard\_reading (float)
    -   scboard\_sending (float)
    -   scboard\_starting (float)
    -   scboard\_waiting (float)

## Tags

-   All measurements have the following tags:
    -   port
    -   server
