DESCRIPTION

This module parses the content of apache's server-status and countes the current status by each process. It works nicely with apache versions 1.3 and 2.x.

METHODS

new()

Call new() to create a new server status object.

get()

Call get() to get the parsed server status. This method returns a hash reference with the counted status. There are diffenrent keys that contains the following counts:

r    Requests currenty being processed

p    Parents
_    Waiting for Connection
S    Starting up
R    Reading Request
W    Sending Reply
K    Keepalive (read)
D    DNS Lookup
C    Closing connection
L    Logging
G    Gracefully finishing
I    Idle cleanup of worker
.    Open slot with no current process

errstr()

errstr() contains the error string if the requests fails.

OPTIONS

You have to set all options by the call of get().

There are only two options: request and timeout.

Set request with the complete uri like http://localhost/server-status. There is only http supported, not https or other protocols.

Set timeout to define the time in seconds to abort the request if there is no response. The default is set to 180 secondes if the options isn't set.
