Apache Template Config

The Apache webserver template collects server statistics over HTTP using Apache's mod_status module. These examples configure local access to the machine-readable /server-status?auto endpoint. See the Apache mod_status documentation for the available statistics.

CentOS/RedHat Specific Configuration

For Centos/Redhat implementations the config will look as follows

Place the below config in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

LoadModule status_module modules/mod_status.so
ExtendedStatus On

<Location /server-status>
    SetHandler server-status
    Require local
</Location>

Debian Specific Configuration

Configure the Apache status module:

Place the below config into a new file (eg, 80-server-status.conf) within /etc/apache2/conf-available

ExtendedStatus On

<Location /server-status>
    SetHandler server-status
    Require local
</Location>

Run the following commands with administrator privileges to enable the module and configuration. Check the syntax, then restart Apache only if the check succeeds:

a2enmod status
a2enconf 80-server-status
apache2ctl configtest && systemctl restart apache2

Note: This configuration restricts the /server-status url to local access only via the Require local directive
