PRODUCT OVERVIEW

Open source web server? It's probably Apache

Are your Apache web servers running properly? Is your organization’s website or online store available and accessible? Are your internal and external communications reliable?

If you don’t monitor all the Apache modules running on your network, there’s no way you’ll be able to answer these questions. Given how important Apache web servers are to your organization’s continued success – almost 25% of the world’s web-facing computers run on them – can you afford to remain in the dark?

PRTG’s preconfigured Apache sensors keep a close eye on access logs, configuration files, latency, CPU usage, and other key Apache metrics in real time. They even track the number of idle workers, the number of busy workers , and the number of requests.

More to the point, they monitor your chosen performance metrics round the clock, 365 days a year. Which means performance or security issues will never fall through the cracks.

4 reasons why to choose PRTG as your Apache Monitoring tool

icon setup

Simple setup

Set up your monitoring environment in minutes and keep a close eye on Apache web services, without constant manual intervention. PRTG monitors critical metrics in real time, alerts you if there's a risk performance thresholds will get breached, and aggregates your data in custom dashboards for one-click reporting.

icon boost

Increased efficiency

It's not how many resources you have at your disposal. It's how you use them that will make a difference. PRTG builds a complete picture of your network's footprint and highlights bottlenecks and other issues, so you can maximize performance without throwing more money at the problem.

icon search

Proactive issue detection

Don't let potential problems go unnoticed. PRTG's built-in alarm system emails, texts, or sends you an in-app notification based on custom thresholds before a performance issue goes critical. Which means you can fix it before it disrupts your organization, impacts your customers’ user experience, or, worse, causes a blue screen of death.

icon protection

Stronger security

Safeguard your organization's (and customers') sensitive data. Alongside performance, PRTG monitors your entire network's security – application performance, firewalls, config and log files, gateways, APIs, and more – enabling you to proactively close security loopholes and prevent malicious login attempts.

What Apache monitoring looks like in PRTG

Diagnose network issues by continuously tracking the availability and performance of Apache web servers and other HTTP web services. Show response times, uptime, CPU load, bandwidth utilization, and other key metrics in real time. Visualize monitoring data in clear graphs and dashboards to identify problems more easily. Gain the overview you need to troubleshoot bandwidth bottlenecks, slow connectivity, and other network issues.

HTTP Transaction

The HTTP Transaction sensor monitors an interactive website, such as a web shop, by performing a transaction using a set of HTTP URLs. The sensor monitors whether logins or shopping carts work properly. It can show the following:

  • Maximum amount of data (in kilobytes) that the sensor transfers per request
  • Which user agent string the sensor sends when it connects to the target URL
  • If you want to allow cookies for the transaction
  • What PRTG does with the web page that is loaded at the URL

We always have an eye on the performance and availability of our IT and can react in time if any failures occur. On a long-term perspective, the monitoring data helps us with capacity planning so that we can deliver the required resources for our own systems as well as for our customers, without wasting money on unwarranted redundancies.”

Stein Erik Høybakk, Senior Network Engineer
TAFJORD

“All our production and business processes depend on SAP. But, of course, IT and production systems also play a crucial role in securing these processes. By incorporating SAP, production, and IT into one centralized monitoring system, we can quickly detect critical drops in performance and identify the causes of these issues. In fact, thanks to PRTG and itesys, this couldn’t be any easier.”

Andreas Schmidt, Senior Systems Engineer
Truma

“Any downtime could be detrimental to our customers. We also strive to provide the best possible service to our customers. PRTG allows us to see the health and performance of the network. Using these measurements we can make decisions on how to repair a piece of equipment before it fails and causes a service interruption.”

Apache Monitoring: FAQ

 

What are Apache web servers?

Apache HTTP servers are the most widely used open-source web servers in the world. An Apache HTTP server connects the physical server that hosts a company's website (or online store) with the Internet browser of a user. Strictly speaking, an Apache HTTP server is the Apache software running on a Windows, Linux, or Unix system. Apache HTTP servers are popular because they are open-source and cross-platform web servers.

In fact, Apache HTTP servers are default components of the IT infrastructures of countless companies around the world. This makes Apache monitoring all the more essential, as monitoring is the only way to ensure Apache systems are running properly at all times.

What is PRTG Apache monitoring?

PRTG is a proprietary software tool that can track the health and performance of Apache’s open source web servers and other services in real time, round the clock. Available for Windows-based on-premises servers or as a cloud-hosted solution, it's capable of monitoring unlimited local, remote, and virtual devices, bringing critical system data together in one simple, intuitive interface you can access from anywhere: at the office, at home, or on the go.

How does PRTG monitor Apache web server performance?

PRTG has preconfigured sensors that are specifically designed to integrate seamlessly with Apache web servers and other services and collect data about CPU usage, memory usage, latency, bandwidth, throughput, and other key Apache metrics. The data is gathered in a centralized dashboard alongside all your other hardware, software, virtualized environment, and environmental metrics, creating a golden source of truth for your entire network's health and performance.

How do I set up Apache performance monitoring in PRTG?

Once you download PRTG, the automatic network discovery does most of the work. Key in your preferred IP address range and it will detect every network component in that range – including Apache HTTP servers and other services – and assign the appropriate sensors. Once that's done, you can pick your preferred performance thresholds. Just make sure you set the right permissions for HTTP monitoring before you set up the sensors, or they won't be able to read the data.

What is a sensor in PRTG?

In PRTG, “sensors” are the basic monitoring elements. One sensor usually monitors one measured value in your network, for example the traffic of a switch port, the CPU load of a server, or the free space on a disk drive. On average, you need about 5-10 sensors per device or one sensor per switch port.

We asked: would you recommend PRTG? Over 95% of our customers say yes!

Paessler conducted trials in over 600 IT departments worldwide to tune its network monitoring software closer to the needs of sysadmins. The result of the survey: over 95% of the participants would recommend PRTG – or already have.
