Usually the access_log and error_log will show network http traffic for the Apache web server. If you still do not see any data, then go your web server logs dir and verify you are seeing traffic in here first. Adjust to your own settings or use the -n argument to send only certain number of http requests if you want traffic to be limited.)Īfter you send http traffic to your monitored web server, you will see data show up on the APM console for the HTTP agent in few minutes. (You can fine tune the time interval -i from 10 seconds to say 300 seconds (5 minutes) or higher so as to not stress the network.
#CONTINUOUS PING TOOL INSTALL#
If you wish, install the utility on your test system and run it like this:įor example, in the screenshot below, am sending http requests every 10 seconds to my monitored server 9.37.226.102 on port 80 until Ctrl-C is used to stop the traffic. The Ping graph tool can provide results in ribbon, bar, column, step, or area charts. Ping software monitoring data can be exported via text files, while graphs and images can be exported via image files. Choose the device you want to continuously monitor for response time. You can download and use at your own risk.) I've used it on my test system with no issues so far. Ping software continuously monitors device response time.

Once you have generated a good amount of http traffic on your monitored web server, you will see data show up on the APM console for the HTTP agent. This can be useful if you don't have continuous adequate load on your web server and need to generate continuous, quick http traffic. There is a handy free utility I use called http-ping that can generate continuous or discrete http traffic in a background script. When you install the HTTP "HU" agent to monitor your Web Server, you will not see any data on your APM console until you load/send some valid web/http traffic on port 80 to your monitored web server.
