ABOUT

The default apache status shows you information about current Apache activity. But these server-status pages are difficult to read.

The pimped Apache status makes the Apache server status readable, sortable and searchable. The pimped Apache status can merge the status of several servers that opens the possibility to identify the troubleshooter in a load balanced website much more easily. Btw: I use the script to fetch the status from 20+ servers.

The output uses jQuery and the plugin datatable to search and sort the data.

UPGRADE from version 1.x

A new local version will be detected in the webbrowser. Follow the upgrade link or open directly http://localhost/apachestatus/upgrade.php
