The Apache HTTP server’s combination of open source flexibility, stability, feature-rich capabilities, and broad platform and OS support have led it to become one of the most widely deployed servers. Today, the Apache server has a market share of around 50%.
Given the product’s widespread market acceptance, Apache servers are increasingly being relied upon in more business critical sites, and in larger, distributed enterprise environments. In an effort to maintain proactive control over their distributed network of servers, enterprise IT administrators have had to resort to manual health checks and SNMP queries to spot potential performance and availability issues.
These ad hoc efforts have proven to be inefficient, time-consuming, and ineffective. How can IT organizations streamline administration, while gaining more effective control over Apache HTTP servers’ performance and availability?
CyBerJaz ProGuard Advanced Monitoring for Apache enables organizations to centrally and comprehensively monitor all their Apache-based HTTP servers. The quality of service data provided by ProGuard makes it possible to detect performance trends, enabling administrators to take precautionary actions before users notice any service degradation, and therefore, more effectively optimize performance and availability.
Utilizing the server status module that comes integrated with the Apache server enables the gathering of a wealth of availability and performance metrics—without requiring any agents or other software to be added to the Web server host.
CyBerJaz ProGuard offers an array of features specifically designed to make it easy to configure and manage the monitoring of large, distributed Apache environments. Featuring support for all operating systems and versions of the Apache server software, you can automatically discover the Apache installation on a host machine, as well as all virtual hosts. Once resources are discovered, you gain immediate access to the required availability and performance metrics through an intuitive tree view.
