Apache server view performance status with mod_status configuration

To view the performance status of an Apache server with the mod_status module configured, you can access the mod_status status page through a web browser. The mod_status status page provides information about the current status and performance of the Apache server, including the number of requests per second, the number of idle and busy worker processes, and the current server uptime.

To access the mod_status status page, you will need to know the URL of the page. The URL of the mod_status status page is usually in the form http://server-name/server-status, where server-name is the domain name or IP address of the server.

For example, if the Apache server is running on the localhost with the default mod_status configuration, you can access the mod_status status page by visiting the following URL in a web browser:

http://localhost/server-status

This will display the mod_status status page, which will look something like this:
