Apache Mod_Status with all virtual servers

Hi,

How can i use apache mod_status to monitor ALL my virtual servers?

My goal is to see all open connections with clients / vhosts / requests and to be able to monitor for potentiel hacked sites.

Thanks in advance!

To be honest, I'm not sure if mod_status will help you find hacked sites unless you are monitoring the output 24/7. Other than that, there's no reason why it can't be setup for all domains in Virtualmin - but you would have to do it yourself, as Virtualmin has no built-in support for it.

The reason i ask your support is to be able to activate it for all domain and newly created domains without breaking things in my apache config file.

I dont know how to do it.

Can you help me with this, please? Where to put what?

Thanks

For existing sites, you would need to manually edit the Apache config.

What I would suggest is try this for just one of your domains at first, until it's working the way you want.

Try adding something like this into the VirtualHost config for a domain you'd like to test:

<Location "/server-status">
    SetHandler server-status
</Location>

Add it near the end of the VirtualHost config in the Apache configuration.

After adding it, restart Apache, and then access that domain by browsing to "http://yourdomain.com/server_status".

That mean i will need to add this manually to each virtual server?

There's now way to add it automaticaly or to have it applied to all domains by default?

There's a way we can have that added automatically to newly created domains (and once the above is working for you, I was going to explain how to do that).

But there isn't a simple way to do that for existing domains.

Hey,

I was doing some searchs for a workaround about a similar need and while i was reading this topic, i just noticed that it's me who started it.

Just to let you know that your suggestion is working. I've been able to link it to monit also. I will continue my tests to link it to many virtual servers and see how it's going. I'll update you.
