Apache log analyzer which manages time spent to serve the request

  • 772

I need to monitor performance in my web server (there's an application server in the back) and create reports for senior management.

I've enabled %T/%D in my Apache logs and I would like to know if there's an Apache log analyzer or some other tool which parses these values and manages them showing charts or reports.

I am looking mostly for an integrated solution and not in the line of awk+gnuplot scripts.

  1. Would this do anything good? apache-response-time

    apache-response-time is a performance analysis tool for the apache web server. It's primary focus is on script response time.

    One approach to improving web site performance is for a different developer to improve one of the slowest scripts everyday. apache-response-time is ideally suited for producing daily reports for this purpose. It will help you find long running, frequently accessed and large apache scripts.

  2. I need to monitor performance in my web server

    There's not a lot of stuff available for log analysis to measure performance - but it's been a couple of years since I looked very hard (currenlty using awk and jpgraph ;). PastMon can give lots of very useful data (but is difficult to configure - also uses packet sniffing rather than logs).

    However the elephant in the room here is that time taken for a webserver to offload a response has very little to do with page response times at the client. If you want to get a proper handle on the user experience then have a look at Boomerang + Graphite (this will also need a bit of work to configure).
