Description of problem: The Apache collectd plugin requires 1. Enable the mod_status module in your Apache server. 2. Add the following configuration to your Apache server: ExtendedStatus on <Location /mod_status> SetHandler server-status </Location> 3. Restart Apache. 4. Load the plugin and add the configuration to collectd.conf This requires the following parameters: Instance - The name of the server to be monitored URL - The location at which collectd can retrieve output of mod_status. Example: http://localhost:8080/mod_status?auto Required to append the "?auto". We need to add a way for the collectd.conf can consume this information.
We discussed it in the scrub and lowered severity.
Is this on track for 4.2? Please add specification of the feature, what is the benefits of this and how to properly verify. Thank you
Implementing this bz requires: 1. Configuring apache to load mod_status, probably by adding a file to /etc/httpd/conf.d. We usually do this during engine-setup. 2. I think we want to limit access to the mod_status page, so that it's available by default to local host only. 3. If we decide to do this in engine-setup, we have to make sure that the metrics conf script will only enable the collectd plugin after httpd was configured. Alternatively, the metrics conf script can do everything.
I think engine-setup would be a more proper way to load mod_status, since it requires the apache service restart. Yaniv, Do you agree?

What value do we get from collecting Apache data (over what we already have in ovirt-requests-log) ? I'm sure there are small items (Kerberos authentication? etc.), not sure it's worth the effort (over what we already can get from ovirt-requests-log)
Closing this base on Yaniv's comment #6. Will be fixed in Bug #1475897
