NAME

6       apachetop - display real-time web server statistics
7

SYNOPSIS

9       apachetop  [-f  filename]  [-H  hits | -T time] [-q] [-l] [-s segments]
10       [-p] [-r secs]
11

DESCRIPTION

13       ApacheTop watches a logfile generated by Apache (in standard common  or
14       combined logformat, and generates human-parsable output in realtime.
15
16       -f logfile
17              Select  which file to watch.  Specify this option multiple times
18              to watch multiple files.
19
20       -H hits | -T time
21              These options are mutually exclusive. Specify only one,  if  any
22              at  all.  They  work  as follows. ApacheTop maintains a table of
23              information internally containing all the  relevant  information
24              about  the hits it's seen. This table can only be a finite size,
25              so you need to decide how big it's going to  be.  You  have  two
26              options.   You  can  either: Use -H to say "remember <this many>
27              hits" or   Use -T to say "remember all hits in <this many>  sec‐
28              onds"  The  default  (at  the moment) is to remember hits for 30
29              seconds.  Setting this too large (whichever option  you  choose)
30              will  cause  ApacheTop  to use more memory and more CPU time. My
31              experimentation finds that remembering no more than around  5000
32              requests works well.
33
34       -q     Instructs ApacheTop to keep the querystrings, not remove them.
35
36       -l     Instructs  ApacheTop  to  lowercase all URLs, thus /FOO and /foo
37              are treated as the same and accumulate the same statistics.
38
39       -s segments
40              Instructs ApacheTop to only keep the first <segments>  parts  of
41              the  path.  Trailing slashes are kept if present. Statistics are
42              then merged for each truncated url.
43
44       -p     Instructs ApacheTop to keep the protocol  (http://  usually)  at
45              the  front  of  its'  referrer  strings.  Normal behaviour is to
46              remove them to give more room to more useful information.
47
48       -r secs
49              Set default refresh delay, in seconds.
