NAME

       apachetop - display real-time web server statistics

SYNOPSIS

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

DESCRIPTION

       ApacheTop  watches a logfile generated by Apache (in standard common or combined logformat, and generates
       human-parsable output in realtime.

.OPTIONS

       -f logfile
              Select which file to watch.  Specify this option multiple times to watch multiple files.

       -H hits | -T time
              These options are mutually exclusive. Specify only one, if any  at  all.  They  work  as  follows.
              ApacheTop  maintains  a  table  of  information internally containing all the relevant information
              about the hits it's seen. This table can only be a finite size, so you need to decide how big it's
              going to be. You have two options.  You can either: Use -H to  say  "remember  <this  many>  hits"
              or   Use  -T  to  say "remember all hits in <this many> seconds" The default (at the moment) is to
              remember hits for 30 seconds.  Setting this too large (whichever option  you  choose)  will  cause
              ApacheTop  to use more memory and more CPU time. My experimentation finds that remembering no more
              than around 5000 requests works well.

       -q     Instructs ApacheTop to keep the querystrings, not remove them.

       -l     Instructs ApacheTop to lowercase all URLs, thus  /FOO  and  /foo  are  treated  as  the  same  and
              accumulate the same statistics.

       -s segments
              Instructs ApacheTop to only keep the first <segments> parts of the path. Trailing slashes are kept
              if present. Statistics are then merged for each truncated url.

       -p     Instructs  ApacheTop to keep the protocol (http:// usually) at the front of its' referrer strings.
              Normal behaviour is to remove them to give more room to more useful information.

       -r secs
              Set default refresh delay, in seconds.

EXAMPLES

       apachetop -f /var/logs/httpd/access.log
