ApacheBeat

Current status: beta release.

Description

This is beat for Apache HTTPD server-status page. ApacheBeat polls Apache HTTPD server-status page every 'defined' period. You can poll more URL's at once and save your results to ElasticSearch. Each document in ElasticSearch consists of metrics gathered from server-status page and add url.host to see which URL answered. Each document in ElasticSearch is flat document with no nested objects.
