Announcement mod_arm4 1.0 for Apache HTTP Server

mod_arm4 version 1.0

mod_arm4 is an Apache HTTP Server 2.x module for instrumenting the server with the Application Response Measurement (ARM) standard. With this module it is possible to measure each HTTP request made to a Apache HTTP Server using ARM. This module only interfaces to the ARM 4.0 C interface and therefore you need a real ARM 4.0 compliant agent (e.g. MyARM) to really measure HTTP requests.

Features

The mod_arm4 module found at the Apache web-site works but is not really customisable and also not implemented for a production server. We at MyARM improved the module regarding performance, better ARM instrumentation and added various configuration directives to selectively measure HTTP requests. The following lists the main features of the mod_arm4 module:

• Load the ARM library dynamically
• Measurement of requests only if a correlator was passed by a client.
• Explicitly allow or deny measurement of requests by URI patterns.
• Support of ARM context properties (Various HTTP Request information).
• Support of ARM metrics (BytesSent, HTTP Status).
