Apache Module mod_heartmonitor

Available Languages:  en  |  fr 

Description:Centralized monitor for mod_heartbeat origin servers
Status:Experimental
Module Identifier:heartmonitor_module
Source File:mod_heartmonitor.c
Compatibility:Available in Apache 2.3 and later

Summary

mod_heartmonitor listens for server status messages generated by mod_heartbeat enabled origin servers and makes their status available to mod_lbmethod_heartbeat. This allows ProxyPass to use the "heartbeat" lbmethod inside of ProxyPass.

This module uses the services of mod_slotmem_shm when available instead of flat-file storage. No configuration is required to use mod_slotmem_shm.

To use mod_heartmonitor, mod_status and mod_watchdog must be either a static modules or, if a dynamic module, it must be loaded before mod_heartmonitor.
Support Apache!
