Apache HTTP Server monitoring
Apache performance and understanding /server-status metrics

Understanding website performance and Apache uptime should begin with external monitoring, i.e. Zabbix, which allows you to discover problems from a user’s perspective. Such problems involve:
- Response timeout – no timely response from the server;
- HTTP errors instead of a response;
- Slow response – say, comparing to the last month’s average.
Javascript support in item preprocessing
With new preprocessing steps added to Zabbix in nearly every release, it became obvious that it’s impossible to predict every business case, so we had to come up with a universal solution. This, in turn, raised an important question – which embedded scripting language/engine to use.

Every monitoring system has to deal with three kinds of performance-related challenges.
Firstly, a good monitoring system must receive, process and record incoming data very quickly. Every microsecond counts here. This may not seem obvious from the start but when your system becomes large enough all the tiny fractions of seconds add up to become seconds if not minutes.
