Can Apache track simultaneous connections?

[mickyjune26]

Can Apache log the number of simultaneous connections? We would like to track how close we are getting to our MaxClients limit.

You would have to turn on the ExtendedStatus within the webserver and cycle the webserver. Open your browser and go to your website and append "/server-status". The "." will represent the number of available Apache processes until you reach the "MaxClients" setting. Make sure to apply an acl to this as someone could figure out how many resources are available and DOS you. As well, this information shows client source ip and transaction being processed.
