Instructions based on Ubuntu/Debian

Enable the Status module

a2enmod status

To allow the Zabbix server to get the data, change the file /etc/apache2/mods-available/status.conf And add the line Require ip <zabbix.server.ip.address>

<IfModule mod_status.c>

  <Location /server-status>
    SetHandler server-status
    Require local
    Require ip 127.0.0.1 ::1 10.10.10.10
  </Location>

  ExtendedStatus On

</IfModule>

Restart the Apache Web Server or reload the configuration

apache2ctl graceful

Copy the script zbxApacheStatusCheck to your Zabbix server or some other machine and change the permission to enable execution chmod +x zbxApacheStatusCheck

You have to set a cron job to periodically collect statistics and send it to your Zabbix server

# it will run every minute

# The parameter --zabbixsource define the name of the host on your Zabbix
* * * * * /etc/zabbix/scripts/zbxApacheStatusCheck --host=10.20.1.231 --zabbixsource="My Web Server 1" --zabbixserver=10.20.1.250

# Password with special character has to be escaped 
# Password = %P@$$0rd?
* * * * * * /etc/zabbix/scripts/zbxApacheStatusCheck --host=10.20.1.232 --zabbixsource="My Web Server 2" --zabbixserver=10.20.1.250 --user=test123 --passwd='%P@\$\$0rd?'

In case of problems, try running ./zbxApacheStatusCheck -d or ./zbxApacheStatusCheck --help
