[PATCH 2/2] Redirect Apache status requests

[PATCH 2/2] Redirect Apache status requests

[Peer Dietzmann]

Redirect requests to Apache's status to it's backend, force local requests.
This is required to allow Observium's agent to pull metrics from Apache.

Best,
Peer

Re: [PATCH 2/2] Redirect Apache status requests

[Peer Dietzmann]

Hello,

there is also another patch required to make the module working. But I 
just can't find the file in the repository that needs to be changed:

Line 29 of /usr/lib/observium_agent/scripts-available/apache has to be 
changed to:

         close INFILE;
} else {
         # grab the status URL (fresh data)
         @data = split /(\n)/, LWP::Simple::get( 
'http://localhost:81/server-status?auto' )
                 or die "Data fetch failure.\n";

         # write file

The *localhost* has to be changed to *localhost:81*

The concerned bug that should be fixed through those three patches is: 
https://bugzilla.ipfire.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14017

Best,

Peer

You won't find this file in the repository - that would be too easy. ;-)

This 'apache'-file is stored in the observium archive
(observium/scripts/agent-local/apache). And only there. It is extracted
during the build phase, and is then immediately deleted. This is
controlled via the lfs file:

Line 83 (to be sure: first delete and then unpack source):
...
@rm -rf $(DIR_APP) && cd $(DIR_SRC) && tar axf $(DIR_DL)/$(DL_FILE)
...

Line 103 (clean up):
...
@rm -rf $(DIR_APP)
...

IMHO the best way to apply your changes would be a patchfile (see
attachment) which needs to be copied into the repository in the
directory '/src/patches/observium', e.g.).

Then the lfs file needs something like this in a new line *84*:
...
cd $(DIR_APP) && patch -Np1 <
$(DIR_SRC)/src/patches/observium/[NAME_OF_PATCHFILE]
...

*Third try - fixed typo in patch line*

- "-Np1" should have been "-Np2".

Without the quotes, of course.

Sorry...its too warm and the observium-lfs has a different path variable
(DIR_APP) than others. I put both files in attachments.

Hi Matthias,

thank you for adding this. Will try it again when it was merged but it 
looks like the tests I did today, so it should work.

Best,

Peer

Sorry, but this isn't clear to me - blame the weather... ;-)

This patch hasn't been pushed, he is NOT in patchwork or GIT.
Shall I push it or will you?

Or does your message mean that it is no longer needed?

now I'm a bit confused, both patches I sent, must be merged into the 
next release to make it work. The patch you provided also. If you know 
where this is done, please do it, all three are required. What I meant 
is, that when everything is in testing, then I will test it again to 
confirm that the changed files are shipped correctly.

Best,

Peer

Ok, sorry for the noise, but in fact it was me who was a bit confused.
As I wrote, its the weather to blame... ;-) I just wasn't sure if you'd
like to push the third patch yourself.

I'll prepare a patch and will send it in a few minutes, no problem.
