Integrating with Apache
WLM can help you manage and prioritize Apache-based workloads
through the use of the WLM Apache Toolkit (ApacheTK), which is part of
the freely available product WLM Toolkits (WLMTK). WLM can be used
with Apache processes, Tomcat, CGI scripts, and related tools using the
HP-UX Apache-based Web Server.
Why use ApacheTK?
Assume your enterprise (or corporate) applications use Apache as a front
end to dispatch work to workloads running Java software, CGI scripts,
and other such processes. You can then use WLM and ApacheTK to
manage these processes in a manner that reflects the business priorities
they support.
Tools in ApacheTK
ApacheTK includes a white paper and example configuration files that
demonstrate resource separation of Apache-based workloads. It also
includes the simple data collector time_url_fetch, which uses the
Apache benchmark tool ab to time URL response times. Also, ApacheTK
provides the script wlm_watch.cgi, which provides a web-based view of
the standard prmmonitor, prmlist, and other WLM and PRM
command-line tools. These are view-only reports—no modifications are
allowed from the CGI script.
