IBM HTTP Server Response Time module

Edit online

The IBM HTTP Server Response Time module is a part of the HTTP Server agent. But it works in conjunction with the Response Time Monitoring agent to monitor application transactions on supported HTTP servers.

When you install the Response Time Monitoring agent to work with IBM HTTP Server Response Time module, it monitors all ports for HTTP and HTTPS requests.

The IBM HTTP Server Response Time module is a part of the HTTP Server agent. You must install the HTTP Server agent either before the Response Time Monitoring agent or else install at the same time.

The HTTP Server agent, is composed of two plug-ins:

khu_module - this is the HTTP Server agent. This plug-in is responsible for all the dashboards associated with the HTTP Server agent. For more information, see the HTTP Server agent Reference.
wrt_module - this is the IBM HTTP Server Response Time module.

These two plug-ins are indicated in the HTTP Server agent configuration file. The HTTP Server agent configuration file is as follows for Apache HTTP Server:

khu.usr.local.apache24.conf.httpd.conf

The file is as follows for IBM HTTP Server:

khu.opt.IBM.HTTPServer.conf.httpd.conf

The naming rule of this file is: khu.(full path of the http server conf file, change the / to .).conf

LoadModule khu_module

LoadModule wrt_module

For the IBM HTTP Server Response Time module to work, the HTTP server configuration file must have an include statement referencing the HTTP Server agent configuration file. For example:

include /opt/ibm/apm/agent/tmp/khu/khu.opt.IBM.HTTPServer.conf.httpd.conf

This include statement, enables both plugins at the same time. For more information, see Configuring HTTP Server monitoring.
