3. Checks and reports if the webserver instrumentation is active

4. Reads the current webserver statistics

The statscom tool performs the following series of operations when run through the command

line:

1. Finds all httpd processes owned by the specified iTP Secure Webserver PATHMON/ DOMAIN

2. Opens all httpd processes

3. Depending on the action requested, sends a specific request message to all httpd processes

and when required, the statistics are returned and submitted in the form of Comma Separated

Values (CSV), which can be viewed using Microsoft Excel

The timestat script in iTP Secure WebServer's conf directory can be used to collect webserver

statistics with a single command.

Using the statscom Command

Following are the various command-line options that can be performed using statscom ($PATHMON

is the PATHMON name for webserver, %DOMAIN is the DOMAIN of iTP WebServer running in the

online-upgrade mode).

Sample Commands for Statistics Collection When WebServer is Running Under a Single Pathmon

• statscom -start \$PATHMON [config-file][-location

<DIRECTORY-PATH>][-name <HTTPD-PROCESS-NAME>]

This command starts the statistics collection process for all the httpd processes under PATHMON

$PATHMON.

For example:

./statscom -start \$SWEB

./statscom -start \$SWEB [config-file]][-location

<DIRECTORY-PATH>]\[-name <HTTPD-PROCESS-NAME>]

where config-file is the user-specified configuration file.

• statscom -status $PATHMON [config-file]

This command returns the current instrumentation status. A message is displayed indicating

whether instrumentation for all httpd processes are PATHMON $PATHMON is active or not.

For example:

./statscom -status \$SWEB

./ statscom -status \$SWEB [config-file][-location

<DIRECTORY-PATH>][-name <HTTPD-PROCESS-NAME>]

where config-file is the user-specified configuration file.

• statscom -submit $PATHMON [config-file]

This command stores the httpd statistics in the statistics.csv file under the logs directory

of the webserver.

For example:

./statscom -submit \$SWEB

This command collects complete statistics for all httpd processes in PATHMON $PATHMON.

./statscom -submit \$SWEB [config-file][-location

<DIRECTORY-PATH>][-name <HTTPD-PROCESS-NAME>]
