This page provides an overview of what you can do with the Apache HTTP integration. The documentation pages only for a limited number of integrations contain the setup steps and instructions. If you do not see the setup steps here, navigate to the Operations for Applications GUI. The detailed instructions for setting up and configuring all integrations, including the Apache HTTP integration are on the Setup tab of the integration.
- Log in to your Operations for Applications instance.
- Click Integrations on the toolbar, search for and click the Apache HTTP tile.
- Click the Setup tab and you will see the most recent and up-to-date instructions.
Apache HTTP Server Integration
The Apache HTTP Server is a popular open source web server. This integration installs and configures Telegraf to send Apache HTTP Server metrics to Tanzu Observability. Telegraf is a light-weight server process capable of collecting, processing, aggregating, and sending metrics to a Wavefront proxy.
In addition to setting up the metrics flow, this integration also sets up a dashboard.
