Enable ExtendedStatus for mod_status by default (was: munin apache plugin no data)

[monocult]

Binary package hint: munin

The apache plugin returns no data. If I try "munin-run apache_accesses" it returns
"accesses80.value U".

same in "apache_processes", "apache_volume".

My system is the Hardy Sparc Port.

Dit you try this:
cd /etc/munin/plugins/
munin-run apache_accesses auto

and

w3m http://127.0.0.1/server-status?auto

You probably need something like this in your apache2.conf:
<IfModule mod_status.c>
    ExtendedStatus On
    <Location /server-status>
        SetHandler server-status
        Order deny,allow
        Deny from all
        Allow from 127.0.0.1
    </Location>
</IfModule>

I've made a "localhost" virtual host that serves munin with data:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    # vim:syntax=apache
    ServerAdmin root@localhost
    ServerName localhost
    ServerAlias 127.0.0.1

    DocumentRoot /srv/http/localhost/

    <Location /server-status>
        SetHandler server-status
    </Location>

    <Location />
        Order Deny,Allow
        Deny from all
        Allow from 127.0.0.1
        Allow from ::1
    </Location>

    # Logging
    ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/localhost.error.log
    LogLevel warn
    CustomLog /var/log/apache2/localhost.access.log combined
</VirtualHost>

Copy into /etc/apache2/sites-available/localhost.conf, then run a2ensite localhost.conf and /etc/init.d/apache2 reload

This looks more like a configuration problem then a bug.

This still happens on Lucid, but there's a less complicated fix for this. The status moule is normally enabled with `a2enmod status`. All that seems to be required to fix munin after that is to add 'ExtendedStatus On' to /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/status.conf so it looks like this:

<IfModule mod_status.c>
#
# Allow server status reports generated by mod_status,
# with the URL of http://servername/server-status
# Uncomment and change the ".example.com" to allow
# access from other hosts.
#
ExtendedStatus On
<Location /server-status>
    SetHandler server-status
    Order deny,allow
    Deny from all
    Allow from localhost ip6-localhost
# Allow from .example.com
</Location>

</IfModule>

After doing that both the apache_accesses and apache_volume plugins started working for me.

Couldn't we add "ExtendedStatus On" to the default configuration via /etc/apache2/mods-available/status.conf ?

[Stefan Fritsch (sf-sfritsch)]

This has been done in 2.2.15-4

Thank you for the information, Stefan.
Marking as Fix Released then.
