How to Install Apachetop on CentOS 7

To install apachetop on CentOS 7, you can follow these steps:

 

1. Enable the Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux (EPEL) repository, which provides additional packages:

sudo yum install epel-release

 

2. Install apachetop using the yum package manager:

sudo yum install apachetop

 

3. Once the installation is complete, you can run apachetop to monitor Apache web server traffic:

sudo apachetop

This will launch the apachetop tool, which displays real-time information about the Apache requests, hits, and traffic.
Note: By default, apachetop reads the Apache log file at /var/log/httpd/access_log. If your Apache log file is located elsewhere, you can specify it using the -f option:

 

4. To exit apachetop, simply press q on your keyboard.

sudo apachetop -f /path/to/access_log

 

By following these steps, you should have apachetop installed and ready to monitor Apache web server traffic on your CentOS 7 system.
