Hi all,

I need to find a way to get the throughput of each virtualhost.

Any ideas?

Benny

Hi,  
Thanks for the quick reply.  
I do not need a benchmarking tool.  
I need to see my virtualhosts online throughput.

Hey Cliff, just to say thanks for that tip - apachetop seems excellent

Cheers

“Online throughput” isn’t exactly a precise technical term, but since  
you’ve eliminated benchmarking, I’ll take a stab and suggest you are  
looking for stats:

Clearly you can’t easily run the CGI version, but you should be able to  
use the CLI one without problem (output is static HTML).

If you want something that’s (nearly) real-time, rather than cumulative,  
you might see if apachetop fits the bill

Even though it’s meant for Apache, if your Nginx logs are configured to  
mimic Apache’s then it should probably work.
