Apache server status with trends using loadrunner script

Apache server status can be found for the deployed application using the URL :

http://servername/server-status

The metrics such as CPU LOad,Busy and idle workers, Bytes per request and per second , Requests per second can be monitored instantaneously.

But, to capture as a graph/trend we can create using Loadrunner script and through enhancements.

Here are the steps

1. Create a script with server status URL .

2. Correlate and capture values of metrics using LR User data point

3. Run the script in controller/pc with at least 1 user.
