6.3. mod_status
Das Modul mod_status bietet einen Handler, der Informationen zur aktuellen Auslastung des Servers anbietet. Dieser kann über eine "Directory" oder "Location" Direktive  an eine URL gebunden und von außen abgefragt werden. Der Zugriff sollte aber immer eingeschränkt werden. Ein Beispiel für die Einbindung des Handlers:

<Location /server-status>
    SetHandler server-status
    Order deny,allow
    Deny from all
    Allow from localhost
</Location>

Mit Hilfe der Anweisung

     ExtendedStatus On

wird der Output noch umfangreicher:
