Hi Matthias,
thank you for adding this. Will try it again when it was merged but it
looks like the tests I did today, so it should work.
Best,
Peer

*Third try - fixed typo in patch line*
- "-Np1" should have been "-Np2".
Without the quotes, of course.
Sorry...its too warm and the observium-lfs has a different path variable
(DIR_APP) than others. I put both files in attachments.

Hello,
Hi,
there is also another patch required to make the module working. But I
just can't find the file in the repository that needs to be changed:
You won't find this file in the repository - that would be too easy. ;-)
This 'apache'-file is stored in the observium archive
(observium/scripts/agent-local/apache). And only there. It is extracted
during the build phase, and is then immediately deleted. This is
controlled via the lfs file:
Line 83 (to be sure: first delete and then unpack source):
...
@rm -rf $(DIR_APP) && cd $(DIR_SRC) && tar axf $(DIR_DL)/$(DL_FILE)
...
Line 103 (clean up):
...
@rm -rf $(DIR_APP)
...
IMHO the best way to apply your changes would be a patchfile (see
attachment) which needs to be copied into the repository in the
directory '/src/patches/observium', e.g.).
Then the lfs file needs something like this in a new line *84*:
...
cd $(DIR_APP) && patch -Np2 <
$(DIR_SRC)/src/patches/observium/[NAME_OF_PATCHFILE]
...

Line 29 of /usr/lib/observium_agent/scripts-available/apache has to be
changed to:
close INFILE;
} else {
# grab the status URL (fresh data)
@data = split /(\n)/, LWP::Simple::get(
'http://localhost:81/server-status?auto' )
or die "Data fetch failure.\n";
# write file
The *localhost* has to be changed to *localhost:81*
The concerned bug that should be fixed through those three patches is:

Redirect requests to Apache's status to it's backend, force local requests.
This is required to allow Observium's agent to pull metrics from Apache.
