Re: Tool to analyze and minimize loaded modules.

2017-05-18 Thread Mike Rumph 

Hello Christian,

Excellent.  This looks very useful.
And yes.  On second thought, this topic may be more suitable for the 
user mailing list.

There are maybe many Apache users who could benefit from this.
I started it on dev because I was considering developing something on 
this if there wasn't already.

Please, feel free to present this on the user mailing list.

Thanks,

Mike

Hello Mike,

This is probably more a user-ML related question, but I have a little
script to do this in the 2nd of my Apache/ModSecurity tutorials at
https://www.netnea.com/cms/apache-tutorial-2_minimal-apache-configuration/
-> Step 9

Cheers,

Hello all,

I was wondering is there is any tool available that can analyze the
directives in an httpd instance's configuration files and determine which
loaded module are not being used.
If not, maybe such a tool could be quite useful for reducing the memory
footprint.

Thanks,

Mike Rumph

Does that differ from "CacheQuickHandler OFF"?

Thanks for the list.

One remark inline ...

Based on feedback from various sessions:

  o A new-kind of "hot standby" in mod_proxy which kicks
in whenever a worker moves out of the pool (ie, doesn't
wait until all workers are out)... ala a redundant
hard drive.


Maybe "spare worker" (and we could have more than one such spares).


  o Look into AAA and mod_cache; eg: "bolt in at the end"

  o HTTP/2 no longer experimental!

  o balancer-manager more scriptable (move to REST for realz?)

  o When restarting w/ persistent balancer data, warn if
config files mtime is newer.

  o Warn if the trailing '/'s don't match in ProxyPass/Reverse
directives (eg: ProxyPass /foo http://www.example.com/foo/ )

All I can recall at present...
