httpdmon is a command-line utility based on PHP that monitors and prints information parsed from multiple Apache logfiles in (almost) realtime.

This software has been tested and guaranteed to work on PHP 5.3+ on a Linux (CentOS) system. In the future, a Windows version might be available.

Note that for the console colors to work on Windows, ansicon is required.

Important: The default logfile paths might not be the same on your system, in which case edit the script file accordingly.

You can use the following shell-script to install/update this script:

sudo su
F=/usr/bin/httpdmon
B=https://raw.github.com/uuf6429/httpdmon/master/
rm -f $F
rm -rf ${F}.d
wget -O $F ${B}build/httpdmon.php
echo '#!/usr/bin/php -q'|cat - $F > /tmp/out && mv -f /tmp/out $F
chmod +x $F

To download access/error log definitions, run the following command for the desired file (replace $NAME with the definition file name):

mkdir -p ${F}.d
D=$NAME
wget -O ${F}.d/$D ${B}httpdmon.d/$D

After running the above commands, you can launch the utility any time just by typing httpdmon on the command line.
