Announcing the release of Mod_Telemetry

I’m releasing my apache module which has been extremely helpful to me in performance tracking, and large site analysis.

mod_telemetry keeps track of all URLs on your site and how long it takes your server to deliver each request. It reports these by using a status handler (like Apache’s /server-status) to display real-time status information about the performance of your site.

It is extremely useful in optimizing back-end processes (for example, when connecting to Java, FastCGI, or Ruby back-ends) to identify when specific pages are performing slowly.

Because it runs in the server, it’s able to show end-to-end performance on each request

It requires that mod_status be enabled to work.

An initial version of this code is available on google code. Please help me debug and expand it’s capabilities.

I recommend you checkout the SVN trunk and not download the tar. It works with Apache 2.x and 2.2.x.
