Hi,

I've been trying to get the 'calltime' metrics for my apache web server's virtual host. I understand from your documentation that we need the RT module for apache to be available for this to work. I also found that it was not included in the community edition w.r.t some licensing issue with Apache. So, when I started searching I found this interested article which claimed that the RT module and SNMP module from Hyperic can also be used for integrating with RHQ.

http://community.jboss.org/wiki/MonitoringApacheUsingSNMP

I got the SNMP thing working, but the RT module wouldn't compile. However, when I skimmed through the server logs I found the class which is gathering metrics by parsing the RT log file

http://grepcode.com/file/repository.jboss.org/nexus/content/repositories/rel...

I went through and found that it is only concerned about the format in which we log in the given log file ( specified through the configuration settings ) and nothing more. So, i tried modifying the standard apache LogFormat directive to suit the format that RT log supports and checked if it works or not. As expected, nothing happened. I must be missing something here. Can anyone leave some clues on how to debug that ?

I've changed the log4j configuration at the agent to DEBUG, expecting to see some output, but it didn't reveal anything useful yet. I'm still looking into this though..

Thanks in advance, Sarat kumar.
