| This plugin implements an HTTP interface to all Traffic Server statistics. The |
| metrics returned are in a JSON format, for easy processing. This plugin is now |
| part of the standard ATS build process, and should be available after install. |
| |
| To enable this plugin, add to the plugin.conf file: |
| |
| stats_over_http.so |
| |
| |
| After starting Traffic Server, the JSON metrics are now available on the |
| default URL: |
| |
| http://host:port/_stats |
| |
| |
| where host and port is the hostname/IP and port number of the server. You can |
| optionally modify the path to use, and this is highly recommended in a public |
| facing server. For example: |
| |
| stats_over_http.so 81c075bc0cca1435ea899ba4ad72766b |
| |
| |
| and the URL would then be e.g. |
| |
| https://host:port/81c075bc0cca1435ea899ba4ad72766b |
| |
| |
| |
| This is weak security at best, since the secret could possibly leak if you are |
| careless and send it over clear text. |
