Understanding Apache Status
The Apache Status page displays a wealth of information about your server's performance. Here's a quick rundown of what you'll find:

- Server MPM: This displays the Multi-Processing Module (MPM) used by your Apache HTTP server.
- Current Time: This section displays the current system time on your server.
- Restart Time: This shows the last time your Apache HTTP server was restarted.
- Server Uptime: This displays the total time since the last restart of your Apache HTTP server.
- Total Accesses and Total Traffic: These sections show the total number of client requests the server has processed and the amount of data it has sent to clients, respectively.
- CPU Usage: This section displays the amount of CPU used by the server.
- Current Requests: This shows the number of requests currently being processed by your Apache server.
Important Note
The Apache Status tool is a powerful feature for managing and monitoring your server's performance. It allows you to gain insights into your server's operations and identify potential issues early on.

The Scoreboard section shows detailed information about each worker on your server:
- Srv — Server number of the worker.
- PID — Process ID of the worker.
