Check Apache Load
This plugin checks the CPU percentage used by the Apache process.
The usage of this plugin is based on the information provided by mod_status Apache module, thus both the module installation on the server side and setting the Apache ExtendedStatus directive (ExtendedStatus on) are requirement.

mod_status returns information through HTTP, so this plugin doesn't require being executed on the server side, and thus, doesn't require the installation of operating systema agents as NRPE.

This plugin is Nagios 3.x (ePN) compatible and returns CPU load as performance data. The attached README file completes this information.

EXAMPLE USAGE

#./check_apache_load.pl -H localhost -w 80 -c 90
#APACHE_LOAD OK - 0.133747% cpu load | CPULoad=0.133747%

Explanation:
It returns WARNING if CPU Load is higher than 80% and CRITICAL if CPU Load is higher than 90%.

In this case it returns OK because check has been performed succesfully.
