Measuring response time Apache request
Hi all,
I want to get the response time that Apache spends to serve a request
(from post-read-request phase to the response phase).
Any idea?

Thanks

I'm pretty sure there are messages buried in the archives (from torsten)
showing how to do this with $r->push_handlers and Time::HiRes (or
something along those lines). It's not really that complicated though,
you basically just have a PostReadRequestHandler that uses push_handlers
to push a handler into every phase that just logs the current time, or
whatever it is you want to log.

PerlPostReadRequestHandler "sub { \
use Time::HiRes(); \
use Apache2::RequestUtil(); \
$_[0]->pnotes->{starttime}=Time::HiRes::time; \
0; \
}"

Then in the PerlResponseHandler you can do:

$elapsed=Time::HiRes::time-$r->pnotes->{starttime};

To answer you last question :

Go to : http://perl.apache.org/
On the left side, there is an item : Mailing lists
This leads you to the : mod_perl Users mailing list
This leads you to the : Searchable archives
where you have a choice of searchable archives.
and have a look for example at "marc.theaimsgroup.com"

Apart from that, and for the main issue :

Is it not easier to just read the Apache access log a posteriori, and filter the lines
which you need ?
With the appropriate LogFormat, you can have the microseconds needed for each request.

See : http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_log_config.html#formats
(parameter %D)

e.g.
LogFormat "%a - %u %t \"%r\" %>s %b \"%{Referer}i\" \"%{User-Agent}i\" %D" combined_ip
CustomLog /var/log/apache2/somehost/access.log combined_ip

Sample log line with the above format (server name changed for privacy) :

192.168.193.11 - U367532 [24/May/2011:17:49:05 +0200] "POST /starweb/OPAC/servlet.starweb
HTTP/1.0" 200 28029
"http://somehost.mycompany.com/starweb/OPAC/servlet.starweb?path=OPAC/STARLibs_OPAC_xxx.web"
"Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 5.2; .NET CLR 1.1.4322; .NET CLR 2.0.50727;
.NET CLR 3.0.04506.648; .NET CLR 3.5.21022; .NET CLR 3.0.4506.2152; .NET CLR 3.5.30729;
.NET4.0C; .NET4.0E)" 147626


(the last number is the number of microseconds needed to process that request)

With Apache2::ModLogConfig you can even install a Perl handler to be
called by CustomLog:

<Perl>
sub My::LogReceiver {
my ($r, $usec)=@_;
...
}
</Perl>

CustomLog "@perl: My::LogReceiver" "%D"

But Marco wanted PostReadRequest => Response not PostReadRequest => Log.

Hi,
I follow your suggest using Time::HiRes but I have an error when I try
to start apache. Here's my code(it is only an example):
This is the script that will be executed as response handler, but it
doesn't work because doesn't print the time.
*use strict;
use warnings;

use Time::HiRes qw(gettimeofday tv_interval);

use Apache2::RequestRec ();
use Apache2::RequestIO ();

use Apache2::Const -compile => 'OK';

sub handler{
my $r = shift;
my $start_time = [ gettimeofday ];
my $end_time = [ gettimeofday ];
my $elapsed = tv_interval($start_time,$end_time);
$r->send_http_header('text/html');
$r->print ($elapsed);
return Apache2::Const::OK;
}
1;
*
In httpd.conf file I have:

PerlPostReadRequestHandler Dir::touch #this script is well executed
PerlResponseHandler Dir::timediff #this handler (below)
is not executed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

why it doesn't work?
Can you help me,please?
Thanks for your answers!

perhaps you forgot

SetHandler modperl

The response phase is a bit different from the other phases. The
"SetHandler" is needed to make apache call the perl interpreter in the
response phase.

I know, but the difference is likely to be only a Muckeseckele, as they say around here.

Hi Marco,

I also use "%D" as André suggested.

Add "%D" to your LogFormat string,
unless you need to do something in your application
with the request time, like for example
include it in a html comment.

If you're using Debian/Ubuntu, just change your LogFormat
or create a file like "/etc/apache2/conf.d/log-request-time" with:

LogFormat "%a %l %u %t \"%r\" %>s %b \"%{Referer}i\" \"%{User-Agent}i\"
time:%D" combined

that should be it.
