Introduction

Oracle HTTP Server (OHS) is a web server that provides the necessary infrastructure to support dynamic applications. Based on the Apache infrastructure, Oracle HTTP Server allows developers to program their site in a variety of languages and technologies.

In environments where the OHS is used to support critical end-user services, it is imperative to ensure that the OHS is continuously functioning to peak capacity, and is available 24x7 to serve client requests. Intermittent web server failures and even slight dips in the responsiveness of the server, could significantly delay, and sometimes even halt, service delivery, causing the business to lose millions. To avoid such adversities, the internal health and availability of the OHS needs to be constantly monitored. The eG Enterprise helps administrators in this task.
