Using apachetop you can watch every request on your apache webserver smiliar to watching progresses with top at your local system.

It works by processing the logfiles found in /var/log/apache.

By default apachetop will use your log in /var/log/apache/access.log, but you can add a -f flag to the command and point it to wherever your apache log really is if you moved it.

apachetop -f var/log/httpd-access.log

In the header of the output apachetop generates some small statistics about number of requests, the transfered data and the returned status codes since apachetop was started and for also for the last 30 seconds.
Additionally the last few requests are listed. Press “d” to switch from requested urls to refferrers or client IPs.
