I am running Apache httpd 1.3 and Tomcat 4.1 with mod_jk on Mac OS X Server 10.3.9. Today I activated the "common" LogFormat in httpd.conf and restarted apache. Ever since then, I have seen the following line repeated every five minutes in the common log file: 127.0.0.1 - - [30/Mar/2007:15:26:40 -0400] "GET /server-status HTTP/1.1" 404 287 Is this something I should be concerned about? Any help is greatly appreciated. I should also mention that apache was initially returning code 200, but I disabled mod_status, so now it returns 404.
Are you running something like big brother (bb) on your server? That checks every 5 mins and can be configured to read server-status for graphing etc.
Thanks for your responses. I'm not aware of any server monitoring software on the server. How can I tell if Big Brother or a similar program is running?
