## ExtendedStatus

Syntax: ExtendedStatus On|Off
Default: `ExtendedStatus Off`
Context: server config
Status: Base
Module: mod_status
Compatibility: ExtendedStatus is only available in Apache 1.3.2 and later.

This directive controls whether the server keeps track of extended status information for each request. This is only useful if the status module is enabled on the server.

This setting applies to the entire server, and cannot be enabled or disabled on a virtualhost-by-virtualhost basis.

## Enabling Status Support

To enable status reports only for browsers from the foo.com domain add this code to your `access.conf` configuration file

        <Location /server-status>
        SetHandler server-status

        order deny,allow
        deny from all
        allow from .foo.com
        </Location>

You can now access server statistics by using a Web browser to access the page `http://your.server.name/server-status`

Note that mod_status will only work when you are running Apache in standalone mode and not inetd mode.

### Automatic Updates

You can get the status page to update itself automatically if you have a browser that supports "refresh". Access the page `http://your.server.name/server-status?refresh=N` to refresh the page every N seconds.

### Machine Readable Status File

A machine-readable version of the status file is available by accessing the page `http://your.server.name/server-status?auto`. This is useful when automatically run, see the Perl program in the `/support` directory of Apache, `log_server_status`.

> It should be noted that if `mod_status` is compiled into the server, its handler capability is available in all configuration files, including per-directory files (e.g., `.htaccess`). This may have security-related ramifications for your site.
