#Apache HTTP Server Auto-instrumentation

The Apache HTTP Server auto-instrumentation enables automatic collection of telemetry data from Apache web servers without requiring manual code modifications. This instrumentation captures HTTP request and response information, including request paths, status codes, and timing data.

The Operator injects the OpenTelemetry Apache module into Apache HTTP Server containers, automatically configuring the module to export telemetry data to the specified backend. This provides visibility into web server performance and request patterns.

#Enabling Apache HTTP Server Instrumentation

To enable auto-instrumentation for Apache HTTP Server, annotate your pod or namespace:

apiVersion: v1
kind: Pod
metadata:
  name: apache-server
  annotations:
    instrumentation.opentelemetry.io/inject-apache-httpd: "true"
spec:
  containers:
  - name: httpd
    image: httpd:latest

The Operator will automatically inject the necessary instrumentation components when the pod is created.
