Apachetop is very simple command line utility that you can use to monitor traffic real-time. It accomplishes this by parsing the apache logfiles and displaying meaningful output to the screen.

How to install Apachetop

yum -y install apachetop

How this used to display the http request

# apachetop -r 5 -T 30
