zapache 1.5 - Apache monitoring script for Zabbix

The script version 1.4 and template are taken from https://www.zabbix.com/wiki/templates/apache#method_3

What's new

Version 1.5

• Zapache would cache received apache status page for 60 seconds by default. This eliminates the need to query apache for every item collected.
• Added worker threads graph to a template
• Added new items: status, ping, BusyWorkers, CPULoad
• Added trigger for Apache status to a template
• Ability to specify status page URL as a parameter to the script
• Better error handling
• Added sample conf files for Apache and Zabbix agent
• Added measurement units to a template
