How to check the number of requests being served by server

Question

Can any one help with the command to check the number of requests being served by apache web server.

I know some commands to test the load of server, like top command to check the load on server and free -m command to check the RAM memory space on server.

I have SSH access to my server.

There is a utility called apachetop that is available for a variety of Linux distros that will monitor your logs in real time and provide this information.

You may also find that mod_status will provide the information that you want.

Iain's suggestion is good for monitoring instantaneous information. Munin will grab status information every 5 minutes and give you graphical results.

Your access logs can provide a wealth of information. Tools that summarize the data such as awstats can generate useful information.

Configure and interpret mod_status

It offers all you could need to understand your servers' performance and behaviour.
