## Description

This plugin provides a mechanism for checking the main connection statistics for
page requests to key pages on your site.

It does this by connecting to the key pages you configure every minute, using ‘curl’
PHP functions, gathering the metrics from the connection into a JSON statistics 
file to be supplied to your monitoring systems.

In our case, we run Prometheus, so a metrics endpoint is provided. We gather the
metrics with the following section of Prometheus configuration:

    ```
    `
    ```

– job_name: ‘WebRequestMetrics’
 scrape_interval: 60s honor_labels: true scheme:‘
https’ basic_auth: username: ‘prometheus’ password: ‘secret_token_known_to_your_monitoring_system’
metrics_path: ‘/’ params: __metrics: [1] static_configs: – targets: – www.golder.
org – www.myothersite.com

    ```
    `
    ```
