Apache status server connection / child / slot explanation

Question

On the apache server status page, referring to the "Acc" column, which is the "Number of access to this connection / this child / this slot".

For example, 18/256/356, I will expect all values ​​to be equal.

I need an explanation of what is meant by a child and slot connection with examples.

Answer 1

From this mailing list , we can give the following definitions:

• A child is a process or thread that processes requests.

• A slot is a placeholder for a child. Perhaps the child may or may not be there depending on the backup max / min servers.

• A connection is a connection between a client and a child that resides in a slot.
