To host web applications on the server, use HTTP connection handlers.

To create the web application servlet extension, use the create-web-application-extension option with dsconfig.

$ bin/dsconfig create-web-application-extension \
  --extension-name "Hello Web Application" \
  --set "base-context-path:/hello-app" \
  --set "document-root-directory:/opt/hello-web-app"

To monitor the connection handler, use the ldapsearch tool.

Note:
By default, the HTTP connection handler has an advanced monitor entry property, keep-stats, that is set to TRUE.
```
$ bin/ldapsearch --baseDN "cn=monitor" \
  "(objectClass=ds-http-connection-handler-statistics-monitor-entry)"
```
