When using the 'manager' web app to monitor Tomcat ( url; http://... /manager/status/all ) the page titled 'Complete Server Status' has a field on it called 'Error count:' followed by a number. This field exists under all the section headings. Intuitively, I would assume that the number under the individual sections totaled up would equal the number under the HTTP-SSL and HTTP-NonSSL sections but they don't. What is Error Count? What does a non-zero number represent? Is there some documentation that explains the page? I tried looking at the documentation ( <http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-5.0-doc/manager-howto.html> http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-5.0-doc/manager-howto.html) but could find nothing that talks about Error Count.
