Hello @sunilmchaudhari,

The [apache module supports](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/metricbeat/current/metricbeat-module-apache.html) a `hosts` option, the defaults we assume the **localhost** and the port **80**.

Example config:

```auto
metricbeat.modules:
- module: apache
  metricsets: ["status"]
  period: 10s
  enabled: true

  # Apache hosts
  hosts: ["http://127.0.0.1:51443"]

```
