NGINX monitoring with Netdata

Monitors one or more NGINX servers depending on configuration. Servers can be either local or remote.

Requirements

• nginx with configured 'ngx_http_stub_status_module'
• 'location /stub_status'

Example nginx configuration can be found in 'python.d/nginx.conf'

It produces following charts:

1. Active Connections

   • active

2. Requests in requests/s

   • requests

3. Active Connections by Status

   • reading
   • writing
   • waiting

4. Connections Rate in connections/s

   • accepts
   • handled

Configuration

Edit the python.d/nginx.conf configuration file using edit-config from the Netdata config directory, which is typically at /etc/netdata.

cd /etc/netdata   # Replace this path with your Netdata config directory, if different
sudo ./edit-config python.d/nginx.conf

Needs only url to server's stub_status.

Here is an example for local server:

update_every : 10
priority     : 90100

local:
  url     : 'http://localhost/stub_status'

Without configuration, module attempts to connect to http://localhost/stub_status
