NGINX collector
NGINX is a web server which can also be used as a reverse proxy, load balancer, mail proxy
and HTTP cache.
This module will monitor one or more NGINX servers, depending on your configuration.

Configuration
Edit the go.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
sudo ./edit-config go.d/nginx.conf
Needs only url to server's stub_status. Here is an example for local and remote servers:
jobs:
- name: local
url: http://127.0.0.1/stub_status
- name: remote
url: http://203.0.113.10/stub_status
For all available options please see
module configuration file.
Troubleshooting
To troubleshoot issues with the nginx collector, run the go.d.plugin with the debug option enabled. The output
should give you clues as to why the collector isn't working.
-
Navigate to the plugins.d directory, usually at /usr/libexec/netdata/plugins.d/. If that's not the case on
your system, open netdata.conf and look for the plugins setting under [directories].
cd /usr/libexec/netdata/plugins.d/
-
Switch to the netdata user.
sudo -u netdata -s
-
Run the go.d.plugin to debug the collector:
./go.d.plugin -d -m nginx
