Few days ago I have installed nginx on one of our adult projects as reverse proxy server and for static files management. Yesterday this server got 200Mbit/sec traffic and because all admins like to create miscellaneous graphs, I have decided to draw nginx stats on graphs to see server load not only in megabits and load averages. As the result, I have created perl script, which uses RRDs perl module to create and manage rrd-database and very beautiful graphs.

This script is very easy to install and configure. You can use following steps to get pretty stats graph for your nginx-powered server:

* Modify your nginx config file and add following location to it:

Code: [Select]

 http {
          ...
          server {
              listen SOME.IP.ADD.RESS;
              ...
              location /nginx_status {
                  stub_status on;
                  access_log   off;
                  allow SOME.IP.ADD.RESS;
                  deny all;
              }
              ...
          }
          ...
      }

* Test your config file with following command:

Code: [Select]

      # /your/installation/sbin/nginx -t
      2006/04/29 04:24:36 [info] 31676#0: the configuration file /opt/nginx/conf/nginx.conf syntax is ok
      2006/04/29 04:24:36 [info] 31676#0: the configuration file /opt/nginx/conf/nginx.conf was tested successfully
      #Code: [Select]
