Nginx plugins for Munin

Monitoring is great! I try to monitor everything I can – each service and important cron-jobs.

Since I’m running on nginx I searched a lot around the web for munin plugins, maybe yo know this problem you found one but you get empty graph.

Prepare nginx to show statistics:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8

vim /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/default
# and add this block:
location /nginx_status {
    stub_status on;
    access_log off;
    allow 127.0.0.1;
    deny all;
}

Now restart nginx and test the statistic.

If your nginx was compiled, make sure it was compiled with “–with-http_stub_status_module” — it’s off by default, so you might need to recompile nginx.

Test statistic:
Simply “telnet localhost 80” and type “GET /nginx_status” to see statistics
