Nginx Stream Server Traffic Input Plugin

This plugin gathers metrics from the Nginx web server using the external stream server traffic status module. This module provides access to stream host status information containing the current status of servers, upstreams and caches, similar to the live activity monitoring of Nginx plus. For module configuration details please see the module documentation.

Global configuration options

Plugins support additional global and plugin configuration settings for tasks such as modifying metrics, tags, and fields, creating aliases, and configuring plugin ordering. See CONFIGURATION.md for more details.

Configuration

toml

# Read Nginx virtual host traffic status module information (nginx-module-sts)
[[inputs.nginx_sts]]
  ## An array of ngx_http_status_module or status URI to gather stats.
  urls = ["http://localhost/status", "http+unix:///var/run/nginx.sock:/status"]

  ## HTTP response timeout (default: 5s)
  response_timeout = "5s"

  ## Optional TLS Config
  # tls_ca = "/etc/telegraf/ca.pem"
  # tls_cert = "/etc/telegraf/cert.pem"
  # tls_key = "/etc/telegraf/key.pem"
  ## Use TLS but skip chain & host verification
  # insecure_skip_verify = false
