Nginx<\/strong>\u00a0is a free open source, high-performance, reliable, scalable and fully extensible web server, load balancer and reverse proxy software. It has a simple and easy-to-understand configuration language. It also supports a multitude of modules both\u00a0static<\/strong>\u00a0(which have existed in Nginx since the first version) and\u00a0dynamic<\/strong>\u00a0(introduced in version\u00a01.9.11<\/strong>).<\/p>\n

One of the important modules in Nginx is the\u00a0ngx_http_stub_status_module<\/strong>\u00a0module which provides access to basic Nginx status information via a \u201cstatus page<\/strong>\u201d. It shows information such as total number of active client connections, those accepted, and those handled, total number of requests and number of reading, writing and waiting connections.<\/p>\n

On most Linux distributions, the\u00a0Nginx<\/strong>\u00a0version comes with the\u00a0ngx_http_stub_status_module<\/strong>\u00a0enabled. You can check out if the module is already enabled or not using following command.<\/p>\n

# nginx -V 2>&1 | grep -o with-http_stub_status_module\r\n<\/pre>\n
\n
\"Check<\/a><\/p>\n
Check Nginx Status Module<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
If you see\u00a0--with-http_stub_status_module<\/code>\u00a0as output in the terminal, means the status module is enabled. If the above command returns no output, you need to\u00a0compile NGINX from source<\/a>\u00a0using the\u00a0\u2013with-http_stub_status_module<\/strong>\u00a0as configuration parameter as shown.<\/p>\n
# wget http:\/\/nginx.org\/download\/nginx-1.13.12.tar.gz\r\n# tar xfz nginx-1.13.12.tar.gz\r\n# cd nginx-1.13.12\/\r\n# .\/configure --with-http_stub_status_module\r\n# make\r\n# make install\r\n<\/pre>\n
After verifying the module, you will also need to enable\u00a0stub_status<\/strong>\u00a0module in the\u00a0NGINX<\/strong>\u00a0configuration file\u00a0\/etc\/nginx\/nginx.conf<\/strong>\u00a0to set up a locally reachable URL (e.g.,\u00a0http:\/\/www.example.com\/nginx_status<\/strong>) for the status page.<\/p>\n
location \/nginx_status {\r\n \tstub_status;\r\n \tallow 127.0.0.1;\t#only allow requests from localhost\r\n \tdeny all;\t\t#deny all other hosts\t\r\n }\r\n<\/pre>\n
\n
\"Enable<\/a><\/p>\n
Enable Nginx Status Page<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Make sure to replace\u00a0127.0.0.1<\/strong>\u00a0with your server\u2019s IP address and also make sure that this page accessible to only you.<\/p>\n
After making configurations changes, make sure to check nginx configuration for any errors and restart the nginx service to effect the recent changes using following commands.<\/p>\n
# nginx -t\r\n# nginx -s reload \r\n<\/pre>\n
\n
\"Check<\/a><\/p>\n
Check Nginx Configuration<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
After reloading nginx server, now you can visit the Nginx status page at the below URL using curl program to see your metrics.<\/p>\n
# curl http:\/\/127.0.0.1\/nginx_status\r\nOR\r\n# curl http:\/\/www.example.com\/nginx_status\r\n<\/pre>\n
\n
\"Check<\/a><\/p>\n

Important<\/strong>: The\u00a0ngx_http_stub_status_module<\/strong>\u00a0module has been superseded by the\u00a0ngx_http_api_module<\/strong>module in\u00a0Nginx 1.13.0<\/strong>\u00a0version.<\/p>\n
