NAME

pmdanginx - nginx performance metrics domain agent (PMDA)

DESCRIPTION

pmdanginx is a Performance Metrics Domain Agent (PMDA) which exports performance metrics
from nginx(8) - an HTTP and reverse proxy server, a mail proxy server, and a generic TCP
proxy server.

INSTALLATION

This PMDA requires that the nginx stub_status module is active and available at
http://localhost/nginx_status

In order to enable this module, the "server" section of the nginx.conf configuration file
should contain the following.

location /nginx_status {
stub_status on;
access_log off;
allow 127.0.0.1;
allow ::1;
deny all;
}

Instrumentation availability can be verified using these commands (compile-time then run-
time checks):

# nginx -V 2>&1 | grep -o with-http_stub_status_module
# curl http://localhost/nginx_status

Install the nginx PMDA by using the Install script as root:

# cd $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/nginx
# ./Install

To uninstall, do the following as root:

# cd $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/nginx
# ./Remove

pmdanginx is launched by pmcd(1) and should never be executed directly. The Install and
Remove scripts notify pmcd(1) when the agent is installed or removed.
