1. Nginx stub status module

   Make sure that the server process is configured with the stub status module. Use the command:

   Code Block
   language bash theme RDark
   root@linux:~# nginx -V 2>&1 | grep -o with-http_stub_status_module with-http_stub_status_module

   If the stub status module is not installed, you can follow this guide for the installation: https://www.tecmint.com/enable-nginx-status-page/
   
   

2. Add a new server block configuration inside /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/default

   Code Block
   language bash theme RDark title /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/default
   server { listen 8081; listen [::]:8081; server_name _; root /var/www/html; index index.html; location /nginx_status { stub_status on; access_log off; allow 127.0.0.1; deny all; } }

   .

3. Restart nginx service

   Code Block
   language bash theme RDark
   root@linux:~# systemctl restart nginx

   .

4. Now the Url 127.0.0.1:8081/nginx_status should be available

   Code Block
   language bash theme RDark
   root@linux:~# wget -qO - http://127.0.0.1:8081/nginx_status Active connections: 1 server accepts handled requests 1 1 1 Reading: 0 Writing: 1 Waiting: 0

   .

5. Configure nginx_status
   
   

   • Manually
     You must install the agent plugin nginx_status into your agent's plugins directory (usually /usr/lib/check_mk_agent/plugins). The plugin tries to autodetect all running NGINX servers. If that fails, you must create the configuration file /etc/check_mk/nginx_status.cfg. Here is one example:

     Code Block
     language bash theme RDark
     servers = [{'address': '127.0.0.1', 'page': 'nginx_status', 'port': 8081, 'protocol': 'http'}]

     
     

   • via Bakery
     Setup → Agents → Windows, Linux, Solaris... → Agent rules →NGINX webservers (Linux)
     
     

     • Autodetect instances expect HTTPS on the following ports: nginx_status will try to autodetect all running NGINX servers.
