pmdanginx - nginx performance metrics domain agent (PMDA)
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.
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, the following must be done 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.
$PCP_PMDAS_DIR/nginx/nginx.conf optional configuration file for pmdanginx $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/nginx/Install installation script for the pmdanginx agent $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/nginx/Remove undo installation script for the pmdanginx agent $PCP_LOG_DIR/pmcd/nginx.log default log file for error messages from pmdanginx
Environment variables with the prefix PCP_ are used to parameterize the file and directory names used by PCP. On each installation, the file /etc/pcp.conf contains the local values for these variables. The $PCP_CONF variable may be used to specify an alternative configuration file, as described in pcp.conf(5).
