Nginx by Zabbix agent
Overview
This template is developed to monitor Nginx by Zabbix that works without any external scripts. Most of the metrics are collected in one go, thanks to Zabbix bulk data collection.
The template Nginx by Zabbix agent
- collects metrics by polling the Module ngx_http_stub_status_module locally with Zabbix agent:
Active connections: 291
server accepts handled requests
16630948 16630948 31070465
Reading: 6 Writing: 179 Waiting: 106
Note that this template doesn't support HTTPS and redirects (limitations of web.page.get
).
It also uses Zabbix agent to collect Nginx
Linux process statistics, such as CPU usage, memory usage and whether the process is running or not.
Requirements
Zabbix version: 7.0 and higher.
Tested versions
This template has been tested on:
- Nginx 1.17.2
Configuration
Zabbix should be configured according to the instructions in the Templates out of the box section.
Setup
See the setup instructions for ngx_http_stub_status_module.
Test the availability of the http_stub_status_module
nginx -V 2>&1 | grep -o with-http_stub_status_module
.
Example configuration of Nginx:
location = /basic_status {
stub_status;
allow 127.0.0.1;
allow ::1;
deny all;
}
If you use another location, then don't forget to change the {$NGINX.STUB_STATUS.PATH} macro.
Example answer from Nginx:
Active connections: 291
server accepts handled requests

Install and setup Zabbix agent.
