# Nginx by HTTP
## 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 HTTP` - collects metrics by polling the [Module ngx_http_stub_status_module](https://nginx.ru/en/docs/http/ngx_http_stub_status_module.html) with HTTP agent remotely:
```text
Active connections: 291
server accepts handled requests
16630948 16630948 31070465
Reading: 6 Writing: 179 Waiting: 106
```
Note that this solution supports HTTPS and redirects.
## 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](https://www.zabbix.com/documentation/7.0/manual/config/templates_out_of_the_box) section.
## Setup
See the setup instructions for [ngx_http_stub_status_module](https://nginx.ru/en/docs/http/ngx_http_stub_status_module.html).
Test the availability of the `http_stub_status_module` with `nginx -V 2>&1 | grep -o with-http_stub_status_module`.
Example configuration of Nginx:
```text
location = /basic_status {
stub_status;
allow <IP of your Zabbix server/proxy>;
deny all;
}
```
If you use another location, then don't forget to change the {$NGINX.STUB_STATUS.PATH} macro.
Example answer from Nginx:
```text
Active connections: 291
server accepts handled requests
16630948 16630948 31070465
Reading: 6 Writing: 179 Waiting: 106
```
Note that this solution supports https and redirects.
