Installation

Nginx Configuration

Add the following to your default vhost configuration file:

    location /nginx_status {
        stub_status on;
        access_log   off;
        allow 127.0.0.1;
        allow <external host IP>;
        deny all;
    }

Zabbix Configuration

1. Copy userparameter_nginx.conf to /etc/zabbix/zabbix_agentd.d folder (or whatever is default and/or configured on your system).

2. Copy nginx-stat.py to /etc/zabbix/zabbix_agentd.scripts folder. IMPORTANT: if you use another folder for agent scripts, then update userparameter file in the previous step!

3. Import XML template file (zbx_template_nginx.xml) into Zabbix via Web GUI (Configuration -> Templates -> Import).

4. Assign the imported template to a host and enjoy!

Troubleshooting

A simple run of the script from a console should give just one number in return, for example:

> /etc/zabbix/zabbix_agentd.scripts/nginx-stat.py -h localhost -p 443 -a active
