Nginx: Failed to fetch stub status page (or no data for 30m)

[zabboox]

Ive defined an agent where its taking from nginx, and everything seems to be fine but the nginx data does not seem to come to zabbix server.
the error shown is
Nginx: Failed to fetch stub status page (or no data for 30m)
I have done a apache basic auth on nginx root page so that I dont want anyone to see the pages, could this be the reason, if yes, how can I add the user and pass for apache basic auth inside the zabbix template?
any suggestion?

Hi! "Template App Nginx by Zabbix agent" doesn't use authentication.
In "Template App Nginx by HTTP" you could change the HTTP authentication field in the "Nginx: Get stub status page" item.

I don't know about default templates but any item with type HTTP check should support basic auth with username and password.

you can read more about HTTP checks here https://www.zabbix.com/documentation...itemtypes/http

Can I add to this...I am getting the same message in Zabbix, yet when I curl for the status I get a response. Am I missing something in Zabbix?

In Zabbix I am also seeing this in the data for the host: Preprocessing failed for: HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found..Connection: close..Content-Length: 146..Content-Type: text/html..Date: We...
1. Failed: cannot perform regular expression "server accepts handled requests\s+([0-9]+) ([0-9]+) ([0-9]+)" match for value of type "none": pattern does not match

Is this bc Nginx is only responding on 443? If that were the case I would believe my curl would fail?

OK a bit more information....I use Zabbix proxy to get back to my Zabbix server. What I did was edit nginx.conf and added the following:

server {

location /nginx_status {
stub_status;
allow 192.168.2.102; # Zabbix Server
allow 10.0.3.1; # Zabbix Proxy for RICS Prod
deny all; #deny all other hosts
}
}

Would this be correct?
