NGINX Stub Status Page

[stevefxp]

Hello all,

I am trying to monitor my NGINX processes. I am using the Zabbix agent template and understand I need to have the stub status page available. My question is related to the config of the page:

location /nginx_status {
stub_status on;
access_log off;
allow 172.24.16.4;
deny all;
}

Should the allow line be the IP of the main Zabbix server or should it be the server itself, since there is a Zabbix agent on the server? I continue to get a 404 not found and The requested URL /basic_status was not found on this server.

Thanks,
Steve

If http://bablabla/nginx_status is configured, then request it. Not URL /basic_status !
The agent's access from the 127.0.0.1 address is sufficient.

I think part of the problem could be that the default port for NGINX to respond is port 80. When I try to hit htttp://blahblahblah/nginx_status it pushes me to HTTPS.

If you check the url on your computer with a modern browser, it automatically changes the scheme to httpS. Zabbix uses curl and doesn't do that.
The second possible option is that you have redirection configured in nginx. Here you manage the settings yourself.

All good...you were correct and NGINX was redirecting. Curl is my friend! Thank you!
