PMDANGINX(1)               General Commands Manual              PMDANGINX(1)

NAME         top

       pmdanginx - nginx performance metrics domain agent (PMDA)

DESCRIPTION         top

       pmdanginx is a Performance Metrics Domain Agent (PMDA) which exports
       performance metrics from nginx(8) - an HTTP and reverse proxy server,
       a mail proxy server, and a generic TCP proxy server.

INSTALLATION         top

       This PMDA requires that the nginx stub_status module is active and
       available at http://localhost/nginx_status
       In order to enable this module, the "server" section of the
       nginx.conf configuration file should contain the following.
            location /nginx_status {
                stub_status on;
                access_log off;
                allow 127.0.0.1;
                allow ::1;
                deny all;
            }
       Instrumentation availability can be verified using these commands
       (compile-time then run-time checks):
             # nginx -V 2>&1 | grep -o with-http_stub_status_module
             # curl http://localhost/nginx_status
       Install the nginx PMDA by using the Install script as root:
             # cd $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/nginx
             # ./Install
       To uninstall, do the following as root:
             # cd $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/nginx
             # ./Remove
       pmdanginx is launched by pmcd(1) and should never be executed
       directly. The Install and Remove scripts notify pmcd(1) when the
       agent is installed or removed.

PCP ENVIRONMENT         top

       Environment variables with the prefix PCP_ are used to parameterize
       the file and directory names used by PCP. On each installation, the
       file /etc/pcp.conf contains the local values for these variables.
       The $PCP_CONF variable may be used to specify an alternative
       configuration file, as described in pcp.conf(5).
