Confirm event model

Is there a way to confirm / see which event model Nginx is using?

i.e. “select”, “epoll”, “kqueue”, etc.?

Thanks

It’ll automatically use the best one available. Unless you’re on some
embedded system which might have an old kernel then you really don’t
need to worry about this at all.

confirm which one its chosen.

Just enable notice-level messages for error_log and you’ll see:
error_log logs/error.log notice;

Just write explictly:

events {
use epoll;
}

If nginx can not use this method it will complain in error_log.

Hi!

Maybe kind of off topic, but I would like to have some light on this.

Is it scheduled to implement more extended server-status which would
eventually provide this info?

The FeatureRequests page includes such thing with state “Maybe?” -

Thanks and regards,

Yes, work in progress

BTW, nginx loges on the notice level:
“using the “…” event method”.
