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.

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?” - [http://wiki.nginx.org/FeatureRequests](http://wiki.nginx.org/FeatureRequests) Thanks and regards, Boyko ---
