Hi all

time) ?

Kind regards

There is a server status module called stub status, but it’s on a server  
wide level, not vhost. You have to parse the access logs if you want  
vhost granularity.

just set http\_accounting\_id in each VH config file.

There is an sFlow module here:  
[http://nginx-sflow-module.googlecode.com](http://nginx-sflow-module.googlecode.com)

described here:

>
> The nginx-sflow-module project is an open source implementation of sFlow monitoring for the Nginx ( pronounced engine x) web server. T...

transactions are sampled at 1-in-N (to minimize the overhead) and send  
via UDP to an sFlow collector for further analysis. For example, the  
freeware “sflowtool” can turn it into an ascii feed in  
common-logfile-format.

sFlow agents are also available for servers/hypervisors  
([http://host-sflow.sourceforge.net](http://host-sflow.sourceforge.net)); and for most ethernet switches  
([sFlow Products: Network Equipment @ sFlow.org](http://sflow.org/products/network.php)) so you might find you can  
instrument the system in other ways too.
