Nginx status output

Server NGINX
1

Active connections: 6
server accepts handled requests
1161356 1161356 1160523
Reading: 2 Writing: 4 Waiting: 0

What are those 3 numbers?

  1. server accepts
  2. handled
  3. requests

?

I believe it’s

number of tcp connections accepted,
number of tcp connections handled (i’m guessing this will be less than
the accepted count if there are some connections using keepalive)
number of http requests handled (may be higher than accepted/handled
because of pipelining / keepalive)

Cheers

No, handled may be less than accepted, because nginx may drop
connections,
if there are not enough worker_connections.

Does anyone have any additional monitoring patches or ideas on knowing
what’s going on inside of nginx, besides for error and access log
output processing?

It would be nice to know any relevant information…
