Couldn’t you do this notification via log scrapping? Also, depending on
your setup, it’s very likely that you will get transient upstream
failures, so you may get a lot of “false positives.”
In addition we have not only server list but also other kinds of repository.
What types of “things.”
For example, some policy like max_session_count or max_session_rate per one
server etc. anyhow i can’t help but modify nginx code.
If it can be controlled via the config file there is no reason to modify
nginx code. We have some settings that vary based on the “size” of the
server running nginx (worker count, connections, etc), but we use a
single configuration template. Also, the contents of upstreams vary on
data center and/or availability zone, etc.
By the way reloading the config doesn’t affect the performance of nginx even in
peak time without any loss of client request?
Depends on your peak. In my experience, there is a slight bump in
CPU/memory usage, but nothing alarming.
I see no reason to try to modify nginx to do things that are handled via
chef/puppet/cfengine/rsync/etc
