Recommendations for nginx stats capturing

Server NGINX
1

I am looking for a tool to help me understand the # of requests nginx is
processing over time. I came across this which looks pretty good
Monitoring nginx Server Statistics With rrdtool :: Oleksiy Kovyrin but I
cannot get the script running.

Perl complains about a missing RRDs.pm file when I try to run it. I am
new to all this so wasn’t really sure what to do. Google searches didn’t
help. I am on Fedora core 8 i386. I did a yum install rrdtools and that
installed the base package, but still not RRDs.pm file was included so I
am stuck.

Does anyone have an idea of how to get this going?

Also I noticed that this script was last updated or posted back in 2006,
so I was wondering if there was anything else newer that some people
were using with success.

Thanks!

Try Munin: http://munin.projects.linpro.no/

Alexander.

I use collectd to collect the stats by polling the nginx info module.
collectd dumps the data into rrd dbs, then I use drraw to generate
graphs.

Talking about munin, has anyone managed to make the plugin
nginx_request work? I have installed the bundle::LWP for perl but I
still don’t get anything traced on the graph.

I was trying today but no success …
The graphs are showing up in munin with no data
