Rewrite with proxy_pass

Server NGINX
1

Hi All,

I’ve set up monit (Easy, proactive monitoring of processes, programs, files, directories, filesystems and hosts | Monit) which by default
runs an http admin server on a local tcp port of your choice.

I want to proxy requests from the outside world, via nginx, to this
tcp port. I also then need to change the URI that is sent to the
monit web server, removing the fixed path from the URI.

So,

server {
…
location / {
…
}
location /monitor/app_a {
…
}
location /monitor/monit {
rewrite ^/monitor/monit/(.*) /$1;
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:2812;
}
}

But! It doesn’t work… It seems that I’m passing the wrong URI to
monit.

I can tell this from packet capturing on port 2812.

What am I doing wrong?

Cheers

SM

      location /monitor/monit {

  •          rewrite ^/monitor/monit/(.*) /$1;

  •          rewrite ^/monitor/monit/(.*) /$1   break;
         proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:2812;
    }

or, better:

      location /monitor/monit {

  •          rewrite ^/monitor/monit/(.*) /$1;

  •          proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:2812;

  •          proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:2812/;
    }

Many thanks for the quick response Igor.

I’m sure I echo all on this list when I say thankyou for the great
product!

Kind Regards
