Do you mean running the Nagios/Icinga web interface on nginx? If so,  
check out this link:

No, i need a script for nagios to check nginx (notify if the current  
connections is over X value, if works, etc), but someone better that a  
simple ping.

Hey Tio,

Try adding this to your nginx.conf:

```
   location /server-status {
            stub_status on;

```

It will allow your server to output:

Active connections: 2318  
server accepts handled requests  
201272333 201272328 533628275  
Reading: 638 Writing: 250 Waiting: 1430

(Those number are made up)

Then use this plugin:
