Proxy_pass to multi background monit http services

Server NGINX
1

monit has an embedded web interface, I want to use nginx to proxy
several servers:

http://monit.example.com/server1
http://monit.example.com/server2
http://monit.example.com/server3
http://monit.example.com/server4

    location /server1/ {
            rewrite ^/sever1/(.*) /$1 break;
            proxy_pass http://localhost:2812; #monit default port
    }
    location /server2/ {.....}

The first page of each monit server displays well but because all links
in monit has absolute path http://monit.example.com/some_link instead of
http://monit.example.com/server1/some_link, I don’t know hot to make
that work.

Can nginx do that? or we need to modify monit?

Thanks

Had the same problem. I was running monit 4.8 and running into the same
issues. You need monit 4.9 or later to handle reverse proxying. This
post helped me get monit 4.10 installed without re-compiling from
source: http://route19.com/logbook/view/monit-410-on-ubuntu-804.

So the answer is yes, nginx can do this with the proper version of
monit. Here’s the relevant nginx set-up that worked for me:

    location /monit/ {
            auth_basic "Restricted";
            auth_basic_user_file /etc/nginx/auth.passwd;
            rewrite ^/monit/(.*) /$1 break;
            proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:2812/;
    }

Hope this helps you

You do not need rewrite here - proxy_pass rewrite /monit/* to /* by
itself:

     location /monit/ {
              ...

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

my config (nginx replaces location uri with proxy_pass uri, if you
specified it after proxy hostname or proxy port) :

    location /monit/ {
        allow ;
        deny all;

        sub_filter_once off;
        sub_filter "a href='/" "a href='/monit/";

        proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:2812/; # pass query to backend

as is
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
}

So, to replace wrong links I’ve used sub_filter directive. To use it
nginx must be recompiled with --with-http_sub_module (see if you already
have it - nginx -V).

With all of this configuration only on “_about” screen is the bug. Do
you need often see _about page ? :wink:
