ngxtop

ngxtop is also very useful for providing real-time metrics: https://github.com/lebinh/ngxtop

It seems to be a rewrite of ngxtop https://github.com/lebinh/ngxtop

I wrote something out of our need for better monitoring/metrics for Nginx here: https://luameter.com/ And quite a few people are using it for per-vhost metrics use case just like you said. Also if you prefer something simpler and open source I also wrote this https://github.com/lebinh/ngxtop

I showed ngxtop [0] about 2 years ago as a top inspired tool to quickly check the status of my nginx servers, something I created for my need. I expected some people would find it useful and shared, turned out a lot of people need something to monitor their nginx servers and it got 3k stars in a day or two. So I built a much better tool to help monitor nginx and sell it as a product, Luameter [1]. It didn't take off like the other but now making a couple hundreds a month and being used by some high-profile users, i.e. well-known companies.

Hi, I'm the author of this. About a year ago I open sourced a tool for quick monitoring and troubleshooting Nginx, ngxtop [1], and received some very positive interests from HN community. However quite a few people are using it as a monitoring solution for their Nginx server, which is not ideal. Ngxtop was designed to be like the `top` command, you fire it up to check for at most 5-10 minutes and stop. It was not meant to be a long monitoring process that can be used to plug to your monitoring system such as Zabbix or Nagios or graphed by Graphite. Nginx has an official status module for this [2], but it requires Nginx Plus, a > $1k product. Other solutions would normally require a log processing process piping to an external system to calculate and store the metrics. While an ELK stack [3] could provide you a lot more useful data, its se
