   • idle
   • active

5. SSL Handshakes in handshakes/s

   • successful
   • failed

6. SSL Session Reuses in sessions/s

   • reused

7. SSL Memory Usage in percent

   • usage

8. Processes in processes

   • respawned

   • sent

For every upstream:

1. Peers Requests in requests/s

   • peer name (dimension per peer)

2. All Peers Responses in responses/s

   • 1xx
   • 2xx
   • 3xx

9. Memory Usage in percent

   • usage

10. Peers Status in state

    • peer name (dimension per peer)

11. Peers Total Downtime in seconds

    • peer name (dimension per peer)

For every cache:

1. Traffic in KB

   • served

Configuration

Edit the python.d/nginx_plus.conf configuration file using edit-config from the Netdata config directory, which is typically at /etc/netdata.

cd /etc/netdata   # Replace this path with your Netdata config directory, if different
sudo ./edit-config python.d/nginx_plus.conf

Needs only url to server's status.

Here is an example for a local server:

local:
  url     : 'http://localhost/status'

Without configuration, module fail to start.
