I have a need to do some
simple monitoring of an nginx server.
All I really want to do at the end of the day is monitor the number of
404, 500s, and 200 codes coming across my log files in nginx.
It would not be too
difficult to write something that monitors logs and creates a /metrics page for
Prometheus. But I want to try one of
the already made exporters out there to see how well they work.
The one I am going to
try out is the Prometheus metric library for NGINX https://github.com/knyar/nginx-lua-prometheus [1]
