Great read!

Does anyone know how to effectively keep a tab on this on a docker container running nginx open source? I have an external log/metrics monitoring server that could alert on this, but I'm asking more on the lines of how to get this information to the monitoring server.

In this case (ingress controller) this is done with a Prometheus metric exporter. So all the metrics are available in Prometheus.

It sounded like there's a config directive to have Ingress Controller push all its metrics into Prometheus?

If it's helpful at all, here's a concrete example of a k8s nginx setup that exports-to/is-monitored-by prometheus: https://github.com/bitnami/kube-manifests/blob/master/common...
