Hmmm... looks like nothing more than a weblog analyzer. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. It's not "real time" since it can only report on what the web-server has done not what it is doing. AFAIK, nginx has nothing like Apache httpd's mod_status... at least, nothing open source.

If you're in a Kubernetes environment, the NGINX Ingress Controller has a pretty decent set of realtime metrics: https://kubernetes.github.io/ingress-nginx/user-guide/monito...

Which presumably means those metrics are available in the OSS edition somehow...

Open source nginx has stub_status. It's just not very (very not) featureful.

https://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_stub_status_module.h...

What frustrates me about Apache's mod_status is that it's powered by a normal request handler. If all the child workers are busy, your request for a status report will timeout, even if you're running it locally from the command line. Not super helpful when you're troubleshooting in real time.

Anyone know if there's a "deeper" way to get the same stats info about what Apache is doing without having to basically wait in line with all the other incoming requests?

the latency between weblog and web server is a lot more real time than most things
