收集Nginx内置Metrics到Prometheus
一、简介
Nginx的ngx_http_stub_status_module模块可以暴露出来nginx的一些性能信息。但是这些信息不是prometheus的metrics信息格式。所以需要一个第三方服务用于转换这些数据，然后才能让prometheus拉取信息。
二、配置
1、Nginx
文档：http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_stub_status_module.html#variables
ngx_http_stub_status_module模块没有内置到nginx。如果需要开起，在编译Nginx时添加--with-http_stub_status_module参数
server {
listen 8080;
location /basic_status {
stub_status;
}
}
访问http://localhost:8080/basic_status
Active connections: 2
server accepts handled requests
37 37 519
Reading: 0 Writing: 1 Waiting: 1
2、Nginx Exporter
文档：https://github.com/nginxinc/nginx-prometheus-exporter
docker run -d \
--name nginx-prometheus-exporter \
-p 9113:9113 \
nginx/nginx-prometheus-exporter:0.9.0 -nginx.scrape-uri=http://localhost:8080/basic_status
访问http://localhost:9113/metrics
# HELP nginx_connections_accepted Accepted client connections
# TYPE nginx_connections_accepted counter
nginx_connections_accepted 37
# HELP nginx_connections_active Active client connections
# TYPE nginx_connections_active gauge
nginx_connections_active 2
# HELP nginx_connections_handled Handled client connections
# TYPE nginx_connections_handled counter
nginx_connections_handled 37
# HELP nginx_connections_reading Connections where NGINX is reading the request header
# TYPE nginx_connections_reading gauge
nginx_connections_reading 0
# HELP nginx_connections_waiting Idle client connections
# TYPE nginx_connections_waiting gauge
nginx_connections_waiting 1
# HELP nginx_connections_writing Connections where NGINX is writing the response back to the client
# TYPE nginx_connections_writing gauge
nginx_connections_writing 1
# HELP nginx_http_requests_total Total http requests
# TYPE nginx_http_requests_total counter
nginx_http_requests_total 519
# HELP nginx_up Status of the last metric scrape
# TYPE nginx_up gauge
nginx_up 1
# HELP nginxexporter_build_info Exporter build information
# TYPE nginxexporter_build_info gauge
nginxexporter_build_info{commit="5f88afbd906baae02edfbab4f5715e06d88538a0",date="2021-03-22T20:16:09Z",version="0.9.0"} 1
3、Prometheus
# ...省略...
scrape_configs:
- job_name: 'nginx_exporter'
static_configs:
- targets: ['localhost:9113']
4、Grafana

三、总结
暴露出来的Nginx信息太少，没有监控价值
