The ngx_http_stub_status_module module provides access to basic status information.

This module is not built by default, it should be enabled with the --with-http_stub_status_module configuration parameter.

Example Configuration

location /basic_status {
    stub_status;
}

This configuration creates a simple web page with basic status data which may look like as follows:

Active connections: 291 
server accepts handled requests
 16630948 16630948 31070465 
Reading: 6 Writing: 179 Waiting: 106 

Directives

Syntax: stub_status;
Default:
Context: server, location

The basic status information will be accessible from the surrounding location.

In versions prior to 1.7.5, the directive syntax required an arbitrary argument, for example, “stub_status on”.

Data

The following status information is provided:

Active connections
The current number of active client connections including Waiting connections.
accepts
