NGINX Server Monitoring

Improve NGINX Performance With AppOptics

AppOptics server-side monitoring, with its powerful trace summaries and application service maps, helps you understand dependencies and services. It gives valuable insights into application and infrastructure performance, simplifying the NGINX troubleshooting process. Get complete visibility into NGINX servers and deliver high‑performing applications with a seamless end-user experience.

• Examine NGINX performance, availability, and usage statistics
• Collect server metrics from the NGINX stub status module
• Analyze infrastructure, application, and business metrics

Observability With Server-Side and Client-Side Monitoring

Pingdom (client-side) provides in-depth visibility into web application ’performance from the user’s perspective on NGINX servers. The dynamic features and advanced functionalities of the tool allow monitoring of critical transactions, how fast or slow critical pages load, real user traffic, and website uptime. Together, AppOptics and Pingdom offer proactive monitoring, effective data analysis, and quick reporting.

• Pingdom Endpoint Availability Monitoring: Continuously monitor the availability, health, and performance of endpoints. Together, Pingdom and AppOptics efficiently track the status of all the transactions and endpoints and send real-time alerts the moment an outage is detected.
• Pingdom Synthetic Monitoring: Simulate user behavior to detect performance issues before they affect end-user experience. Run synthetic tests to see how fast critical pages are loading and what elements of a page cause a page to load slow. Simulate the most important transactions to verify workflows are completing and are performant. Execute these tests from over 100+ locations around the world and deliver uninterrupted services to end users.
• AppOptics Infrastructure and Application Monitoring: Get continuous visibility into the health of your critical systems and minimize mean time to resolution (MTTR). With 150+ out-of-the-box integrations, deliver flawless services worldwide. Perform distributed tracing, live code profiling, and exception tracking to identify the root cause of application performance issues.

Deliver an Integrated APM Experience

Collecting NGINX metrics is vital as each metric represents how well the application is performing. Together, Pingdom and AppOptics monitor NGINX key metrics to ensure both the server and the infrastructure are operating efficiently.

Web Server-Specific Metrics

• Current Connections: The number of active server connections such as bots, users, and automated tasks.
• Current Requests: The number of total requests per server coming through each connection.
• Connections Processed: The number of active or dropped connections handled by the server.

Infrastructure-Specific Metrics

• CPU Usage: CPU utilization is the usage of the machine and is often used to estimate system performance.
• Memory Usage: The amount of memory currently in use on the machine.
• Network Bandwidth: The amount of information flowing in and out of the system.
