This is provided by leveraging the [NGINX VTS exporter](https://github.com/hnlq715/nginx-vts-exporter), which translates [VTS statistics](https://github.com/vozlt/nginx-module-vts) into a Prometheus readable form. + +## Metrics supported + +| Name | Query | +| ---- | ----- | +| Throughput (req/sec) | sum(rate(nginx_requests_total{server_zone!="*", server_zone!="_", %{environment_filter}}[2m])) | +| Latency (ms) | avg(nginx_upstream_response_msecs_avg{%{environment_filter}}) | +| HTTP Error Rate (HTTP Errors / sec) | rate(nginx_responses_total{status_code="5xx", %{environment_filter}}[2m])) | + +## Configuring Prometheus to monitor for NGINX metrics + +To get started with NGINX monitoring, you should first enable the [VTS statistics](https://github.com/vozlt/nginx-module-vts)) module for your NGINX server. This will capture and display statistics in an HTML readable form. Next, you should install and configure the [NGINX VTS exporter](https://github.com/hnlq715/nginx-vts-exporter) which parses these statistics and translates them into a Prometheus monitoring endpoint. + +If you are using NGINX as your Kubernetes ingress, there is [upcoming direct support](https://github.com/kubernetes/ingress/pull/423) for enabling Prometheus monitoring in the 0.9.0 release. + +## Specifying the Environment label + +In order to isolate and only display relevant metrics for a given environment +however, GitLab needs a method to detect which labels are associated. To do this, GitLab will [look for an `environment` label](metrics.md#identifying-environments). |
