  • mtail

    extract internal monitoring data from application logs for collection in a timeseries database

  • For nginx, you'll need to setup a log parser like mtail because it doesn't really have much for metrics to begin with.

  • Alternatively, you can replace nginx with something more modern like Caddy Server. It provides built-in metrics-based monitoring.

  • If you want the least amount of config to get everything you're looking for, Netdata is the one to use. https://github.com/netdata/netdata
