Once loaded, NGINX instances can be monitored by creating Discovery tasks from the Management > Discovery > Application > NGINX section.

For each task the following minimum data will be requested in the NGINX Basic step:

• NGINX Status URLs: NGINX stub_status endpoint URLs, separated by commas or one per line. Each URL will generate an agent.
• Username: username for the NGINX endpoint if it requires HTTP basic authentication, optional
• Password: password for the NGINX endpoint if it requires HTTP basic authentication, optional
• Verify SSL: active if the URL SSL certificate needs to be verified, inactive by default
• Transfer mode: transfer mode (native or tentacle), optional
• Tentacle IP: tentacle IP, optional
• Tentacle port: tentacle port, optional

In the NGINX Advanced step additional options can be configured:

• Module prefix: prefix to add to all created module names, optional
• Request timeout: maximum wait time for the HTTP request in seconds, optional (default 10)
• Allow list: regular expression to include only modules whose name matches, optional
• Deny list: regular expression to exclude modules whose name matches, optional

Successfully completed tasks will show an execution summary with the following information:

• Total agents : Total number of agents generated by the task.
• Total modules: Total number of modules generated by the task.
