Configuration

Depending on whether you have manually compiled NGINX or the precompiled package you are using, the module "ngx_http_stub_status_module" may or may not be installed, to check if it is or not you can use the following command: 

 nginx -V | grep -o with-http_stub_status_module

with-http_stub_status_module 

 In this example we see that it is installed so we can use it, otherwise we must compile NGINX by adding the module: 

 ./configure \

 --prefix=/opt/nginx \

 --sbin-path=/opt/nginx/sbin \

 --conf-path=/opt/nginx/nginx.conf \

 --pid-path=/opt/nginx/run/nginx.pid \

 --with-http_ssl_module \

 --with-http_gzip_static_module \

 --with-http_stub_status_module 

 Status configuration in NGINX 

 Let's declare status in the nginx.conf file located in /etc/nginx. 

 

 Add /status to the right of location, as shown in the image.
