NGINX Upstream Check

Overview

Read the status output of the nginx_upstream_check. This module can periodically check the servers in the Nginx's upstream with configured request and interval to determine if the server is still available. If checks are failed the server is marked as "down" and will not receive any requests until the check will pass and a server will be marked as "up" again.

The status page displays the current status of all upstreams and servers as well as number of the failed and successful checks. This information can be exported in JSON format and parsed by this input.
