 ### Enable NGINX Plus API

+<!-- {{< include "/use-cases/monitoring/enable-nginx-plus-api.md" >}} -->
+To collect metrics for NGINX Plus, add the following to your NGINX Plus configuration file:
+
+```nginx
+# Enable the /api/ location with appropriate access control
+# to use the NGINX Plus API.
+#
+location /api/ {
+    api write=on;
+    allow 127.0.0.1;
+    deny all;
+}
+```
+
+This configuration:
+
+- Enables the NGINX Plus API.
+- Allows requests only from `127.0.0.1` (localhost).
+- Blocks all other requests for security.
+
+After saving the changes, reload NGINX to apply the new configuration:
+
+```shell
+nginx -s reload
+```
