- This embedded collector gathers vital performance and health metrics for both NGINX and the underlying instance it operates on.
37
35
- For example, it tracks key metrics such as active connections, requests per second, HTTP status codes, and response times. Additionally, it collects system-level data, including CPU usage, memory consumption, and disk I/O. These insights provide deep observability into NGINX's behavior, enabling teams to troubleshoot issues effectively, optimize performance, and maintain high availability.

- Collected metrics can be seamlessly exported to the NGINX One Console or integrated with third-party data aggregators.

- The NGINX One Cloud Console includes:
84

- Command Server to manage NGINX configurations, push new/updated configuration files remotely, perform integrity tests, and automatically roll back to last good configuration if issues are detected.
85

- OpenTelemetry (OTel) Receiver that receives observability data from connected Agent instances.

- An Agent Process running on the NGINX Instance. The Agent is responsible for:
87
+
- Watching, applying, validating, and managing rollback operations on NGINX configuration files.
88

- Embedding an OpenTelemetry Collector, collecting metrics from both NGINX processes and host system performance data, then securely passing metric data to the NGINX One Cloud Console.

- Collected data is made available on the NGINX One Cloud Console for monitoring, alerting, troubleshooting, and capacity planning purposes.
