This README will give instructions on how to run the demonstration on how the NGINX agent can be used to report metrics using prometheus and grafana servers.
Run the following command from the root directory, to start up the agent grafana metrics example. This will create all the services listed in List of Services.
make clean-grafana-example build-grafana-example run-grafana-example
The services run by this example are listed below
| Service | Port |
|---|---|
| Grafana | 3000 |
| NGINX | 8080 |
| AGENT API | 8081 |
| Prometheus | 9090 |
Grafana Dashboard can be accessed locally via the url http://localhost:3000 with the "admin" as both username and password. On the home screen, select the NGINX Agent dashboard.
To generate data for the dashboard you can curl the NGINX instance. This will increase nginx_http_status_2xx on
ab -k -c 10 -n 10000 127.0.0.1:8080/
If you monitor the dashboard you'll see the graphs being populated.
Run the following command from the root directory to shut down example services.
make clean-grafana-example
