Alternatives
While nginx natively only provides the small set of metrics this exporter
provides, nginx-module-vts
adds extensive metrics that can be consumed by:
- Standalone Prometheus Exporter: https://github.com/hnlq715/nginx-vts-exporter
- Kubernetes NGINX Ingres controller: https://github.com/kubernetes/ingress-nginx/blob/master/docs/examples/customization/custom-vts-metrics-prometheus/README.md
