ngxctl 0.1.5

A command-line tool for managing and analyzing Nginx.

ngxctl - Real-time Metrics for Nginx Server

Project Overview

1. Rebuilt based on the ngxtop project and adapted for actual usage scenarios.
2. The core principle remains the same: parsing log contents and storing them in SQLite, displaying top statistics in real-time using GROUP BY. As such, it is not suitable for long-term operation.
