ngxtop 0.0.1

Real-time metrics for nginx server

ngxtop parses your nginx access log and outputs useful, top-like, metrics of your nginx server. So you can tell what is happening with your server in real-time.

Installation

pip install ngxtop

Note: ngxtop is primarily developed and tested with python2 but also supports python3.

Usage

Usage:
    ngxtop [options]
    ngxtop [options] (print|top|avg|sum) <var>

    -l <file>, --access-log <file>  access log file to parse.
    -f <format>, --log-format <format>  log format as specify in log_format directive.
    --no-follow  ngxtop default behavior is to ignore current lines in log
                     and only watch for new lines as they are written to the access log.
                     Use this flag to tell ngxtop to process the current content of the access log instead.
    -t <seconds>, --interval <seconds>  report interval when running in follow mode [default: 2.0]
