    Description : Nginx virtual host traffic status module

    This is an Nginx module that provides access to virtual host status information. It contains the current status such as servers,
    upstreams, caches. This is similar to the live activity monitoring of
    nginx plus. The built-in html is also taken from the demo page of old
    version.

    ----

    This module provides more in-depth stats than the ones provided by the
    built-in statistics module, crippled by its opencore/non-free
    counterpart only available in nginx plus.

    There's already another nginx exporter in Debian, but it proxies (and
    rewrites) the requests to the builtin stats module, with limited
    effect. It cannot, for example, count bytes or examine hit ratios, nor per-vhost usage stats.

    I'm not sure I'm going to package this myself, and I don't know if it
    should be shipped alongside nginx-full: it seems to me it would be
    better as its own standalone module, would love to hear thoughts from
    the nginx maintainers as well..

    I would definitely need this at torproject.org. We're using nginx more
    and more, and the stats we're able to extract from the components
    available in debian pale in comparison with what we have in the apache exporter, for example.
