Nginx Monitoring Without Modules

Get complete visibility into Nginx performance without installing any modules or changing configurations. Monitor every request, upstream health, and cache performance using kernel-level eBPF technology.

Request Visibility

Complete Nginx Observability

Monitor every aspect of your Nginx servers without any modifications

Request-Level Visibility

Capture every HTTP request with latency, status codes, and upstream response times using eBPF

No Module Required

Monitor Nginx without installing modules, changing configs, or restarting the server

Real User Monitoring

Track actual user experience with request latency percentiles and error rates per location

SSL/TLS Insights

Monitor SSL handshake times, certificate expiry, and cipher suite usage automatically

Upstream Health

Track upstream server response times, error rates, and connection pool metrics

Cache Performance

Monitor cache hit rates, bypass reasons, and cache storage utilization

Zero-Touch Monitoring

1

eBPF HTTP Capture

Kernel-level probes capture HTTP requests and responses without touching Nginx. Works with any Nginx version, any configuration.

2

Process Detection

Automatically discovers all Nginx master and worker processes. No need to specify PIDs or configure anything.

3

Instant Metrics

Real-time metrics start flowing immediately. Request rates, latencies, errors, and upstream health with zero configuration.

# Install HyperObserve - that's it!
curl -sSL https://install.hyperobserve.io | bash

# Nginx metrics start flowing automatically
# No nginx reload, no module installation, no config changes

Upstream Server Health

Per-Server Metrics

  • Response time distribution
  • Connection failures
  • Active connections
  • Request distribution

Load Balancing Insights

  • Request distribution fairness
  • Failover event tracking
  • Health check results
  • Retry statistics
