[RFE] Implement goaccess log analyzer for nginx API logs #520

Open sadsfae opened 2 months ago

sadsfae commented 2 months ago

This RFE covers implementing goaccess for our nginx reverse proxy component of QUADS to track API requests, frequency, performance, etc.

This can likely be implemented as an optional thing like we do our nginx SSL vhost config (because goaccess would need a vhost definition)

https://github.com/redhat-performance/quads/blob/latest/container/etc/nginx/conf.d/apiv3_ssl.conf.example

It should come with it's own easy documentation like enabling TLS:

Because goaccess requires a specific kind of nginx logging format this would need to change too in the main vhost(s) but we don't necessarily care about that so I don't see it as an intrusive change.
