how to start nginx-vts-exporter in gitlab9.4...

[denglitong]

Here I'm so sorry..but I really can not solve it. my problem is, how to install and start nginx-vts-exporter correctly. i install gitlab with rpm and it's version is 9.4.2, i do as the guide md but not get expected result, i add the config in : /var/opt/gitlab/nginx/conf/nginx.conf

server { listen 9914; server_name 10.21.20.124;

  location /status {
      vhost_traffic_status_display;
      vhost_traffic_status_display_format html;
  }   

}

but in this way i can not restart the nginx with gitlab-ctl restart nginx which will raise a timeout error. due to not configing nginx correct so when i run nginx-vts-exporter: nohup /bin/nginx-vts-exporter -nginx.scrape_uri=http://localhost:9914/status/format/json it will tell get timeout error.

i am not sure it's a right place to ask this ques, but i really don't know when to find help. you know the doc is rare for me, thanks really much! waitting for your responce. other: install nginx-vts-exporter with command go get github.com/hnlq715/nginx-vts-exporter and start nginx-vts-exporter in the dir GOPATH/bin/

change server_name to localhost and retry 😄

After changing ip to localhost, here is what i get from gitlab-ctl: [root@SZX1000347429 conf]# gitlab-ctl restart nginx timeout: down: nginx: 1s, normally up, want up

I see that the installation for the nginx-modult-vts has

1.Clone the git repository. shell> git clone git://github.com/vozlt/nginx-module-vts.git 2.Add the module to the build configuration by adding --add-module=/path/to/nginx-module-vts 3.Build the nginx binary. 4.Install the nginx binary.

So I wonder if it's that I don't add nginx-module-vts correctly to nginx in gitlab9.4 ? How to do it? Does it need to build and install nginx binary? Thanks so much!

Of course you should build a new nginx binary. try nginx -V and you can see if this module is installed.
