Hello there,

I am moving some services to FreeBSD. Seems like nginx-amplify is not
ready for FreeBSD or it needs some tweaks to install. Are there other
third party monitor that plays well with NGINX and FreeBSD? thanks in
advance.

I use `LibreNMS` for metrics, as seen [in this
tweet](https://twitter.com/DLangille/status/1378302267921686532).

I know nothing about `nginx-amplify`, what is you want to monitor?

Apparently a premium monitoring by nginx themselves:

We're using Prometheus plus Grafana and the apropriate exporters. Has
the benefit that you don't need a different monitoring for another
software.

Thanks.

It seems difficult to get example graphs. I tried. I gave up after
30s.

If you have a project, don't be shy about sharing what it does. Don't
make me sign up just to find out what it can do for me.

Thanks for your answer! I follow your answers and videos on YouTube
which cleared me the way with jails and zfs. Which lead me to this.

Amplify is a free (for 5 hosts) monitor for nginx. It has install
script for debian Ubuntu CentOS redhat. And an experimental for
freebsd. I'm moving some of my webservers to jails.

I'm glad they helped.

Hopefully, the experiment leads to something.

Jails for webservers are great.

Netdata is great, Prometheus/Grafana will do it too.

That's a bit ironic - Nginx was created with FreeBSD in mind, by
persons who preferred FreeBSD over Linux (i've talked with them) and
now one of the products of Nginx family has "experimental for freebsd"
support. That's deep.
