Configuration

Edit the python.d/nginx_plus.conf configuration file using edit-config from the Netdata config directory, which is typically at /etc/netdata.

cd /etc/netdata   # Replace this path with your Netdata config directory, if different
sudo ./edit-config python.d/nginx_plus.conf

Needs only url to server's status.

Here is an example for a local server:

local:
  url     : 'http://localhost/status'

Without configuration, module fail to start.
