The NGINX Web Server Agent monitors NGINX web servers and NGINX reverse proxy. It provides end-to-end visibility into the application performance. It is an open-source agent, which makes it cost-effective and secure. Below are some of its key features:
The correlation of Business Transactions from upstream web server agents to downstream agents (updated Java, Node.js, and .Net agents) helps you resolve issues faster.
The implementation of OpenTelemetry does not require a proxy to communicate with the Controller. However, it requires OpenTelemetry Collector to communicate with the Splunk AppDynamics backend.
The NGINX Web Server Agent emits traces based on OpenTelemetry specification. The Splunk AppDynamics backend converts these traces into usable metrics like Calls Per Minute, Average Response Time, etc.
