NGINX Prometheus Exporter for NGINX and NGINX Plus
NGINX Prometheus exporter fetches the metrics from a single NGINX or NGINX Plus,
converts the metrics into appropriate Prometheus metrics types and finally exposes
them via an HTTP server to be collected by Prometheus.
Enable snaps on Ubuntu and install NGINX Prometheus Exporter
Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.
Snaps are discoverable and installable from the Snap Store, an app store with an audience of millions.
For versions of Ubuntu between 14.04 LTS (Trusty Tahr) and 15.10 (Wily Werewolf), as well as Ubuntu flavours that don’t include snap by default, snap can be installed from the Ubuntu Software Centre by searching for snapd.
Alternatively, snapd can be installed from the command line:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install snapd
Either log out and back in again, or restart your system, to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly.
