+# Nginx monitoring
+## Nginx performance from nginx-lua-prometheus
+The [nginx-lua-prometheus](https://github.com/openresty/lua-nginx-module) is a lua library that can be used with Nginx to collect metrics 
+and expose them on a separate web page. 
+To use this library, you will need Nginx with [lua-nginx-module](https://github.com/openresty/lua-nginx-module) or directly [OpenResty](https://openresty.org/).
+
+SkyWalking leverages OpenTelemetry Collector to transfer the metrics to [OpenTelemetry receiver](opentelemetry-receiver.md) and into the [Meter System](./../../concepts-and-designs/meter.md).
+
+### Data flow
+1. [nginx-lua-prometheus](https://github.com/openresty/lua-nginx-module) collects metrics from Nginx and expose them to an endpoint.
+2. OpenTelemetry Collector fetches metrics from the endpoint expose above via Prometheus Receiver and pushes metrics to SkyWalking OAP Server via OpenTelemetry gRPC exporter.
+3. The SkyWalking OAP Server parses the expression with [MAL](../../concepts-and-designs/mal.md) to filter/calculate/aggregate and store the results.
+
+### Set up
+1. Collect Nginx metrics and expose the following four metrics by [nginx-lua-prometheus](https://github.com/openresty/lua-nginx-module). For details on metrics definition, refer to [here](../../../../test/e2e-v2/cases/nginx/nginx.conf).
+- histogram: nginx_http_latency
+- gauge: nginx_http_connections
+- counter: nginx_http_size_bytes
+- counter: nginx_http_requests_total
+
+2. Set up [OpenTelemetry Collector ](https://opentelemetry.io/docs/collector/getting-started/#docker). For details on Prometheus Receiver in OpenTelemetry Collector, refer to [here](../../../../test/e2e-v2/cases/nginx/otel-collector-config.yaml).
+3. Config SkyWalking [OpenTelemetry receiver](opentelemetry-receiver.md).
+
+### Nginx Monitoring
+
+SkyWalking observes the status, payload, and latency of the Nginx server, which is cataloged as a `LAYER: Nginx` `Service` in the OAP and instances would be recognized as `LAYER: Nginx` `instance`.
+
+About `LAYER: Nginx` `endpoint`, it depends on how precision you want to monitor the nginx.
+We do not recommend expose every request path metrics, because it will cause explosion of metrics endpoint data.
+
+You can collect host metrics:
+```
+http {
+  log_by_lua_block {
+      metric_bytes:inc(tonumber(ngx.var.request_length), {"request", ngx.var.host})
+      metric_bytes:inc(tonumber(ngx.var.bytes_send), {"response", ngx.var.host})
+      metric_requests:inc(1, {ngx.var.status, ngx.var.host})
+      metric_latency:observe(tonumber(ngx.var.request_time), {ngx.var.host})
+  }
+}
+```
+or grouped urls and upstream metrics:
+```
+upstream backend {
+  server ip:port;
+}
+
+server {
+
+  location /test {
+    default_type application/json;
+    return 200  '{"code": 200, "message": "success"}';
+
+    log_by_lua_block {
+      metric_bytes:inc(tonumber(ngx.var.request_length), {"request", "/test/**"})
+      metric_bytes:inc(tonumber(ngx.var.bytes_send), {"response", "/test/**"})
+      metric_requests:inc(1, {ngx.var.status, "/test/**"})
+      metric_latency:observe(tonumber(ngx.var.request_time), {"/test/**"})
+    }
+  }
+
+  location /test_upstream {
+
+    proxy_pass http://backend;
+
+    log_by_lua_block {
+      metric_bytes:inc(tonumber(ngx.var.request_length), {"request", "upstream/backend"})
+      metric_bytes:inc(tonumber(ngx.var.bytes_send), {"response", "upstream/backend"})
+      metric_requests:inc(1, {ngx.var.status, "upstream/backend"})
+      metric_latency:observe(tonumber(ngx.var.request_time), {"upstream/backend"})
+    }
+  }
+}
+```

+### Customizations
+You can customize your own metrics/expression/dashboard panel.

+
+The Nginx dashboard panel configurations are found in `/config/ui-initialized-templates/nginx`.
+
+## Collect nginx access and error log
+SkyWalking leverages [fluentbit](https://fluentbit.io/) or other log agents for collecting access log and error log of Nginx.
+
+### Data flow
+1. fluentbit agent collects access log and error log from Nginx.
+2. fluentbit agent sends data to SkyWalking OAP Server using native meter APIs via HTTP.
+3. The SkyWalking OAP Server parses the expression with [LAL](../../concepts-and-designs/lal.md) to parse/extract and store the results.
+
+### Set up
+1. Install [fluentbit](https://docs.fluentbit.io/manual/installation/docker).
+2. Config fluent bit with fluent-bit.conf, refer to [here](../../../../test/e2e-v2/cases/nginx/fluent-bit.conf).
+
+### Error Log Monitoring
+Error Log monitoring provides monitoring of the error.log of the Nginx server.
+
+#### Supported Metrics

+
+### Customizations
+You can customize your own metrics/expression/dashboard panel.
+
+The log collect and analyse rules are found in `/config/lal/nginx.yaml`, `/config/log-mal-rules/nginx.yaml`.
+
