Ngxtop
ngxtop is a real-time web server dashboard and traffic analyzer that transforms raw Nginx access logs into immediate visual metrics. It functions as a live monitor for tracking request rates, response codes, and bandwidth usage by parsing server logs as they are written.
The tool extracts performance data from combined, common, and JSON log structures. It uses these parsed logs to identify high-traffic endpoints and server error patterns for troubleshooting.
The system processes log streams through a pipeline that includes schema-based extraction, record filtering via evaluatable expressions, and stateful metric aggregation. This allows for the calculation of request counts and frequency totals by grouping log records around specific variables.
Features
