There are several 3rd modules to extend nginx status output in github, but only the https://github.com/vozlt/nginx-module-vts is listed on nginx.com 3rd party modules.

So, how about support the nginx-module-vts json output?

Wow, what a great plugin! I just read the README and it seems that it would return virtualhost status at any given URL. Am I correct? So, it basically work like Nginx Plus status :) It's definitely a good idea to implement a new data collector for that :)

Is someone already working on this one? I think I might.

Hi @andrestc i guess not. If you like to work on this, you may consider adding that to https://github.com/elastic/beats/tree/master/metricbeat/. (I'm moving nginxbeat to metricbeat and so it gets updates from elastic team.)

That sounds good. I'll try to get to it in the following weeks.

@andrestc Have a look at the create metricset guide: https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/metricbeat/current/creating-metricsets.html Let me know if you have some issues.
