This project is superseded by https://github.com/elastic/beats/tree/master/metricbeat. Development will be continured in Metricbeat Nginx module. Nginx stub status is already available in Metricbeat - elastic/beats#1642. Nginx plus statis is work in progress - elastic/beats#2329
Nginxbeat is the Beat used for Nginx monitoring. It is a lightweight agent that reads status from Nginx periodically. Nginx must either expose its status via stub module (http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_stub_status_module.html) or Nginx Plus status module (http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_status_module.html).
To apply Nginxbeat template for Nginx status:
curl -XPUT 'http://localhost:9200/_template/nginxbeat' -d@etc/nginxbeat.template.json
To load Nginxbeat default Kibana dashboard:
scripts/load.sh -url http://localhost:9200

Nginxbeat only exports several types of document. The properties in the document varies according to the configured Nginx status page.
