plugins/http-requests: documentation and tutorial #1879
Conversation
| The UI shows the number of requests as a single value and graph which are updated every second. | ||
| The HTTP requests plugin does not use any application-level instrumentation, it has a negligible performance toll (metrics are obtained in-kernel without any packet copying to userspace). | ||
|
|
||
| **Note:** This plugin needs a [recent kernel version with eBPF support](https://github.com/iovisor/bcc/blob/master/INSTALL.md#kernel-configuration). |

| * Run the HTTP requests plugin `cd examples/plugins/http-requests ; make`. | ||
| * In another terminal, run an `nginx` instance `docker run --name http-requests-nginx -p 8080:80 nginx` | ||
| * Run `sh test-http-requests.sh`, this script will open a long-term connection with the web server and then start downloading the main page until Ctrl+c is sent by the user. |
