Enable nginx status page

Hi,

I would like to enable the following nginx status page:
https://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_stub_status_module.html

Using something like this:

Code:

location /nginx_status {
          stub_status;
          allow 127.0.0.1; #only allow requests from localhost
          deny all; #deny all other hosts
}

What is the best way to do this?

 

Just one so its only visible when going to:
http://127.0.0.1/status

 

Works if you add a domain, do you know if it can work for just:
http://127.0.0.1/status

 

I think you can simply add it in your ISPConfig apps.vhost, with your PC public ip instead, test then restart nginx and view it from there. You also don't need to use /nginx_status as it can be /anything/that/you/like in its place. And if you need to protect that named path for nginx status, I assume you may also add username and password to it to strengthen its security. But except for the first one, I won't do all that simply to view basic nginx status.
