Graphical nginx requests per second

Question

Is there any way to get Graphite for req / s chart?

When you retrieve nginx requests from nginx_status, you send the absolute value to graphite, so I think if you can get the speed per second?

I understand that derivative(series) will provide you with requests / minute, but I can really use requests / s.

Greetings.

Answer 1

I'm not sure if this is the right way to do this, but it seems like this is a trick

 scaleToSeconds(derivative(stats.*.*.*.nginx.handles),1) 

Anyone see any problems with this?

Answer 2

Launch your nginx access logs through Logster, which will process the data and forward some interesting metrics - including requests per second, if you want - to Graphite.
