Troubleshooting NGINX with New Relic observability
Blog post from New Relic
NGINX, a high-performance web server, reverse proxy server, and load balancer, often requires troubleshooting which can be efficiently managed using the New Relic observability platform. This platform provides real-time performance data, visualizations, and analytics, making it an ideal tool for diagnosing common NGINX issues such as high latency, 502 Bad Gateway errors, 504 Gateway Timeout errors, and SSL/TLS configuration problems. By utilizing New Relic's application performance monitoring, infrastructure monitoring, and synthetics capability, users can identify bottlenecks, analyze server performance, and test SSL/TLS configurations to ensure optimal server performance. The article emphasizes the importance of having a New Relic account and installing the New Relic agent on the NGINX server to leverage these troubleshooting capabilities.
