To get started with NGINX monitoring, you should first enable the [VTS statistics](https://github.com/vozlt/nginx-module-vts)) module for your NGINX server. This will capture and display statistics in an HTML readable form. Next, you should install and configure the [NGINX VTS exporter](https://github.com/hnlq715/nginx-vts-exporter) which parses these statistics and translates them into a Prometheus monitoring endpoint.
If you are using NGINX as your Kubernetes ingress, there is [upcoming direct support](https://github.com/kubernetes/ingress/pull/423) for enabling Prometheus monitoring in the 0.9.0 release.
If you are using NGINX as your Kubernetes ingress, GitLab will [automatically detect](nginx_ingress.md) the metrics once enabled in 0.9.0 and later releases.
