What does "initctl status nginx" say?

inspeqtorctl status shows host stats, but nothing for the nginx service:

Here you go:

# initctl status nginx
initctl: Unknown job: nginx

Inspeqtor does not monitor legacy services in /etc/init.d. You'd need to convert nginx to use Upstart. You can see the set of Upstart services in /etc/init and here's the wiki page on Upstart

I will add a feature to Inspeqtor to list which jobs are available for monitoring and which ones are not so this is easier for users to understand.

Ah, ok, fair enough. I guess I was expecting that, since Ubuntu 14.04 and nginx feature in the docs as examples of what "works", that it would just work out of the box. :) I guess this is good to know, as you'll probably get a lot of this question!

FWIW, I'm using the nginx.org PPA. I haven't tried the Ubuntu packaged nginx, so I don't know if it ships with upstart support.

Got it, thanks for the detail, that's really good to know. I'd hope the Ubuntu-native package is using Upstart.
