Graphite nginx requests per second

Is there any way how to get Graphite to graph req/s ?

When you retrieve nginx requests from nginx_status you are sending an absolute value to the graphite, so I'm thinking if there is any way how you can get the rate per second ?

My understanding is that derivative(series) would give you requests/minute but I could really use requests/s.

Cheers.

Solution

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

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

    Anyone sees any problems with this ?
