Thanks for that. It's a little more than I wanted as all I really need is the
total number of requests and let Xymon work out the number of requests per
second. As it turns out, it is just a few lines of Perl and works well :-)

I should perhaps add that I did also take a look at the Xymon code itself.
Looking at the 'apache' test, it should be possible to cater for Nginx (I'm
wary to say "relatively easily"!) The required URL changes from '/server-
status?auto' for Apache to '/server-status' for Nginx. Secondly, the status
output would need to be modified since obviously the output lines are different
between Apache and Nginx. The rest of the code for the 'apache' test would then
basically be the same for a new 'nginx' test. I haven't got time at the moment
to code this and test, but we still have some other servers to move from Apache
to Nginx, so I may have a bit more time then to look at modifying Xymon.
