# Nginx stubstatus metricset
The Nginx `stubstatus` metricset collects data from the Nginx [ngx_http_stub_status](http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_stub_status_module.html) module. It scrapes the server status data from the web page generated by ngx_http_stub_status.
This is a default metricset. If the host module is unconfigured, this metricset is enabled by default.

## Fields
