nginx 状态详解

location /basic_status {
        stub_status on;
        access_log off;
        allow 127.0.0.1;
        deny all;
}

This configuration creates a simple web page with basic status data which may look like as follows:

Active connections: 291 
server accepts handled requests
 16630948 16630948 31070465 
Reading: 6 Writing: 179 Waiting: 106 

对以上结果的说明：
