Hello,

i'm a newbie on Nginx and i have this problem :

We have Nginx as reverseproxy who point on a Java server (Platform play) - That's ok and work well :

https://www.toto.fr

Now we would like to point to our Nagios server when we enter this URL https://www.toto.fr/supervision/

For this, i have this block :

location /supervision {
proxy_pass http://IP_SERVER_NAGIOS/nagios/;
proxy_redirect off;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Ssl on;
access_log /var/log/nginx/supervision.access.log;
}

That's work too ! I access well on the start page of Nagios. But when i click on another link of Nagios web interface, Nginx doesn't find the pages because the links point to http://www.toto.fr/nagios/cgi-bin/.... and not to http://www.toto.fr/supervision/cgi-bin/...

What is the way to resolve this problem ? an 'if' condition, a rewrite URL, a new location block ? Can you help me please ?

Thanks

Doctau

Either create a second location block (location /nagios {...) or update the folder name on the target device to match the existing. It will be difficult to catch absolutely everything with rewrites.

Hello Doctau,

I'm relatively new to nginx as well, but I think I can propose a solution to your problem. You could use a regular expression (flagged by ~) in your location path to match both /supervision and /nagios:

location ~ ^(/supervision|/nagios) {
---> // your config here
}

I haven't tested this, but I hope my regex fu hasn't failed me. The ^ character says that the match should start at the beginning of the given path expression, so it matches /supervision/bla and /nagios/bla but not /take/me/to/supervision or /hidden/nagios/hack.

For more info on the available options for the _location_ directive, check out the wiki page at http://wiki.nginx.org/HttpCoreModule#location.
