Status of shared memory zones

[ltning-nginx at anduin.net]

Hi,

Let me start with a (belated) thank you to all contributors for the continued work on freenginx. We are in the process of switching to it - late but hopefully good!

In the commercial F5 nginx, there has for some time been ways to monitor the status/usage of shared memory zones and (presumably) some other run-time stats that remain opaque to users of the community version. I'm wondering if there are any such facilities in freenginx - implemented or planned? It would be nice if the VTS plugin could emit some statistics, for example.

We would be quite interested in such a feature, but realise it will be a fair amount of work for a relatively narrow audience. Is there any way we can "encourage" such functionality to be added, e.g. through financial support or some other means? We might even be able to produce code to do it, but would prefer if it was done by someone who is already familiar with (free)nginx and its architecture - we have no such people on-hand.

Thanks again,
wbr
