Ok.

Not at the moment. If you want this kind of information, I recommend HAProxy. In addition to providing machine-readable per-backend stats, it also renders the same information as an HTML page:

Kind of a big limitation with fair if it provides ZERO instrumentation.

I also see the following error in syslog, but I'm unsure if it is related....

nginx[17280]: segfault at 00007fffa0869fd0 rip 00002ac509ea61e3 rsp 00007fffa0869ed0 error 6

That's a segment fault -- ie., Nginx is crashing on you.

Alexander.

Yeah, I just don't know if it is related to fair. Perhaps the debug log will help.

Guess I'll have to start looking at HAProxy, but I'd rather not.
