Why not just log needed numbers ($bytes_sent) to access_log and post-process
it with anything you want?
I might be forced to do this right now. That means millions of lines
per day on 3 servers to combine, merge and calculate...
I'm sure it would be simple for someone to write a module that dumps
out Host: header stats to a file every so often (one per day) ...
*fingers crossed*
It's not simple "dump out Host: header", it's shared memory,
locking mutex for each request, loosing stats on binary upgrade,
etc, etc.
I see no reason why this can't be done from access_logs by simple
perl script - either running side-by-side with nginx but perfectly
restarable whenever you want, or periodically run at low-load
periods.
We used to run similar script for calculation of average
$upstream_response_time for monitoring purposes and as far as I
recall it took less than 1% cpu on not-really-fast machine with
more than 10 mln log lines per day.
