Grafana dashboard: NGINX Log Metrics
Description: NGINX Log metrics with Prometheus based on https://www.martin-helmich.de/en/blog/monitoring-nginx.html. Based on namespace prefix 'nginx'. If different, you may need to adjust the metrics.

Setup the [Prometheus NGINX Log Exporter](https://github.com/martin-helmich/prometheus-nginxlog-exporter), then use this dashboard to view important metrics.
