Hi! Is it possible to query the number of busy/idle unicorn workers? For scaling purposes, I would like to be able to see the utilisation of the unicorn workers, so I will know if I need to deploy more servers in peak hours or not. Currently the only measure I have is when machines top out and start serving 502's. I am not interested in queueing up requests, as the approach is to instead spin up additional capacity when needed.
I notice on http://demo.nginx.com/status.html that one of the metrics under 'demoupstreams' is the number of active connections. I wonder if that metric is exposed by nginx somehow, or if this is something only available in nginx plus. Suggestions for alternative approaches to this is appreciated. Ideally, I would like a metric that I can consume and pump into our monitoring tools with a fairly high resolution.
