+C<nginx daemon> (speak: engineE<nbsp>X), a HTTP and mail server/proxy. It
+queries the page provided by the C<ngx_http_stub_status_module> module, which
+isn't compiled by default. Please refer to
+L<http://wiki.codemongers.com/NginxStubStatusModule> for more information on
+how to compile and configure nginx and this module.
+
+The following options are accepted by the C<nginx plugin>:

+and are checked by default depends on the distribution you use.
