# Enabling metrics and graphs for NginX logs (optional)
It can be useful to have some (visual) insight into [nginx](https://nginx.org/) logs.
This adds [prometheus-nginxlog-exporter](https://github.com/martin-helmich/prometheus-nginxlog-exporter/) to your Matrix deployment.
The playbook can install and configure the [prometheus-nginxlog-exporter](https://github.com/martin-helmich/prometheus-nginxlog-exporter/) service for you, in order to make it possible to have some (visual) insight into [nginx](https://nginx.org/) logs.
It will collect access logs from various nginx reverse-proxies which may be used internally (e.g. `matrix-synapse-reverse-proxy-companion`, if Synapse workers are enabled) and will make them available at a Prometheus-compatible `/metrics` endpoint.
See the project's [documentation](https://github.com/martin-helmich/prometheus-nginxlog-exporter/blob/master/README.adoc) to learn what it does and why it might be useful to you.
**Note**: nginx is only used internally by this Ansible playbook. With Traefik being our default reverse-proxy, collecting nginx metrics is less relevant.
## Prerequisite
To make use of this, you need to install [Prometheus](./configuring-playbook-prometheus-grafana.md) either via the playbook or externally. When using an external Prometheus, configuration adjustments are necessary — see [Save metrics on an external Prometheus server](#save-metrics-on-an-external-prometheus-server).
If your setup includes [Grafana](./configuring-playbook-prometheus-grafana.md), a dedicated `NGINX PROXY` Grafana dashboard will be created.
