+=head1 NAME
+
+nginx error - Munin plugin to monitor nginx error rates (http status codes per minute).
+
+=head1 APPLICABLE SYSTEMS
+
+Any Linux host, running nginx, with bash version > 4.0
+
+=head1 CONFIGURATION
+
+This shows the default configuration of this plugin.  You can override
+the log file path and the logpattern.
+
+  [nginx_error]
+	env.logpath    /var/log/nginx
+	env.logpattern a.*.log
+
+	Nginx must also be configured to log accesses in "combined" log format (default)
+
+=head1 USAGE
+
+Link this plugin to /etc/munin/plugins/ and restart the munin-node.
+
+This plugin also can be used like wildcard-plugin for monitoring particular virtual host log.
+E.g.
+    ln -s /usr/share/munin/plugins/nginx_error /etc/munin/plugins/nginx_error_mydomaincom
+will parse the log file /var/log/nginx/a.mydomaincom.log
+
+You can change 'env.logpattern' using asterisk ('*') to match your logs filenames.
+
+=head1 INTERPRETATION
+
+The plugin shows nginx http "error" status rates by parsing access log.
