Hey there guys !  
I'm encountering a very odd situation with configuring Metricbeat Nginx module.  
My Metricbeat requests to the Nginx server stuck on Waiting state on the Nginx.

I've set-up the stub status page :

```
location /server-status {
stub_status on;
access_log off;
allow all; 

```

Set-up the Metricbeat module:

```
metricbeat.modules:
- module: nginx
  metricsets: ["stubstatus"]
  enabled: true
  period: 10s

  # Nginx hosts
  hosts: ["127.0.0.1"]

  # Path to server status. Default server-status
  server_status_path: "server-status" 

```

Tried to get the Metricbeat work both from the Nginx server host and from another server,  
And unfortunately the Metricbeat requests stuck in 'Waiting' state on my Nginx server :

```
Active connections: 3

server accepts handled requests

400 400 558

Reading: 0 Writing: 1 Waiting: 2

```

Thank you guys,  
Raz Cohen.

Hi!

I would point you for reference to the configuration that is used in CI tests of this Module -\> [https://github.com/elastic/beats/blob/6003861532e39ae8624109711183c425ba8dc82e/metricbeat/module/nginx/\_meta/nginx.conf#L23](https://github.com/elastic/beats/blob/6003861532e39ae8624109711183c425ba8dc82e/metricbeat/module/nginx/_meta/nginx.conf#L23)

Could you try with something like this in combination with the [docs](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/metricbeat/current/metricbeat-module-nginx.html) configuration for the module?

C.
