Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/0xJacky/nginx-ui/issues/1366

Describe the bug
I am unable to enable stub_status in nginx-ui. Even though Nginx is running normally and the stub_status page works when accessed directly in the browser, nginx-ui does not detect or display stub_status metrics, and there seems to be no way to activate it from the dashboard.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Configure Nginx normally with a stub_status location.
Open nginx-ui dashboard.
Leave StubStatusPort empty in the nginx-ui config.
Observe that stub_status cannot be enabled and no metrics appear.

Expected behavior
nginx-ui should allow enabling stub_status and display metrics such as active connections, accepts, handled requests, etc., similar to accessing the stub_status page directly in a browser.

Screenshots

Info (please complete the following information):

Server OS: Ubuntu 24.04.3 LTS x86_64
Server Arch: x86_64
Nginx UI Version: Nginx UI v2
Your Browser: Chrome

Additional context
Nginx is running normally.

Log files exist and are writable.

Running nginx -t passes without errors.

Accessing the stub_status URL directly in a browser works perfectly.

Hi @ZenKho-chill,
Can you execute "journalctl -fu nginx-ui" in the terminal, and then try to open the switch in the browser to see what error is displayed in the console?

Thanks!
