          location /monitor/monit {
-              rewrite ^/monitor/monit/(.*) /$1;
+              rewrite ^/monitor/monit/(.*) /$1   break;
               proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:2812;
          }

or, better:

          location /monitor/monit {
-              rewrite ^/monitor/monit/(.*) /$1;
-              proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:2812;
+              proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:2812/;
          }
