nginx status: count requests before or after forwarding to backend server?

[Grzegorz Sienko]

Hi

Nginx counting all connections - from client to nginx and from nginx
to backend (apache/fascgi/whatever), so, nginx handle 10k req/s and
apache 2k.

Little simple math :)

apache 2k
nginx proxy (connection client-apache, nginx as proxy) - 2k time 2 = 4k
nginx all connection 10k
nginx static connection, where backend is not involved (nginx all
connection minus proxy) - 10k minus 4k = 6k

Does nginx count a request that is forwarded to Apache and increments its total number of requests in nginx-status? Or does this mean that the 10000 requests per second are what is handled by nginx, not counting the forwarded requests to Apache?
