How to deny access to Nginx Stats URL?

Question

linux

There is a server c location:

location /nginx_status {
        stub_status on;
        access_log   off;
        allow 127.0.0.1;
        deny all;
}

Nearby lies another server with cacti configured to work with nginx. Stops drawing graphs if you set the settings

allow 127.0.0.1;
deny all;

Even if you write allow 127.0.0.1;

Answer 1

About write in the allow the address of the server, you go in some way, you are not polling the localhost
