nginx unknown directive health_check

Question

I am new to nginx. I am using -

health_check uri=/some/uri

but on running the test with this command -

 sudo /usr/sbin/nginx -t -c /etc/nginx/nginx.conf

I get the following error -

nginx: [emerg] unknown directive "health_check" in /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/abc.conf:121

Can someone tell what is wrong here..? I have used apache2 to do all jing-bang but I do not have much knowledge about nginx..

Answer 1

According to Nginx docs :

This directive is available as part of nginx commercial subscription.
