Currently, the nginx_status endpoint is only accessible from within the pod, making it difficult for customers to monitor externally.

With this change, customers could supply custom nginx_status directives (e.g., allow/deny rules, custom locations) to expose and manage the status endpoint as needed. As per https://github.com/ansible/awx-operator/blob/2.19.1/roles/installer/templates/configmaps/config.yaml.j2.

This is an example of how to allow any IP but can be restricted to k8s CIDR:

kind: AWX
metadata:
  name: awx
spec:
  service_type: clusterip
  ingress_type: Route
  nginx_extra_config: |
    location /nginx_status {
      stub_status on;
      access_log off;
      allow all;
    }
