Analyzer ngx-loaded-modules

# Name

ngx-loaded-modules - Nginx Loaded Modules

This analyzer retrieves all the Nginx modules loaded in the target process. It enumerates the module list from the Nginx internals and outputs a table containing the index and name of each loaded module. This is useful for inspecting which modules are compiled into or dynamically loaded by the running Nginx instance.
