Lighttpd monitoring with Netdata

Lighttpd is an open-source web server optimized for speed-critical environments while remaining standards-compliant, secure and flexible

This module will monitor one or more Lighttpd servers, depending on your configuration.

Requirements

• lighttpd with enabled mod_status.

Metrics

All metrics have "lighttpd." prefix.

Metric	Scope	Dimensions	Units
requests	global	requests	requests/s
net	global	sent	kilobits/s
workers	global	idle, busy	servers
scoreboard	global	waiting, open, close, hard_error, keepalive, read, read_post, write, handle_request, request_start, request_end,	connections
uptime	global	uptime	seconds

Configuration

Edit the go.d/lighttpd.conf configuration file using edit-config from the Netdata config directory, which is typically at /etc/netdata.

cd /etc/netdata # Replace this path with your Netdata config directory
sudo ./edit-config go.d/lighttpd.conf

Needs only url to server's server-status?auto. Here is an example for 2 servers:

jobs:
  - name: local
    url: http://127.0.0.1/server-status?auto

  - name: remote
    url: http://203.0.113.10/server-status?auto

For all available options please see module configuration file.

Troubleshooting

To troubleshoot issues with the lighttpd collector, run the go.d.plugin with the debug option enabled. The output should give you clues as to why the collector isn't working.

• Navigate to the plugins.d directory, usually at /usr/libexec/netdata/plugins.d/. If that's not the case on your system, open netdata.conf and look for the plugins setting under [directories].

  cd /usr/libexec/netdata/plugins.d/
  

• Switch to the netdata user.

  sudo -u netdata -s
  

• Run the go.d.plugin to debug the collector:

  ./go.d.plugin -d -m lighttpd
