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.

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
