-# LiteSpeed collector
-
-Collects web server performance metrics for network, connection, requests, and cache.
-
-It produces:
-
-1. **Network Throughput HTTP** in kilobits/s
-
- - in
- - out
-
-2. **Network Throughput HTTPS** in kilobits/s
-
- - in
- - out
-
-3. **Connections HTTP** in connections
-
- - free
- - used
-
-4. **Connections HTTPS** in connections
-
- - free
- - used
-
-5. **Requests** in requests/s
-
- - requests
-
-6. **Requests In Processing** in requests
-
- - processing
-
-7. **Public Cache Hits** in hits/s
-
- - hits
-
-8. **Private Cache Hits** in hits/s
-
- - hits

-9. **Static Hits** in hits/s
-
- - hits

-## Configuration
-
-Edit the `python.d/litespeed.conf` configuration file using `edit-config` from the Netdata [config
-directory](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/configure/nodes.md), which is typically at `/etc/netdata`.
-
-```bash
-cd /etc/netdata # Replace this path with your Netdata config directory, if different
-sudo ./edit-config python.d/litespeed.conf
-```
-
-```yaml
-local:
- path : 'PATH'
-```
-
-If no configuration is given, module will use "/tmp/lshttpd/".
-
-
-
-
-### Troubleshooting
-
-To troubleshoot issues with the `litespeed` module, run the `python.d.plugin` with the debug option enabled. The
-output will give you the output of the data collection job or error messages on why the collector isn't working.
-
-First, navigate to your plugins directory, usually they are located under `/usr/libexec/netdata/plugins.d/`. If that's
-not the case on your system, open `netdata.conf` and look for the setting `plugins directory`. Once you're in the
-plugin's directory, switch to the `netdata` user.
-
-```bash
-cd /usr/libexec/netdata/plugins.d/
-sudo su -s /bin/bash netdata
-```
-
-Now you can manually run the `litespeed` module in debug mode:
-
-```bash
-./python.d.plugin litespeed debug trace
-```

+# Litespeed
+
+
+<img src="https://netdata.cloud/img/litespeed.svg" width="150"/>
+
+
+Plugin: python.d.plugin
+Module: litespeed
+
+<img src="https://img.shields.io/badge/maintained%20by-Netdata-%2300ab44" />
+
+## Overview
+
+Examine Litespeed metrics for insights into web server operations. Analyze request rates, response times, and error rates for efficient web service delivery.
+
+The collector uses the statistics under /tmp/lshttpd to gather the metrics.
+
+This collector is supported on all platforms.
+
+This collector only supports collecting metrics from a single instance of this integration.
+
+
+### Default Behavior
+
+#### Auto-Detection
+
+If no configuration is present, the collector will attempt to read files under /tmp/lshttpd/.
+
+#### Limits
+
+The default configuration for this integration does not impose any limits on data collection.
+
+#### Performance Impact
+
+The default configuration for this integration is not expected to impose a significant performance impact on the system.
+
+
+## Metrics
+
+Metrics grouped by *scope*.
+
+The scope defines the instance that the metric belongs to. An instance is uniquely identified by a set of labels.
+
+
+
+### Per Litespeed instance
+
+These metrics refer to the entire monitored application.
+
+This scope has no labels.
+
+Metrics:
+
+| Metric | Dimensions | Unit |
+|:------|:----------|:----|
+| litespeed.net_throughput | in, out | kilobits/s |
+| litespeed.net_throughput | in, out | kilobits/s |
+| litespeed.connections | free, used | conns |
+| litespeed.connections | free, used | conns |
+| litespeed.requests | requests | requests/s |
+| litespeed.requests_processing | processing | requests |
+| litespeed.cache | hits | hits/s |
+| litespeed.cache | hits | hits/s |
+| litespeed.static | hits | hits/s |
+
+
+
+## Alerts
+
+There are no alerts configured by default for this integration.
+
+
+## Setup
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+No action required.
+
+### Configuration
+
+#### File
+
+The configuration file name for this integration is `python.d/litespeed.conf`.
+
+
+You can edit the configuration file using the `edit-config` script from the
+Netdata [config directory](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/configure/nodes.md#the-netdata-config-directory).
+
+```bash
+cd /etc/netdata 2>/dev/null || cd /opt/netdata/etc/netdata
+sudo ./edit-config python.d/litespeed.conf
+```
+#### Options
+
+There are 2 sections:
+
+* Global variables
+* One or more JOBS that can define multiple different instances to monitor.
+
+The following options can be defined globally: priority, penalty, autodetection_retry, update_every, but can also be defined per JOB to override the global values.
+
+Additionally, the following collapsed table contains all the options that can be configured inside a JOB definition.
+
+Every configuration JOB starts with a `job_name` value which will appear in the dashboard, unless a `name` parameter is specified.
+
+
+<details><summary>Config options</summary>
+
+| Name | Description | Default | Required |
+|:----|:-----------|:-------|:--------:|
+| update_every | Sets the default data collection frequency. | 5 | False |
+| priority | Controls the order of charts at the netdata dashboard. | 60000 | False |
+| autodetection_retry | Sets the job re-check interval in seconds. | 0 | False |
+| penalty | Indicates whether to apply penalty to update_every in case of failures. | yes | False |
+| name | Job name. This value will overwrite the `job_name` value. JOBS with the same name are mutually exclusive. Only one of them will be allowed running at any time. This allows autodetection to try several alternatives and pick the one that works. | | False |
+| path | Use a different path than the default, where the lightspeed stats files reside. | /tmp/lshttpd/ | False |
+
+</details>
+
+#### Examples
+
+##### Set the path to statistics
+
+Change the path for the litespeed stats files
+
+```yaml
+localhost:
+ name: 'local'
+ path: '/tmp/lshttpd'
+
+```
+
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Debug Mode
+
+To troubleshoot issues with the `litespeed` collector, run the `python.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]`.
+
+ ```bash
+ cd /usr/libexec/netdata/plugins.d/
+ ```
+
+- Switch to the `netdata` user.
+
+ ```bash
+ sudo -u netdata -s
+ ```
+
+- Run the `python.d.plugin` to debug the collector:
+
+ ```bash
+ ./python.d.plugin litespeed debug trace
+ ```
+
+
