# Rspamd
Plugin: go.d.plugin
Module: rspamd
## Overview
This collector monitors the activity and performance of Rspamd servers. It gathers various metrics including scanned emails, learned messages, spam/ham counts, and actions taken on emails (reject, rewrite, etc.).
It retrieves statistics from Rspamd's [built-in web server](https://rspamd.com/doc/workers/controller.html) by making HTTP requests to the `/stat` endpoint.
This collector is supported on all platforms.
This collector supports collecting metrics from multiple instances of this integration, including remote instances.
### Default Behavior
#### Auto-Detection
By default, it detects Rspamd instances running on localhost that are listening on port 11334.
#### 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 Rspamd instance
These metrics refer to the entire monitored application.
This scope has no labels.
Metrics:
| Metric | Dimensions | Unit |
|:------|:----------|:----|
| rspamd.classifications | ham, spam | messages/s |
| rspamd.actions | reject, soft_reject, rewrite_subject, add_header, greylist, custom, discard, quarantine, no_action | messages/s |
| rspamd.scans | scanned | messages/s |
| rspamd.learns | learned | messages/s |
| rspamd.connections | connections | connections/s |
| rspamd.control_connections | control_connections | connections/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 `go.d/rspamd.conf`.
You can edit the configuration file using the [`edit-config`](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/netdata-agent/configuration/README.md#edit-a-configuration-file-using-edit-config) script from the
Netdata [config directory](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/netdata-agent/configuration/README.md#the-netdata-config-directory).
```bash
cd /etc/netdata 2>/dev/null || cd /opt/netdata/etc/netdata
sudo ./edit-config go.d/rspamd.conf
```
#### Options
The following options can be defined globally: update_every, autodetection_retry.
Config options

| update_every | Data collection frequency. | 1 | no |
| autodetection_retry | Recheck interval in seconds. Zero means no recheck will be scheduled. | 0 | no |
| url | Server URL. | http://127.0.0.1:11334 | yes |

| method | HTTP request method. | GET | no |
| body | HTTP request body. | | no |
| headers | HTTP request headers. | | no |
| not_follow_redirects | Redirect handling policy. Controls whether the client follows redirects. | no | no |
| tls_skip_verify | Server certificate chain and hostname validation policy. Controls whether the client performs this check. | no | no |
| tls_ca | Certification authority that the client uses when verifying the server's certificates. | | no |
| tls_cert | Client TLS certificate. | | no |
| tls_key | Client TLS key. | | no |
#### Examples
##### Basic
A basic example configuration.
```yaml
jobs:
- name: local
url: http://127.0.0.1:11334
```
##### HTTP authentication
Basic HTTP authentication.
Config
```yaml
jobs:
- name: local
url: http://127.0.0.1:11334
username: username
password: password
```
##### Multi-instance
> **Note**: When you define multiple jobs, their names must be unique.
Collecting metrics from local and remote instances.
Config
```yaml
jobs:
- name: local
url: http://127.0.0.1:11334
- name: remote
url: http://192.0.2.1:11334
```
## Troubleshooting
### Debug Mode
**Important**: Debug mode is not supported for data collection jobs created via the UI using the Dyncfg feature.
To troubleshoot issues with the `rspamd` 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]`.
```bash
cd /usr/libexec/netdata/plugins.d/
```
- Switch to the `netdata` user.
```bash
sudo -u netdata -s
```
- Run the `go.d.plugin` to debug the collector:
```bash
./go.d.plugin -d -m rspamd
```
### Getting Logs
If you're encountering problems with the `rspamd` collector, follow these steps to retrieve logs and identify potential issues:
- **Run the command** specific to your system (systemd, non-systemd, or Docker container).
- **Examine the output** for any warnings or error messages that might indicate issues. These messages should provide clues about the root cause of the problem.
#### System with systemd
Use the following command to view logs generated since the last Netdata service restart:
```bash
journalctl _SYSTEMD_INVOCATION_ID="$(systemctl show --value --property=InvocationID netdata)" --namespace=netdata --grep rspamd
```
#### System without systemd
Locate the collector log file, typically at `/var/log/netdata/collector.log`, and use `grep` to filter for collector's name:
```bash
grep rspamd /var/log/netdata/collector.log
```
**Note**: This method shows logs from all restarts. Focus on the **latest entries** for troubleshooting current issues.
#### Docker Container
If your Netdata runs in a Docker container named "netdata" (replace if different), use this command:
```bash
docker logs netdata 2>&1 | grep rspamd
```
