# Litespeed
<img src="https://netdata.cloud/img/litespeed.svg" width="150"/>
Plugin: go.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.requests | requests | requests/s |
| litespeed.requests_processing | processing | requests |
| litespeed.net_throughput | in, out | kilobits/s |
| litespeed.net_ssl_throughput | in, out | kilobits/s |
| litespeed.connections | free, used | conns |
| litespeed.ssl_connections | free, used | conns |
| litespeed.public_cache | hits | hits/s |
| litespeed.private_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 `go.d/litespeed.conf`.
You can edit the configuration file using the `edit-config` script from the
Netdata [config directory](/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/litespeed.conf
```
#### Options
The following options can be defined globally: update_every, autodetection_retry.
<details open><summary>Config options</summary>
| Name | Description | Default | Required |
|:----|:-----------|:-------|:--------:|
| update_every | Data collection frequency. | 10 | no |
| autodetection_retry | Sets the job re-check interval in seconds. | 0 | no |
| reports_dir | Directory containing Litespeed's real-time statistics files. | /tmp/lshttpd/ | no |
</details>
#### Examples
##### Set the path to statistics
Change the path for the litespeed stats files
```yaml
local:
name: 'local'
path: '/tmp/lshttpd'
```
## Troubleshooting
### Debug Mode
To troubleshoot issues with the `litespeed` 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 litespeed
```
