Configure

Lighttpd is a lightweight HTTP servers build with performance and security in mind. In order to collect metrics from Lighttpd servers you need first to enable and configure stats module.

Loading module:

server.modules = ( ..., "mod_status", ... )

Status page is disabled by default so you need to enable it

status.status-url = "/server-status"

You can restrict access to status url by allowing access only from certain subnet :

$HTTP["remoteip"] == "192.168.0.0/24" {
    status.status-url = "/server-status" 
  }

Or requesting authentication:

auth.require = ( "/server-status" => ( "realm" ... ) )

Please make sure that you configure URL and HOST in conf/webservers.ini file. Default configuration looks like this:

[Lighttpd]
address: http://127.0.0.1
stats: /server-status?auto
auth: False
user: netangels
pass: bololo
