# Lighttpd Check

![Lighttpd Dashboard][1]

## Overview

The Agent's lighttpd check tracks uptime, bytes served, requests per second, response codes, and more.

**Minimum Agent version:** 6.0.0

## Setup

### Installation

The Lighttpd check is included in the [Datadog Agent][2] package, so you don't need to install anything else on your Lighttpd servers.

In addition, install `mod_status` on your Lighttpd servers.

### Configuration

<!-- xxx tabs xxx -->
<!-- xxx tab "Host" xxx -->

#### Host

To configure this check for an Agent running on a host:

1. Edit the `lighttpd.d/conf.yaml` file, in the `conf.d/` folder at the root of your [Agent's configuration directory][3]. See the [sample lighttpd.d/conf.yaml][4] for all available configuration options:

   ```yaml
   init_config:

   instances:
     ## @param lighttpd_status_url - string - required
     ## Status url of your Lighttpd server.
     #
     - lighttpd_status_url: http://localhost/server-status?auto
   ```

2. [Restart the Agent][5].

<!-- xxz tab xxx -->
<!-- xxx tab "Containerized" xxx -->

#### Containerized

For containerized environments, see the [Autodiscovery Integration Templates][6] for guidance on applying the parameters below.

| Parameter            | Value                                                           |
| -------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `<INTEGRATION_NAME>` | `lighttpd`                                                      |
| `<INIT_CONFIG>`      | blank or `{}`                                                   |
| `<INSTANCE_CONFIG>`  | `{"lighttpd_status_url": "http://%%host%%/server-status?auto"}` |

<!-- xxz tab xxx -->
<!-- xxz tabs xxx -->

#### Log collection

1. Collecting logs is disabled by default in the Datadog Agent, you need to enable it in `datadog.yaml`:

   ```yaml
   logs_enabled: true
   ```

2. Add this configuration block to your `lighttpd.d/conf.yaml` file to start collecting your lighttpd Logs:

   ```yaml
   logs:
     - type: file
       path: /path/to/my/directory/file.log
       source: lighttpd
   ```

   Change the `path` parameter value and configure it for your environment.
   See the [sample lighttpd.d/conf.yaml][4] for all available configuration options.

3. [Restart the Agent][5].

### Validation

[Run the Agent's `status` subcommand][7] and look for `lighttpd` under the Checks section.
