# Disclaimer

Every module should be compatible with python2 and python3.
All third party libraries should be installed system-wide or in `python_modules` directory.
Module configurations are written in YAML and **pyYAML is required**.

Every configuration file must have one of two formats:

- Configuration for only one job:

```yaml
update_every : 2 # update frequency
retries      : 1 # how many failures in update() is tolerated
priority     : 20000 # where it is shown on dashboard

other_var1   : bla  # variables passed to module
other_var2   : alb
```

- Configuration for many jobs (ex. mysql):

```yaml
# module defaults:
update_every : 2
retries      : 1
priority     : 20000

local:  # job name
  update_every : 5 # job update frequency
  other_var1   : some_val # module specific variable

other_job: 
  priority     : 5 # job position on dashboard
  retries      : 20 # job retries
  other_var2   : val # module specific variable
```

`update_every`, `retries`, and `priority` are always optional.

# cpufreq

This module shows the current CPU frequency as set by the cpufreq kernel
module.

**Requirement:**
You need to have `CONFIG_CPU_FREQ` and (optionally) `CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_STAT`
enabled in your kernel.

This module tries to read from one of two possible locations. On
initialization, it tries to read the `time_in_state` files provided by
cpufreq\_stats. If this file does not exist, or doesn't contain valid data, it
falls back to using the more inaccurate `scaling_cur_freq` file (which only
represents the **current** CPU frequency, and doesn't account for any state
changes which happen between updates).

It produces one chart with multiple lines (one line per core).

### configuration

Sample:

```yaml
sys_dir: "/sys/devices"
```

If no configuration is given, module will search for cpufreq files in `/sys/devices` directory.
Directory is also prefixed with `NETDATA_HOST_PREFIX` if specified.

---

**Requirement:**
Your kernel needs to have `CONFIG_CPU_IDLE` enabled.

To do this, create a link from the sites-enabled directory to the status file in the sites-available directory:
 * cd sites-enabled
 * ln -s ../sites-available/status status

and restart/reload your FREERADIUS server.

socket:
  name     : 'local'
  socket   : '/var/lib/redis/redis.sock'

localhost:
  name     : 'local'
  host     : 'localhost'
  port     : 6379
```

When no configuration file is found, module tries to connect to TCP/IP socket: `localhost:6379`.

# sensors

System sensors information.

Charts are created dynamically.

### configuration

For detailed configuration information please read [`sensors.conf`](https://github.com/firehol/netdata/blob/master/conf.d/python.d/sensors.conf) file.

# squid

This module will monitor one or more squid instances depending on configuration.

It produces following charts:

1. **Client Bandwidth** in kilobits/s
 * in
 * out
 * hits

2. **Client Requests** in requests/s
 * requests
 * hits
 * errors

3. **Server Bandwidth** in kilobits/s
 * in
 * out
 
4. **Server Requests** in requests/s
 * requests
 * errors
 
### configuration

```yaml
priority     : 50000

local:
  request : 'cache_object://localhost:3128/counters'
  host    : 'localhost'
  port    : 3128
```

Without any configuration module will try to autodetect where squid presents its `counters` data
 
---

# smartd_log

Module monitor `smartd` log files to collect HDD/SSD S.M.A.R.T attributes.

It produces following charts (you can add additional attributes in the module configuration file):

1. **Read Error Rate** attribute 1

2. **Start/Stop Count** attribute 4

3. **Reallocated Sectors Count** attribute 5
 
4. **Seek Error Rate** attribute 7

5. **Power-On Hours Count** attribute 9

6. **Power Cycle Count** attribute 12

7. **Load/Unload Cycles** attribute 193

8. **Temperature** attribute 194

9. **Current Pending Sectors** attribute 197
 
10. **Off-Line Uncorrectable** attribute 198

11. **Write Error Rate** attribute 200
 
### configuration

```yaml
local:
  log_path : '/var/log/smartd/'
```

If no configuration is given, module will attempt to read log files in /var/log/smartd/ directory.

# tomcat

Present tomcat containers memory utilization.

Charts:

1. **Requests** per second
 * accesses

2. **Volume** in KB/s
 * volume

3. **Threads**
 * current
 * busy
 
4. **JVM Free Memory** in MB
 * jvm
 
### configuration

```yaml
localhost:
  name : 'local'
  url  : 'http://127.0.0.1:8080/manager/status?XML=true'
  user : 'tomcat_username'
  pass : 'secret_tomcat_password'
```

Without configuration, module attempts to connect to `http://localhost:8080/manager/status?XML=true`, without any credentials. 
So it will probably fail.

# varnish cache

Module uses the `varnishstat` command to provide varnish cache statistics.

It produces:

1. **Client metrics**
 * session accepted
 * session dropped
 * good client requests received

2. **All history hit rate ratio**
 * cache hits in percent
 * cache miss in percent
 * cache hits for pass percent

3. **Curent poll hit rate ratio**
 * cache hits in percent
 * cache miss in percent
 * cache hits for pass percent

4. **Thread-related metrics** (only for varnish version 4+)
 * total number of threads
 * threads created
 * threads creation failed
 * threads hit max
 * length os session queue
 * sessions queued for thread

5. **Backend health**
 * backend conn. success
 * backend conn. not attempted
 * backend conn. too many
 * backend conn. failures
 * backend conn. reuses
 * backend conn. recycles
 * backend conn. retry
 * backend requests made

6. **Memory usage**
 * memory available in megabytes
 * memory allocated in megabytes

7. **Problems summary**
 * session dropped
 * session accept failures
 * session pipe overflow
 * backend conn. not attempted
 * fetch failed (all causes)
 * backend conn. too many
 * threads hit max
 * threads destroyed
 * length of session queue
 * HTTP header overflows
 * ESI parse errors
 * ESI parse warnings

8. **Uptime**
 * varnish instance uptime in seconds

### configuration

No configuration is needed.

# web_log

Tails the apache/nginx/lighttpd/gunicorn log files to collect real-time web-server statistics.

It produces following charts:

1. **Response by type** requests/s
 * success (1xx, 2xx, 304)
 * error (5xx)
 * redirect (3xx except 304)
 * bad (4xx)
 * other (all other responses)

2. **Response by code family** requests/s
 * 1xx (informational)
 * 2xx (successful)
 * 3xx (redirect)
 * 4xx (bad)
 * 5xx (internal server errors)
 * other (non-standart responses)
 * unmatched (the lines in the log file that are not matched)

3. **Detailed Response Codes** requests/s (number of responses for each response code family individually)
 
4. **Bandwidth** KB/s
 * received (bandwidth of requests)
 * send (bandwidth of responses)

5. **Timings** ms (request processing time)
 * min (bandwidth of requests)
 * max (bandwidth of responses)
 * average (bandwidth of responses)

6. **Request per url** requests/s (configured by user)

7. **Http Methods** requests/s (requests per http method)

8. **Http Versions** requests/s (requests per http version)

9. **IP protocols** requests/s (requests per ip protocol version)

10. **Curent Poll Unique Client IPs** unique ips/s (unique client IPs per data collection iteration)

11. **All Time Unique Client IPs** unique ips/s (unique client IPs since the last restart of netdata)

 
### configuration

```yaml
nginx_log:
  name  : 'nginx_log'
  path  : '/var/log/nginx/access.log'

apache_log:
  name  : 'apache_log'
  path  : '/var/log/apache/other_vhosts_access.log'
  categories:
      cacti : 'cacti.*'
      observium : 'observium'
```

Module has preconfigured jobs for nginx, apache and gunicorn on various distros.
