System Process Metricset
editSystem Process Metricset
editThe System process metricset provides process statistics. One document is
provided for each process.
This metricset is available on:
- Darwin
- FreeBSD
- Linux
- Windows
Control Group (cgroup) Metrics
editOn Linux this metricset can collect metrics from any cgroups that the process
is a member of. This feature is currently experimental, and it is not enabled by
default so you must add cgroup: true to the system module configuration to
enable it.
Fields
