System Process Metricsetedit

The 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) Metricsedit

On 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.

Fieldsedit

For a description of each field in the metricset, see the exported fields section.

Here is an example document generated by this metricset:
