eBPF Process

Plugin: ebpf.plugin Module: process

Overview

Monitor internal memory usage.

Uses netdata internal statistic to monitor memory management by plugin.

This collector is only supported on the following platforms:

• Linux

This collector supports collecting metrics from multiple instances of this integration, including remote instances.

Default Behavior

Auto-Detection

This integration doesn't support auto-detection.

Limits

The default configuration for this integration does not impose any limits on data collection.

Performance Impact

The default configuration for this integration is not expected to impose a significant performance impact on the system.

Metrics

Metrics grouped by scope.

The scope defines the instance that the metric belongs to. An instance is uniquely identified by a set of labels.

Per eBPF Process instance

How plugin is allocating memory.

This scope has no labels.

Metrics:

Metric	Dimensions	Unit
netdata.ebpf_aral_stat_size	memory	bytes
netdata.ebpf_aral_stat_alloc	aral	calls
netdata.ebpf_threads	total, running	threads
netdata.ebpf_load_methods	legacy, co-re	methods
netdata.ebpf_kernel_memory	memory_locked	bytes
netdata.ebpf_hash_tables_count	hash_table	hash tables
netdata.ebpf_aral_stat_size	memory	bytes
netdata.ebpf_aral_stat_alloc	aral	calls
netdata.ebpf_aral_stat_size	memory	bytes
netdata.ebpf_aral_stat_alloc	aral	calls
netdata.ebpf_hash_tables_insert_pid_elements	thread	rows
netdata.ebpf_hash_tables_remove_pid_elements	thread	rows

Alerts

There are no alerts configured by default for this integration.
