  • version: The product software version

CPU

The following metrics are collected related to CPU usage and statistics:

bc_system_cpu_info
General information about CPU, stored in an info metric. The information contains the following:
  • architecture: The architecture of the processor. For example, x86_64
  • cores_per_socket: The number of cores per CPU socket
  • cpus: The number of processors
  • model_name: The model name of the processor. For example, Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-9750H CPU @ 2.60GHz
  • sockets: The number of sockets
  • threads_per_core: The number of threads per CPU core
bc_system_cpu_processes_total
The total number of processes created since the system booted.
bc_system_cpu_processes_running
The total number of processes currently running across all CPUs.
bc_system_cpu_usage
The CPU utilization across all CPU cores since last poll. The value is between 0 and 1.

Memory

The following metrics are collected related to memory usage and statistics:

bc_system_memory_info
General information about system memory, stored in an info metric. The information contains the following:
  • total: The total usable RAM
  • swap_total: The total amount of swap space available in the system
bc_system_memory_available_bytes
The amount of memory available for allocation to any process
bc_system_memory_shared_bytes
The total amount of memory used by shared memory (shmem) and the tmpf filesystem
bc_system_memory_slab_bytes
The kernel-level data structures cache, allocation of contiguous pages for caches by the slab allocator
bc_system_memory_free_bytes
The amount of free RAM that is now being used by the system
bc_system_memory_active_bytes
The memory that has been recently used and not suitable to reclaim for new applications
bc_system_memory_inactive_bytes
The memory that has not been recently used and is suitable to reclaim for new applications
bc_system_memory_buffers_bytes
The amount of temporary storage for raw disk blocks
bc_system_memory_cached_bytes
The amount of physical RAM used as cache memory
bc_system_memory_swap_cached_bytes
The recently used swap memory that increases the speed of I/O
bc_system_memory_swap_free_bytes
The unused swap space. This is memory that has been temporarily transferred from RAM to the disk
bc_system_memory_dirty_bytes
The total amount of memory waiting to be written back to the disk

Disk

The following metric is collected related to system-wide disk usage:
bc_system_disk_usage
The disk space usage. The value has a label mount for each mounted disk.

Disk I/O

The following metric is collected related to system-wide disk I/O statistics:
bc_system_diskio_reads_total
The disk reads completed. The value has a label disk for each filesystem
bc_system_diskio_writes_total
The disk writes completed. The value has a label disk for each filesystem
bc_system_diskio_sectors_read_total
The disk sectors successfully read. The value has a label disk for each filesystem
bc_system_diskio_sectors_written_total
The disk sectors successfully written. The value has a label disk for each filesystem
bc_system_diskio_reads_since_poll
The number of disk reads successfully completed since the last poll, over all disks.
bc_system_diskio_writes_since_poll
The number of disk writes successfully completed since the last poll, over all disks.
bc_system_diskio_sectors_read_since_poll
The number of disk sector reads successfully completed since the last poll, over all disks.
bc_system_diskio_sectors_written_since_poll
The number of disk sectors writes successfully completed since the last poll, over all disks.

Net I/O

The following metric is collected related to system-wide net I/O statistics:
bc_system_netio_received_bytes_total
The total number of received bytes. The value has a label interface for each interface
bc_system_netio_received_packets_total
The total number of received packets. The value has a label interface for each interface
bc_system_netio_sent_bytes_total
The total number of sent bytes. The value has a label interface for each interface
bc_system_netio_sent_packets_total
The total number of sent packets. The value has a label interface for each interface
bc_system_netio_received_bytes_since_poll
The total number of received bytes since the last poll, over all interfaces
bc_system_netio_received_packets_since_poll
The total number of received packets since the last poll, over all interfaces
bc_system_netio_sent_bytes_since_poll
The total number of sent bytes since the last poll, over all interfaces
bc_system_netio_sent_packets_since_poll

Load

The following metric is collected related to system load usage:
bc_system_load
The load of the system, between 0 and 1. The value has a label duration, with three possible values 1, 5, and 15, which describes the number of minutes that the load is representing. For example, bc_system_load{duration="5",instance="new",server_id="2049279990"} 0.16 indicates a system load of 16% during the last 5 minutes.
