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.

Setup

Prerequisites

Netdata flags.

To have these charts you need to compile netdata with flag NETDATA_DEV_MODE.

Configuration

File

There is no configuration file.

Options

There are no configuration options.

Examples

There are no configuration examples.

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_pids user, kernel pids
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_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.
