procfs

Name

procfs - Plugin to monitor general system statistics

Applicable Systems

All Linux systems where /proc is accessible.

Configuration

The following is default configuration

[cpu]
      env.HZ  100
  • env.HZ

    Some combinations of hardware and Linux (probably only 2.4 kernels) use 1000 units/second in /proc/stat corresponding to the systems HZ. (see /usr/src/linux/include/asm/param.h). But Almost all systems use 100 units/second and this is our default. Even if Documentation/proc.txt in the kernel source says otherwise. - Finding and fix by dz@426.ch

Example Warning and Critical Settings

You can also set warning and critical levels for each of the data series the plugin reports. The following environment variables are used as default for all fields:

env.warning
env.critical

But each field can be controlled separately. The available fields for the CPU graph are:

system, user, nice, idle, iowait, irq, softirq, steal, guest,
guest_nice

Interpretation

Cpu

The plugin shows cpu usage in percent. In case of more than one core it displays 100% for each core.

If a core is 100% busy there will be no “iowait” showing, that only shows if the CPU has nothing else to do while it waits on IO. Therefore a 100% busy core can hide a lot of iowait. Please refer to the IO latency and other disk related graphs for further information about IO performance.

Interrupts

The plugin monitors the number of interrupts and context switches on a system.

Forks

The plugin monitors the number of forks per second on the machine

Load

The plugin monitors the load average of the system (at 1, 5 and 15 minutes). The following fiends can be configured for warning and critical: load1, load and load15, configuring the limit respectively for 1, 5 and 15 minutes average load.

Uptime

The plugin measures the uptime of the system in days.
