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

Options

There are no configuration options.

via File

There is no configuration file.

Examples

There are no configuration examples.

Alerts

There are no alerts configured by default for this integration.

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	Description	Dimensions	Unit
netdata.ebpf_aral_stat_size	Bytes allocated for ARAL.	memory	bytes

netdata.ebpf_pids	Total number of monitored PIDs	user, kernel	pids
netdata.ebpf_load_methods	Load info	legacy, co-re	methods
netdata.ebpf_kernel_memory	Memory allocated for hash tables.	memory_locked	bytes
netdata.ebpf_hash_tables_count	Number of hash tables loaded	hash_table	hash tables
netdata.ebpf_hash_tables_insert_pid_elements	Number of times an element was inserted in a hash table.	thread	rows
netdata.ebpf_hash_tables_remove_pid_elements	Number of times an element was removed in a hash table.	thread	rows
netdata.ebpf_ipc_usage	IPC used array positions	positions	%
