Processor

Plugin: windows.plugin Module: PerflibProcessor

Overview

Monitor processor performance statistics on Windows hosts through Perflib.

It queries the Processor Information object from Perflib in order to gather the metrics, falling back to the legacy Processor object only when Processor Information is unavailable.

This collector is only supported on the following platforms:

• windows

This collector only supports collecting metrics from a single instance of this integration.

Default Behavior

Auto-Detection

The collector automatically detects all of the metrics, no further configuration is required.

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

No action required.

via File

The configuration file name for this integration is netdata.conf. Configuration for this specific integration is located in the [plugin:windows:PerflibProcessor] section within that file.

The file format is a modified INI syntax. The general structure is:

    option1 = some value
    option2 = some other value

[section2]
    option3 = some third value

cd /etc/netdata 2>/dev/null || cd /opt/netdata/etc/netdata
sudo ./edit-config netdata.conf

Examples

There are no configuration examples.

Alerts

The following alerts are available:

Alert name	On metric	Description
Alert name 10min_cpu_usage	On metricsystem.cpu	DescriptionAverage CPU utilization over the last 10 minutes

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 System

These metrics refer to the entire system.

This scope has no labels.

Metrics:

Metric	Description	Dimensions	Unit
system.cpu	Total CPU utilization	interrupts, user, privileged, dpc	percentage

Per CPU

These metrics provide information about individual CPU cores.

Labels:

Label	Description
cpu	The identifier of the CPU core. On Windows systems, CPU cores are labeled as 'cpu0', 'cpu1', etc.

Metrics:

Metric	Description	Dimensions	Unit
cpu.cpu	Core utilization	interrupts, user, privileged, dpc	percentage
