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.

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.
