collectd/cpu

This monitor collects cpu usage data using the collectd cpu plugin. It aggregates the per-core CPU data into a single metric and sends it to the SignalFx Metadata plugin in collectd, where the raw jiffy counts from the cpu plugin are converted to percent utilization (the cpu.utilization metric).

See https://collectd.org/wiki/index.php/Plugin:CPU

Metrics

The following table lists the metrics available for this monitor. Metrics that are marked as Included are standard metrics and are monitored by default.

Name Type Included Description
cpu.utilization gauge ✔ Percentage of total CPU used within the last metric interval cycle.

To specify custom metrics you want to monitor, add a metricsToInclude filter to the agent configuration, as shown in the code snippet below. The snippet lists all available custom metrics. You can copy and paste the snippet into your configuration file, then delete any custom metrics that you do not want sent.

Note that some of the custom metrics require you to set a flag as well as add them to the list. Check the monitor configuration file to see if a flag is required for gathering additional metrics.
