Collectd Processes Metrics

Collected

Fully Qualified Name(FQN) Description Statistic Units Min Max Sparse Data Strategy(SDS) BASE CORR UTIL
processes.fork_rate.value Number of processes per second being forked. average forks/second 0 none none yes no no
processes.ps_state-blocked.value Number of processes in a blocked state. A process that is blocked is onethat is waiting for some event, such as a resource becoming available orthe completion of an I/O operation. average count 0 none none yes no no
processes.ps_state-paging.value Number of processes which are paging. average count 0 none none yes no no
processes.ps_state-running.value Number of processes which are running. average count 0 none none yes no no
processes.ps_state-sleeping.value Number of processes which are sleeping. A sleeping process is one whichis not currently doing any work. average count 0 none none yes no no
processes.ps_state-stopped.value Number of processes which are stopped. A stopped process is one whichwill not proceed until it receives a signal to continue. average count 0 none none yes no no
processes.ps_state-zombies.value Number of processes in the zombie state. A zombie is a child process,which has terminated, but still exists in the process table to bereferenced by the parent process. Long-running zombies are typicallyerrors that cause a drain on system resources. average count 0 none none yes no no
