The following table shows the metrics collected by the monitoring infrastructure provided in IBM Hyper Protect Virtual Servers .

Table 1. Monitoring metrics collected

Plugin Name Metrics Name Labels Description
01 collectd collectd_collectd_cache_size collectd="cache",
instance
The number of elements in the metric cache.
02 collectd collectd_collectd_derive_total collectd="write_queue",
type="dropped",
instance
The number of metrics dropped due to a queue length limitation.
03 collectd collectd_collectd_queue_length collectd="write_queue",
instance
The number of metrics currently in the write queue.
04 cpu collectd_cpu_percent cpu="idle",
instance
Percentage of time that the CPU or CPUs were idle and the system did not have an outstanding disk I/O request.
05 cpu collectd_cpu_percent cpu="interrupt",
instance
Percentage of time spent by the CPU or CPUs to service hardware interrupts.
06 cpu collectd_cpu_percent cpu="nice",
instance
Percentage of time spent by the CPU or CPUs to run a niced guest. Nice is when the CPU is executing a user task having below-normal priority.
07 cpu collectd_cpu_percent cpu="softirq",
instance
Percentage of time spent by the CPU or CPUs to service software interrupts.
08 cpu collectd_cpu_percent cpu="steal",
instance
Percentage of time spent in involuntary wait by the virtual CPU or CPUs while the hypervisor was servicing another virtual processor.
09 cpu collectd_cpu_percent cpu="system",
instance
Percentage of CPU utilization while the CPU is running kernel code. This includes device drivers and kernel modules.
10 cpu collectd_cpu_percent cpu="user",
instance
Percentage of CPU utilization while the CPU is running code in user-mode. This includes your application code.
11 cpu collectd_cpu_percent cpu="wait",
instance
Percentage of time when the CPU or CPUs were waiting for an I/O operation to complete, and the CPU can’t be used for anything else.
12 df collectd_df_percent_bytes df=<MountPoint>,
type="free",
instance
Free disk space on the file system, expressed as a percentage. MountPoints: root, /hostfs/var/lib/quotagroups/lv_data_pool/appliance_data
13 df collectd_df_percent_bytes df=<MountPoint>,
type="reserved",
instance
Reserved disk space on the filesystem, expressed as a percentage. MountPoints: root, /hostfs/var/lib/quotagroups/lv_data_pool/appliance_data
14 df collectd_df_percent_bytes df=<MountPoint>,
type="used",
instance
Used disk space on the file system, expressed as a percentage. MountPoints: root, /hostfs/var/lib/quotagroups/lv_data_pool/appliance_data
15 load collectd_load_longterm load="relative",
instance
The average system load over a period of the last 15 minutes.
16 load collectd_load_midterm load="relative",
instance
The average system load over a period of the last 5 minutes.
17 load collectd_load_shortterm load="relative",
instance
The average system load over a period of 1 minute.
18 memory collectd_memory memory="buffered",
instance
Amount of memory used for buffering, mostly for I/O operations.
19 memory collectd_memory memory="cached",
instance
Memory used for caching disk data for reads, memory-mapped files or tmpfs data.
20 memory collects_memory memory="free",
instance
Total amount of unused memory.
21 memory collectd_memory memory="slab_recl",
instance
Amount of reclaimable memory used for slab kernel allocations.
22 memory collectd_memory memory="slab_unrecl",
instance
Amount of unreclaimable memory used for slab kernel allocations.
23 memory collectd_memory memory="used",
instance
Total amount of memory used.
24 memory collectd_memory_percent memory="buffered",
instance
Amount of memory used for buffering, mostly for I/O operations.
25 memory collectd_memory_percent memory="cached",
instance
Memory used for caching disk data for reads, memory-mapped files or tmpfs data.
26 memory collects_memory_percent memory="free",
instance
Total amount of unused memory.
27 memory collectd_memory_percent memory="slab_recl",
instance
Amount of reclaimable memory used for slab kernel allocations.
28 memory collectd_memory_percent memory="slab_unrecl",
instance
Amount of unreclaimable memory used for slab kernel allocations.
29 memory collectd_memory_percent memory="used",
instance
