Linux CPU Input Plugin

The linux_cpu plugin gathers CPU metrics exposed on Linux-based systems.

Global configuration options

In addition to the plugin-specific configuration settings, plugins support additional global and plugin configuration settings. These settings are used to modify metrics, tags, and field or create aliases and configure ordering, etc. See the CONFIGURATION.md for more details.

Configuration

# Provides Linux CPU metrics
# This plugin ONLY supports Linux
[[inputs.linux_cpu]]
  ## Path for sysfs filesystem.
  ## See https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/filesystems/sysfs.txt
  ## Defaults:
  # host_sys = "/sys"

  ## CPU metrics collected by the plugin.
  ## Supported options:
  ## "cpufreq", "thermal"
  ## Defaults:
  # metrics = ["cpufreq"]

Metrics

The following tags are emitted by the plugin under the name linux_cpu:

Tag	Description
cpu	Identifier of the CPU

The following fields are emitted by the plugin when selecting cpufreq:

Metric name (field)	Description	Units
scaling_cur_freq	Current frequency of the CPU as determined by CPUFreq	KHz
scaling_min_freq	Minimum frequency the governor can scale to	KHz
scaling_max_freq	Maximum frequency the governor can scale to	KHz
cpuinfo_cur_freq	Current frequency of the CPU as determined by the hardware	KHz
cpuinfo_min_freq	Minimum operating frequency of the CPU	KHz
cpuinfo_max_freq	Maximum operating frequency of the CPU	KHz

The following fields are emitted by the plugin when selecting thermal:

Metric name (field)	Description	Units
throttle_count	Number of thermal throttle events reported by the CPU
throttle_max_time	Maximum amount of time CPU was in throttled state	ms
throtlle_total_time	Cumulative time during which the CPU was in throttled state	ms
