Built-in server metrics collected by the meter


The meter collects the following 8 core server metrics and 12 extended server metrics. The extended metrics are available only if you have a trial or paid subscription.

Core server metrics

Metric

Description (units)

CPU Utilization

Overall CPU utilization (%)

Memory Usage

Overall memory utilization (%)

Disk Writes

Number of disk write operations

Disk Reads

Number of disk read operations

Network In

Network traffic received on all interfaces (Bytes)

Network Out

Network traffic sent on all interfaces sent (Bytes)

Disk Bytes Written

Number of bytes written to all disks (Bytes)

Disk Bytes Read

Number of bytes read from all disks (Bytes)

Extended server metrics

Metric

Description (units)

CPU IO Wait Time

The percentage of CPU time spent waiting for IO operations (%)

CPU System Time

The percentage of available CPU time being utilized by the OS (%)

CPU User Time

The percentage of available CPU time being utilized by programs (%)

CPU Stolen Time

The percentage of time a virtual machine was ready to run but was not allowed to run by the host OS (%)

One Minute Load Average

An averaging of the number of processes utilizing or waiting for CPU time over that last minute

Filesystem Utilization

Percentage of disk space used (written on). This is the total among all non-virtual, local filesystems (%)

Memory Bytes Free

The amount of unused memory by programs and the OS (bytes)

Processor Queue

The number of processes that are waiting to run on a CPU

Context Switches

The number of switches between programs and the OS in the last second.

Total Number of Processes

The number of processes running, including duplicates. Processes are programs that support applications.

Number of Idle Processes

The number of processes that have not executed for more than 20 seconds.

Number of Threads

Number of process threads running. A single process can have many threads, but a thread can only have one process.
