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. |
