CPU Input Plugin

The cpu plugin gather metrics on the system CPUs.

Configuration

[[inputs.cpu]]
  ## Whether to report per-cpu stats or not
  percpu = true
  ## Whether to report total system cpu stats or not
  totalcpu = true
  ## If true, collect raw CPU time metrics.
  collect_cpu_time = false
  ## If true, compute and report the sum of all non-idle CPU states.
  report_active = false

Metrics

On Linux, consult man proc for details on the meanings of these values.

  • cpu
    • tags:
      • cpu (CPU ID or cpu-total)
    • fields:
      • time_user (float)
      • time_system (float)
      • time_idle (float)
      • time_active (float)
      • time_nice (float)
      • time_iowait (float)
      • time_irq (float)
      • time_softirq (float)
      • time_steal (float)
      • time_guest (float)
      • time_guest_nice (float)
      • usage_user (float, percent)
      • usage_system (float, percent)
      • usage_idle (float, percent)
      • usage_active (float)
      • usage_nice (float, percent)
      • usage_iowait (float, percent)
      • usage_irq (float, percent)
      • usage_softirq (float, percent)
      • usage_steal (float, percent)
      • usage_guest (float, percent)
      • usage_guest_nice (float, percent)

Troubleshooting

On Linux systems the /proc/stat file is used to gather CPU times. Percentages are based on the last 2 samples.
