From 0942680f85a3fb0a03bc8c211fcc9d286572c242 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Adrien Mahieux Date: Wed, 18 Sep 2019 14:13:32 +0200 Subject: Collector slabinfo (#6800) ### Summary Provide new collector parsing `/proc/slabinfo` to provide details on kernel slab structures. Asked by issue #13 (very happy for the oldest issue in backlog) ##### Component Name collectors/slabinfo.plugin ##### Additional Information This slabinfo details allows to have clues on actions done on your system. In the following screenshot, you can clearly see a `find` done on a ext4 filesystem (the number of `ext4_inode_cache` & `dentry` are rising fast), and a few seconds later, an admin issued a `echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_cached` as their count dropped. --- collectors/README.md | 1 + 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+) (limited to 'collectors/README.md') diff --git a/collectors/README.md b/collectors/README.md index fe6939f63e..6cfeb8d234 100644 --- a/collectors/README.md +++ b/collectors/README.md @@ -42,6 +42,7 @@ To minimize the number of processes spawn for data collection, Netdata also supp |[plugins.d](plugins.d/)|`C`|any|internal|-|implements the **external plugins** API and serves external plugins| |[proc.plugin](proc.plugin/)|`C`|linux|internal|yes|collects resource usage and performance data on Linux systems| |[python.d.plugin](python.d.plugin/)|`python` v2+|any|external|yes|a **plugin orchestrator** for data collection modules written in `python` v2 or v3 (both are supported).| +|[slabinfo.plugin](slabinfo.plugin/)|`C`|linux|external|-|collects kernel SLAB details on Linux systems| |[statsd.plugin](statsd.plugin/)|`C`|any|internal|-|implements a high performance **statsd** server for Netdata| |[tc.plugin](tc.plugin/)|`C`|linux|internal|-|collects traffic QoS metrics (`tc`) of Linux network interfaces| -- cgit v1.2.3
