1 title: Various Linux kernel counters
7 This check monitors various counters as found in {/proc/stat}
8 and {/proc/vmstat}. Examples for those counters are {ctxt}
9 (the number of process context switches per second), {pgmajfault}
10 (the number of major page faults per second) and {processes}
11 (the number of process creations per second).
13 You can set a critical and warning level on each of those
14 counters or just monitor them without levels in order to
15 collect performance data. Levels you set to {None} will not
19 {"Context Switches"}, {"Process Creations"}, {"Major Page Faults"} or the name
20 of the kernel counter in question as found in {/proc/stat} or
24 Per default one check for {"Major Page Faults"},
25 {"Context Switches"} and {"Process Creations"}
26 will be created on each host providing that data. You can
27 override this list globally by setting {inventory_kernel_counters}
28 to a list of strings with those counters that should be inventorized.
29 Use {ignored_services} if you need a host-specific configuration
