| 22 | ## Overview |
| 23 | |
| 24 | Monitor internal memory usage. |
| 25 | |
| 26 | Uses netdata internal statistic to monitor memory management by plugin. |
| 27 | |
| 28 | This collector is only supported on the following platforms: |
| 29 | |
| 30 | - Linux |
| 31 | |
| 32 | This collector supports collecting metrics from multiple instances of this integration, including remote instances. |
| 33 | |
| 34 | |
| 35 | ### Default Behavior |
| 36 | |
| 37 | #### Auto-Detection |
| 38 | |
| 39 | This integration doesn't support auto-detection. |
| 40 | |
| 41 | #### Limits |
| 42 | |
| 43 | The default configuration for this integration does not impose any limits on data collection. |
| 44 | |
| 45 | #### Performance Impact |
| 46 | |
| 47 | The default configuration for this integration is not expected to impose a significant performance impact on the system. |
| 48 | |
| 49 | ## Setup |
| 50 | |
| 51 | |
| 52 | ### Prerequisites |
| 53 | |
| 54 | #### Netdata flags. |
| 55 | |
| 56 | To have these charts you need to compile netdata with flag `NETDATA_DEV_MODE`. |
| 57 | |
| 58 | |
| 59 | ### Configuration |
| 60 | |
| 61 | #### Options |
| 62 | |
| 63 | |
| 64 | |
| 65 | There are no configuration options. |
| 66 | |
| 67 | |
| 68 | |
| 69 | #### via File |
| 70 | |
| 71 | There is no configuration file. |
| 72 | |
| 73 | ##### Examples |
| 74 | There are no configuration examples. |
| 75 | |
| 76 | |
| 77 | |
| 78 | ## Alerts |
| 79 | |
| 80 | There are no alerts configured by default for this integration. |
| 81 | |
| 82 | |
| 83 | ## Metrics |
| 84 | |
| 85 | Metrics grouped by *scope*. |
| 86 | |
| 87 | The scope defines the instance that the metric belongs to. An instance is uniquely identified by a set of labels. |
| 88 | |
| 89 | |
| 90 | |
| 91 | ### Per eBPF Process instance |
| 92 | |
| 93 | How plugin is allocating memory. |
| 94 | |
| 95 | This scope has no labels. |
| 96 | |
| 97 | Metrics: |
