72 #### via File
73
74 The configuration file name for this integration is `netdata.conf`.
75 Configuration for this specific integration is located in the `[plugin:freebsd]` section within that file.
76
77 The file format is a modified INI syntax. The general structure is:
78
79 ```ini
80 [section1]
81 option1 = some value
82 option2 = some other value
83
84 [section2]
85 option3 = some third value
86 ```
87 You can edit the configuration file using the [`edit-config`](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/netdata-agent/configuration/README.md#edit-configuration-files) script from the
88 Netdata [config directory](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/netdata-agent/configuration/README.md#locate-your-config-directory).
89
90 ```bash
91 cd /etc/netdata 2>/dev/null || cd /opt/netdata/etc/netdata
92 sudo ./edit-config netdata.conf

105 ## Metrics
106
107 Metrics grouped by *scope*.
108
109 The scope defines the instance that the metric belongs to. An instance is uniquely identified by a set of labels.
110
111
112
113 ### Per kern.ipc.shm instance
114
115 These metrics give status about current shared memory segments.
116
117 This scope has no labels.
118
119 Metrics:
120
121 | Metric | Dimensions | Unit |
122 |:------|:----------|:----|
123 | system.ipc_shared_mem_segs | segments | segments |
124 | system.ipc_shared_mem_size | allocated | KiB |
