| 22 | ## Overview |
| 23 | |
| 24 | This collector monitors processors statistics on host. |
| 25 | |
| 26 | |
| 27 | It queries Processor object from Perflib in order to gather the metrics. |
| 28 | |
| 29 | |
| 30 | This collector is only supported on the following platforms: |
| 31 | |
| 32 | - windows |
| 33 | |
| 34 | This collector only supports collecting metrics from a single instance of this integration. |
| 35 | |
| 36 | |
| 37 | ### Default Behavior |
| 38 | |
| 39 | #### Auto-Detection |
| 40 | |
| 41 | The collector automatically detects all of the metrics, no further configuration is required. |
| 42 | |
| 43 | |
| 44 | #### Limits |
| 45 | |
| 46 | The default configuration for this integration does not impose any limits on data collection. |
| 47 | |
| 48 | #### Performance Impact |
| 49 | |
| 50 | The default configuration for this integration is not expected to impose a significant performance impact on the system. |
| 51 | |
| 52 | ## Setup |
| 53 | |
| 54 | |
| 55 | ### Prerequisites |
| 56 | |
| 57 | No action required. |

| 61 | #### Options |
| 62 | |
| 63 | |
| 64 | |
| 65 | |
| 66 | |
| 67 | | Option | Description | Default | Required | |
| 68 | |:-----|:------------|:--------|:---------:| |
| 69 | | update every | Data collection frequency. | 1 | no | |
| 70 | |
| 71 | |
| 72 | |
| 73 | |
| 74 | #### via File |
| 75 | |
| 76 | The configuration file name for this integration is `netdata.conf`. |
| 77 | Configuration for this specific integration is located in the `[plugin:windows:PerflibProcessor]` section within that file. |
| 78 | |
| 79 | The file format is a modified INI syntax. The general structure is: |
| 80 | |
| 81 | ```ini |
| 82 | [section1] |
| 83 | option1 = some value |
| 84 | option2 = some other value |
| 85 | |
| 86 | [section2] |
| 87 | option3 = some third value |
| 88 | ``` |
| 89 | 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 |
| 90 | Netdata [config directory](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/netdata-agent/configuration/README.md#locate-your-config-directory). |
| 91 | |
| 92 | ```bash |
| 93 | cd /etc/netdata 2>/dev/null || cd /opt/netdata/etc/netdata |
| 94 | sudo ./edit-config netdata.conf |
| 95 | ``` |
| 96 | |

| 102 | ## Alerts |
| 103 | |
| 104 | |
| 105 | The following alerts are available: |
| 106 | |
| 107 | | Alert name | On metric | Description | |
| 108 | |:------------|:----------|:------------| |
| 109 | | [ 10min_cpu_usage ](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/src/health/health.d/cpu.conf) | system.cpu | Average CPU utilization over the last 10 minutes | |
| 110 | |
| 111 | |
| 112 | ## Metrics |
| 113 | |
| 114 | Metrics grouped by *scope*. |
| 115 | |
| 116 | The scope defines the instance that the metric belongs to. An instance is uniquely identified by a set of labels. |
| 117 | |
| 118 | |
| 119 | |
| 120 | ### Per System |
| 121 | |
| 122 | These metrics refer to the entire system. |
| 123 | |
| 124 | This scope has no labels. |
| 125 | |
| 126 | Metrics: |
| 127 | |
| 128 | | Metric | Dimensions | Unit | |
| 129 | |:------|:----------|:----| |
| 130 | | system.cpu | interrupts, user, privileged, dpc | percentage | |
| 131 | |
| 132 | ### Per CPU |
| 133 | |
| 134 | These metrics provide information about individual CPU cores. |
| 135 | |
| 136 | Labels: |
| 137 | |
| 138 | | Label | Description | |
| 139 | |:-----------|:----------------| |
| 140 | | cpu | The identifier of the CPU core. On Windows systems, CPU cores are labeled as 'cpu0', 'cpu1', etc. | |
| 141 | |
| 142 | Metrics: |
| 143 | |
| 144 | | Metric | Dimensions | Unit | |
| 145 | |:------|:----------|:----| |
