Hugepages Input Plugin
Transparent Huge Pages (THP) is a Linux memory management system that reduces
the overhead of Translation Lookaside Buffer (TLB) lookups on machines with
large amounts of memory by using larger memory pages.
Consult the website for more details.
Global configuration options
In addition to the plugin-specific configuration settings, plugins support
additional global and plugin configuration settings. These settings are used to
modify metrics, tags, and field or create aliases and configure ordering, etc.
See the CONFIGURATION.md for more details.
Configuration
# Gathers huge pages measurements.
# This plugin ONLY supports Linux
[[inputs.hugepages]]
## Supported huge page types:
## - "root" - based on root huge page control directory:
## /sys/kernel/mm/hugepages
## - "per_node" - based on per NUMA node directories:
## /sys/devices/system/node/node[0-9]*/hugepages
## - "meminfo" - based on /proc/meminfo file
# types = ["root", "per_node"]
Metrics
Measurements
The following measurements are supported by Hugepages plugin:
- hugepages_root (gathered from
/sys/kernel/mm/hugepages
)
- tags:
- fields:
- free (integer)
- mempolicy (integer)
- overcommit (integer)
- reserved (integer)
- surplus (integer)
- total (integer)
- hugepages_per_node (gathered from
/sys/devices/system/node/node[0-9]*/hugepages
)
- tags:
- size_kb (integer, kB)
- node (integer)
- fields:
- free (integer)
- surplus (integer)
- total (integer)
- hugepages_meminfo (gathered from
/proc/meminfo
file)
- The fields
total
, free
, reserved
, and surplus
are counts of pages
of default size. Fields with suffix _kb
are in kilobytes.
- fields:
- anonymous_kb (integer, kB)
- file_kb (integer, kB)
- free (integer)
- reserved (integer)
- shared_kb (integer, kB)
- size_kb (integer, kB)
- surplus (integer)
- tlb_kb (integer, kB)
- total (integer)
