Process

Note: Sysdig follows the Prometheus-compabtible naming convention for both metrics and labels as opposed to the previous statsd-compatible, legacy Sysdig naming convention. However, this page still shows metrics in the legacy Sysdig naming convention. Until this page is updated, see Metrics and Label Mapping for the mapping between Sysdig legacy and Prometheus naming conventions.

fd.used.percent

The percentage of used file descriptors out of the maximum available. By default, this metric displays the average value for the defined scope. For example, if the scope is set to a group of machines, the metric value will be the average value for the whole group.

proc.commandLine

Command line used to start the process.

proc.count

The number of processes on host or container, excluding any processes that do not have .exe or command line parameters in the process table. These processes typically are kernel or system level, and are typically identified by square brackets (for example, [kthreadd]).

proc.name

Name of the process.

proc.name.client

Name of the Client process.

proc.name.server

Name of the server process.

proc.start.count

Number of process starts on host or container.
