Metrics

Metrics grouped by scope.

The scope defines the instance that the metric belongs to. An instance is uniquely identified by a set of labels.

Per applications group

These metrics refer to the application group.

Labels:

Label	Description
app_group	The name of the group defined in the configuration.

Metrics:

Metric	Description	Dimensions	Unit
app.cpu_utilization	Apps CPU utilization (100% = 1 core)	user, system	percentage
app.cpu_guest_utilization	Apps CPU guest utilization (100% = 1 core)	guest	percentage
app.cpu_context_switches	Apps CPU context switches	voluntary, involuntary	switches/s
app.estimated_mem_usage	Apps estimated memory usage (RSS with shared scaling). Requires kernel 4.14+. Enabled by default, disable with --pss 0.	mem	MiB
