oVirt Containers

Plugin: cgroups.plugin Module: /sys/fs/cgroup

Overview

Monitor oVirt for performance, resource usage, and health status.

This collector is supported on all platforms.

This collector supports collecting metrics from multiple instances of this integration, including remote instances.

Default Behavior

Auto-Detection

This integration doesn't support auto-detection.

Limits

The default configuration for this integration does not impose any limits on data collection.

Performance Impact

The default configuration for this integration is not expected to impose a significant performance impact on the system.

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 cgroup

Labels:

Label	Description
container_name	The container name or group path if name resolution fails.
image	Docker/Podman container image name.

Metrics:

Per cgroup network device

Labels:

Label	Description
container_name	The container name or group path if name resolution fails.
image	Docker/Podman container image name.
device	The name of the host network interface linked to the container's network interface.
container_device	Container network interface name.
interface_type	Network interface type. Always "virtual" for the containers.

Metrics:

Metric	Dimensions	Unit

cgroup.net_packets	received, sent, multicast	pps
cgroup.net_errors	inbound, outbound	errors/s
cgroup.net_drops	inbound, outbound	errors/s
cgroup.net_fifo	receive, transmit	errors/s
cgroup.net_compressed	receive, sent	pps
cgroup.net_events	frames, collisions, carrier	events/s
cgroup.net_operstate	up, down, notpresent, lowerlayerdown, testing, dormant, unknown	state
cgroup.net_carrier	up, down	state
cgroup.net_mtu	mtu	octets

Alerts

The following alerts are available:

Alert name	On metric	Description
cgroup_10min_cpu_usage	cgroup.cpu_limit	average cgroup CPU utilization over the last 10 minutes
cgroup_ram_in_use	cgroup.mem_usage	cgroup memory utilization
cgroup_1m_received_packets_rate	cgroup.net_packets	average number of packets received by the network interface ${label:device} over the last minute
cgroup_10s_received_packets_storm	cgroup.net_packets	ratio of average number of received packets for the network interface ${label:device} over the last 10 seconds, compared to the rate over the last minute
