VM Statistics Collector
Collects Erlang VM metrics using :erlang.statistics/1.
Exported metrics
-
erlang_vm_statistics_bytes_output_total
Type: counter.
The total number of bytes output to ports. -
erlang_vm_statistics_bytes_received_total
Type: counter.
The total number of bytes received through ports. -
erlang_vm_statistics_context_switches
Type: counter.
The total number of context switches since the system started. -
erlang_vm_statistics_garbage_collection_number_of_gcs
Type: counter.
The total number of garbage collections since the system started. -
erlang_vm_statistics_garbage_collection_words_reclaimed
Type: counter.
The total number of words reclaimed by GC since the system started. -
erlang_vm_statistics_garbage_collection_bytes_reclaimed
Type: counter.
The total number of bytes reclaimed by GC since the system started. -
erlang_vm_statistics_reductions_total
Type: counter.
Total reductions count. -
erlang_vm_statistics_run_queues_length_total
Type: gauge.
The total length of the run-queues. That is, the number of processes and ports that are ready to run on all available run-queues. -
erlang_vm_statistics_runtime_milliseconds
Type: counter.
The sum of the runtime for all threads in the Erlang runtime system. -
erlang_vm_statistics_wallclock_time_milliseconds
Type: counter.
Can be used in the same manner aserlang_vm_statistics_runtime_milliseconds
, except that real time is measured as opposed to runtime or CPU time.
Configuration
Metrics exported by this collector can be configured via
