The Host Metrics receiver generates metrics about the host system. This is intended to be used when the collector is deployed as an agent.
The categories of metrics scraped can be configured under the scrapers
key.
For example:
hostmetrics:
collection_interval: 1m
scrapers:
cpu:
memory:
disk:
If you would like to scrape some metrics at a different frequency than others,
you can configure multiple hostmetrics
receivers with different
collection_interval values
. For example:
receivers:
hostmetrics:
collection_interval: 30s
scrapers:
cpu:
memory:
hostmetrics/disk:
collection_interval: 1m
scrapers:
disk:
filesystem:
service:
pipelines:
metrics:
receivers: [hostmetrics, hostmetrics/disk]
