Host

Windows & Linux Host - OS Monitoring

Data Collection Setup

Deployment for this Source is different than others for data collection, as the OS metrics are collected locally from the Data Collector.

Least Privileged User

No additional LPU setup is required. Collection is done with the services user that they BindPlane collection processes are run under.

Network Requirements

Collection is local and not additional network access is required.

Supported Versions

*Windows, All Editions, including Core Supported for:
Windows 2008 R2, 2012 R2, 2016, 2019

*Linux:
Centos/RHEL/OEL 6.x & 7.x

PriorityThe priority of the process. For Linux and Unix, priority is a value in the range -20 to 19 (20 on some systems). The default priority is 0; lower priorities cause more favorable scheduling. For Windows, priority values can range from 0 (lowest priority) to 31 (highest priority). Mac OS X has 128 priority levels, ranging from 0 (lowest priority) to 127 (highest priority). They are divided into several major bands: 0 through 51 are the normal levels; the default priority is 31. 52 through 79 are the highest priority regular threads; 80 through 95 are for kernel mode threads; and 96 through 127 correspond to real-time threads, which are treated differently than other threads by the scheduler.
Resident Set Size (Bytes)The Resident Set Size (RSS). On Windows, returns the private working set size. It is used to show how much memory is allocated to that process and is in RAM. It does not include memory that is swapped out. It does include memory from shared libraries as long as the pages from those libraries are actually in memory. It does include all stack and heap memory.

User IDThe userID. On Windows systems, returns the Security ID (SID).
User Time (Milliseconds)The amount of time the process has executed in user mode.
Virtual Size (Bytes)The Virtual Memory Size (VSZ). It includes all memory that the process can access, including memory that is swapped out and memory that is from shared libraries.
