+## Overview
+
+Monitors `/proc/interrupts`, a file organized by CPU and then by the type of interrupt.
+The numbers reported are the counts of the interrupts that have occurred of each type.
+
+An interrupt is a signal to the processor emitted by hardware or software indicating an event that needs
+immediate attention. The processor then interrupts its current activities and executes the interrupt handler
+to deal with the event. This is part of the way a computer multitasks and handles concurrent processing.
+
+The types of interrupts include:
+
+- **I/O interrupts**: These are caused by I/O devices like the keyboard, mouse, printer, etc. For example, when
+  you type something on the keyboard, an interrupt is triggered so the processor can handle the new input.
+
+- **Timer interrupts**: These are generated at regular intervals by the system's timer circuit. It's primarily
+  used to switch the CPU among different tasks.
+
+- **Software interrupts**: These are generated by a program requiring disk I/O operations, or other system resources.
+
+- **Hardware interrupts**: These are caused by hardware conditions such as power failure, overheating, etc.
+
+Monitoring `/proc/interrupts` can be used for:
+
+- **Performance tuning**: If an interrupt is happening very frequently, it could be a sign that a device is not
+  configured correctly, or there is a software bug causing unnecessary interrupts. This could lead to system
+  performance degradation.
+
+- **System troubleshooting**: If you're seeing a lot of unexpected interrupts, it could be a sign of a hardware problem.
+
+- **Understanding system behavior**: More generally, keeping an eye on what interrupts are occurring can help you
+  understand what your system is doing. It can provide insights into the system's interaction with hardware,
+  drivers, and other parts of the kernel.
+
+
+
+
+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 Interrupts instance
+
+
+
+This scope has no labels.
+
+Metrics:
+
+| Metric | Dimensions | Unit |
+|:------|:----------|:----|
+| system.interrupts | a dimension per device | interrupts/s |
+
+### Per cpu core
+
+
+
+Labels:
+
+| Label      | Description     |
+|:-----------|:----------------|
+| cpu | TBD |
+
+Metrics:
+
+| Metric | Dimensions | Unit |
+|:------|:----------|:----|
+| cpu.interrupts | a dimension per device | interrupts/s |
+
