Netdata uses Linux Capabilities to give the plugin access to debugfs. `CAP_DAC_READ_SEARCH` is added automatically during installation. This capability allows bypassing file read permission checks and directory read and execute permission checks. If file capabilities are not usable, then the plugin is instead installed with the SUID bit set in permissions so that it runs as root. - - -### Default Behavior - -#### Auto-Detection - -Assuming that debugfs is mounted and the required permissions are available, this integration will automatically detect whether or not the system is using zswap. - - -#### 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.
