It then merges these identical pages into a -single page that the processes share. This is particularly useful for virtualization, where multiple virtual -machines might be running the same operating system or applications and have many identical pages. - -The collector provides information about the operation and effectiveness of KSM on your system. - - - - -This collector is supported on all platforms. - -This collector only supports collecting metrics from a single instance of this integration. - - -### 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.
