-## Overview
-
-In the Linux kernel, handling of hardware interrupts is split into two halves: the top half and the bottom half.
-The top half is the routine that responds immediately to an interrupt, while the bottom half is deferred to be processed later.
-
-Softirqs are a mechanism in the Linux kernel used to handle the bottom halves of interrupts, which can be
-deferred and processed later in a context where it's safe to enable interrupts.
-
-The actual work of handling the interrupt is offloaded to a softirq and executed later when the system
-decides it's a good time to process them. This helps to keep the system responsive by not blocking the top
-half for too long, which could lead to missed interrupts.
-
-Monitoring `/proc/softirqs` is useful for:
-
-- **Performance tuning**: A high rate of softirqs could indicate a performance issue. For instance, a high
- rate of network softirqs (`NET_RX` and `NET_TX`) could indicate a network performance issue.
-
-- **Troubleshooting**: If a system is behaving unexpectedly, checking the softirqs could provide clues about
- what is going on. For example, a sudden increase in block device softirqs (BLOCK) might indicate a problem
- with a disk.
-
-- **Understanding system behavior**: Knowing what types of softirqs are happening can help you understand what
- your system is doing, particularly in terms of how it's interacting with hardware and how it's handling
- interrupts.

-
-
-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 SoftIRQ statistics instance
-
-
-
-This scope has no labels.
-
-Metrics:
-
-| Metric | Dimensions | Unit |
-|:------|:----------|:----|
-| system.softirqs | a dimension per softirq | softirqs/s |
-
-### Per cpu core
-
-
-
-Labels:
-
-| Label | Description |
-|:-----------|:----------------|
-| cpu | TBD |
-
-Metrics:
-
-| Metric | Dimensions | Unit |
-|:------|:----------|:----|
-| cpu.softirqs | a dimension per softirq | softirqs/s |
