-# xenstat.plugin
-
-`xenstat.plugin` collects XenServer and XCP-ng statistics.
-
-## Prerequisites
-
-1. install `xen-dom0-libs-devel` and `yajl-devel` using the package manager of your system.
- Note: On Cent-OS systems you will need `centos-release-xen` repository and the required package for xen is `xen-devel`
-
-2. re-install Netdata from source. The installer will detect that the required libraries are now available and will also build xenstat.plugin.
-
-Keep in mind that `libxenstat` requires root access, so the plugin is setuid to root.
-
-## Charts
-
-The plugin provides XenServer and XCP-ng host and domains statistics:
-
-Host:
-
-1. Number of domains.
-
-Domain:
-
-1. CPU.
-2. Memory.
-3. Networks.
-4. VBDs.
-
-## Configuration
-
-If you need to disable xenstat for Netdata, edit /etc/netdata/netdata.conf and set:
-
-```
-[plugins]
- xenstat = no
-```
-
-## Debugging
-
-You can run the plugin by hand:
-
-```
-sudo /usr/libexec/netdata/plugins.d/xenstat.plugin 1 debug
-```
-
-You will get verbose output on what the plugin does.

+
+## Overview
+
+This collector monitors XenServer and XCP-ng host and domains statistics.
+
+
+
+This collector is supported on all platforms.
+
+This collector supports collecting metrics from multiple instances of this integration, including remote instances.
+
+The plugin needs setuid.
+
+### Default Behavior
+
+#### Auto-Detection
+
+This plugin requires the `xen-dom0-libs-devel` and `yajl-devel` libraries to be installed.
+
+#### 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 Xen/XCP-ng instance
+
+These metrics refer to the entire monitored application.
+
+This scope has no labels.
+
+Metrics:
+
+| Metric | Dimensions | Unit |
+|:------|:----------|:----|
+| xenstat.mem | free, used | MiB |
+| xenstat.domains | domains | domains |
+| xenstat.cpus | cpus | cpus |
+| xenstat.cpu_freq | frequency | MHz |
+
+### Per xendomain
+
+Metrics related to Xen domains. Each domain provides its own set of the following metrics.
+
+This scope has no labels.
+
+Metrics:
+
+| Metric | Dimensions | Unit |
+|:------|:----------|:----|
+| xendomain.states | running, blocked, paused, shutdown, crashed, dying | boolean |
+| xendomain.cpu | used | percentage |
+| xendomain.mem | maximum, current | MiB |
+| xendomain.vcpu | a dimension per vcpu | percentage |
+
+### Per xendomain vbd
+
+Metrics related to Xen domain Virtual Block Device. Each VBD provides its own set of the following metrics.
+
+This scope has no labels.
+
+Metrics:
+
+| Metric | Dimensions | Unit |
+|:------|:----------|:----|
+| xendomain.oo_req_vbd | requests | requests/s |
+| xendomain.requests_vbd | read, write | requests/s |
+| xendomain.sectors_vbd | read, write | sectors/s |
+
+### Per xendomain network
+
+Metrics related to Xen domain network interfaces. Each network interface provides its own set of the following metrics.
+
+This scope has no labels.
+
+Metrics:
+
+| Metric | Dimensions | Unit |
+|:------|:----------|:----|
+| xendomain.bytes_network | received, sent | kilobits/s |
+| xendomain.packets_network | received, sent | packets/s |
+| xendomain.errors_network | received, sent | errors/s |
+| xendomain.drops_network | received, sent | drops/s |
+
+
+
+## Alerts
+
+There are no alerts configured by default for this integration.
+
+
+## Setup
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+#### Libraries
+
+1. Install `xen-dom0-libs-devel` and `yajl-devel` using the package manager of your system.
+
+ Note: On Cent-OS systems you will need `centos-release-xen` repository and the required package for xen is `xen-devel`
+
+2. Re-install Netdata from source. The installer will detect that the required libraries are now available and will also build xenstat.plugin.
+
+
+
+### Configuration
+
+#### File
+
+The configuration file name for this integration is `netdata.conf`.
+Configuration for this specific integration is located in the `[plugin:xenstat]` section within that file.
+
+The file format is a modified INI syntax. The general structure is:
+
+```ini
+[section1]
+ option1 = some value
+ option2 = some other value
+
+[section2]
+ option3 = some third value
+```
+You can edit the configuration file using the `edit-config` script from the
+Netdata [config directory](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/configure/nodes.md#the-netdata-config-directory).
+
+```bash
+cd /etc/netdata 2>/dev/null || cd /opt/netdata/etc/netdata
+sudo ./edit-config netdata.conf
+```
+#### Options
+
+
+
+<details><summary>Config options</summary>
+
+| Name | Description | Default | Required |
+|:----|:-----------|:-------|:--------:|
+| update every | Data collection frequency. | 1 | False |
