## Overview
Monitor Applications for optimal software performance and resource usage.
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 applications group
These metrics refer to the application group.
Labels:
| Label | Description |
|:-----------|:----------------|
| app_group | The name of the group defined in the configuration. |
Metrics:
| Metric | Dimensions | Unit |
|:------|:----------|:----|
| app.cpu_utilization | user, system | percentage |
| app.cpu_guest_utilization | guest | percentage |
| app.cpu_context_switches | voluntary, involuntary | switches/s |
| app.mem_usage | rss | MiB |
| app.mem_private_usage | mem | MiB |
| app.vmem_usage | vmem | MiB |
| app.mem_page_faults | minor, major | pgfaults/s |
| app.swap_usage | swap | MiB |
| app.disk_physical_io | reads, writes | KiB/s |
| app.disk_logical_io | reads, writes | KiB/s |
| app.processes | processes | processes |
| app.threads | threads | threads |
| app.fds_open_limit | limit | percentage |
| app.fds_open | files, sockets, pipes, inotifies, event, timer, signal, eventpolls, other | fds |
