# kern.ipc.shm
<img src="https://netdata.cloud/img/memory.svg" width="150"/>
Plugin: freebsd.plugin
Module: kern.ipc.shm
<img src="https://img.shields.io/badge/maintained%20by-Netdata-%2300ab44" />
## Overview
Collect shared memory information.
The plugin calls `sysctl` function to collect necessary data.
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 kern.ipc.shm instance
These metrics give status about current shared memory segments.
This scope has no labels.
Metrics:
| Metric | Dimensions | Unit |
|:------|:----------|:----|
| system.ipc_shared_mem_segs | segments | segments |
| system.ipc_shared_mem_size | allocated | KiB |
## Alerts
There are no alerts configured by default for this integration.
## Setup
### Prerequisites
No action required.
### Configuration
#### File
The configuration file name for this integration is `netdata.conf`.
Configuration for this specific integration is located in the `[plugin:freebsd]` section within that file.

sudo ./edit-config netdata.conf
```
