Collectd CPUFreq 🔗

Description 🔗

The Splunk Distribution of OpenTelemetry Collector provides this integration as the collectd/cpufreq monitor type for the Smart Agent Receiver.

Use this integration to monitor the clock speed of each CPU on a host. This is useful for systems that vary the clock speed to save energy.

Note

This monitor is not available on Windows as collectd plugins are only supported in Linux and Kubernetes.

  • View metrics. You can create your own custom dashboards, and most monitors provide built-in dashboards as well. For information about dashboards, see View dashboards in Observability Cloud.

  • View a data-driven visualization of the physical servers, virtual machines, AWS instances, and other resources in your environment that are visible to Infrastructure Monitoring. For information about navigators, see Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring navigators.
