# Semantic Conventions for System Metrics
**Status**: [Experimental][DocumentStatus]
This document describes instruments and attributes for common system level
metrics in OpenTelemetry. Consider the [general metric semantic
conventions](/docs/general/metrics.md#general-metric-semantic-conventions) when creating
instruments not explicitly defined in the specification.
The `system.*` namespace SHOULD be exclusively used to report hosts' metrics.
The `system.*` namespace SHOULD only be used when the metrics are collected from within the target system. (physical servers, virtual machines etc).
Metrics collected from technology-specific, well-defined APIs (e.g. Kubelet's API or container runtimes)
should be reported under their respective namespace (e.g. k8s.*, container.*).
Resource attributes related to a host, SHOULD be reported under the `host.*` namespace.

**[1]:** The value SHOULD be normalized to lowercase.
Consider always setting the transport when setting a port number, since
a port number is ambiguous without knowing the transport. For example
different processes could be listening on TCP port 12345 and UDP port 12345.

## `system.{os}.` - OS Specific System Metrics
Instrument names for system level metrics that have different and conflicting
meaning across multiple OSes should be prefixed with `system.{os}.` and
follow the hierarchies listed above for different entities like CPU, memory,
and network.
For example, [UNIX load
average](https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Load_(computing)) over a given
interval is not well standardized and its value across different UNIX like
OSes may vary despite being under similar load:
> Without getting into the vagaries of every Unix-like operating system in
existence, the load average more or less represents the average number of
processes that are in the running (using the CPU) or runnable (waiting for
the CPU) states. One notable exception exists: Linux includes processes in
uninterruptible sleep states, typically waiting for some I/O activity to
complete. This can markedly increase the load average on Linux systems.
([source of

An instrument for load average over 1 minute on Linux could be named
`system.linux.cpu.load_1m`, reusing the `cpu` name proposed above and having
an `{os}` prefix to split this metric across OSes.

### Metric: `system.linux.memory.available`
<!-- semconv metric.system.linux.memory.available(metric_table) -->
<!-- NOTE: THIS TEXT IS AUTOGENERATED. DO NOT EDIT BY HAND. -->
<!-- see templates/registry/markdown/snippet.md.j2 -->
<!-- prettier-ignore-start -->

<!-- markdownlint-disable -->
| Name | Instrument Type | Unit (UCUM) | Description | Stability |
| -------- | --------------- | ----------- | -------------- | --------- |
| `system.linux.memory.available` | UpDownCounter | `By` | An estimate of how much memory is available for starting new applications, without causing swapping [1] | ![Experimental](https://img.shields.io/badge/-experimental-blue) |
**[1]:** This is an alternative to `system.memory.usage` metric with `state=free`.
Linux starting from 3.14 exports "available" memory. It takes "free" memory as a baseline, and then factors in kernel-specific values.
This is supposed to be more accurate than just "free" memory.
For reference, see the calculations [here](https://superuser.com/a/980821).
See also `MemAvailable` in [/proc/meminfo](https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man5/proc.5.html).
