Linux Sysctl FS Input Plugin

The linux_sysctl_fs input provides Linux system level file metrics. The documentation on these fields can be found at https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/sysctl/fs.txt.

Example output:

> linux_sysctl_fs,host=foo dentry-want-pages=0i,file-max=44222i,aio-max-nr=65536i,inode-preshrink-nr=0i,dentry-nr=64340i,dentry-unused-nr=55274i,file-nr=1568i,aio-nr=0i,inode-nr=35952i,inode-free-nr=12957i,dentry-age-limit=45i 1490982022000000000

Global configuration options

In addition to the plugin-specific configuration settings, plugins support additional global and plugin configuration settings. These settings are used to modify metrics, tags, and field or create aliases and configure ordering, etc. See the CONFIGURATION.md for more details.
