Proposal to add system.linux.memory.available

[ItsLastDay]

What are you trying to achieve?

Linux kernel exposes a memory metric called available, which helps to understand how much memory is really available for the userspace apps. See open-telemetry/opentelemetry-collector-contrib#7417.

This value is unique to Linux, hence the system.linux prefix: see open-telemetry/opentelemetry-collector-contrib#19149 (comment).

What did you expect to see?

system.linux.memory.available - Gauge metric of integer type, meaning number of bytes available. No attributes.

Additional context.
