# IRQ

Availability: Linux

This plugin is disable by default, please use the –enable irq option to enable it.

Glances displays the top `5` interrupts rate.

This plugin is only available on GNU/Linux (stats are grabbed from the `/proc/interrupts` file).

Note

`/proc/interrupts` file doesn’t exist inside OpenVZ containers.

How to read the information:

- The first column is the IRQ number / name

- The second column says how many times the CPU has been interrupted during the last second
