+@ FREEBSD.0 Instance domain for load average
+Universally 3 instances, "1 minute" (1), "5 minute" (5) and
+"15 minute" (15).
+
+@ FREEBSD.1 CPU Instance domain for kernel.percpu metrics
+One instance for each physical CPU.
+
+@ FREEBSD.2 DISK Instance domain for disk.dev metrics
+One instance for each physical "direct access" device.
+
+@ kernel.all.hz system hz rate
+Microseconds per "hz" tick.
+@ kernel.all.load 1, 5 and 15 minute load average
+@ kernel.all.pswitch count of context switches
+@ kernel.all.syscall count of system calls
+@ kernel.all.intr count of interrupts serviced
+@ kernel.all.cpu.user total user CPU time for all CPUs
