We currently have
jvm.file_descriptor.countto provide the current open file descriptors as reported by the JVM.A limit can be configured at the JVM or OS level, and this is exposed in the underlying JMX interface, thus it would be relevant to capture this as a
jvm.file_descriptor.limitmetric to complement the existingjvm.file_descriptor.count.
