# Telegraf plugin: procstat
#### Description
2015-10-05 20:24:06 +00:00
The procstat plugin can be used to monitor system resource usage by an
individual process using their /proc data.

The plugin will tag processes by their PID and their process name.
Processes can be specified either by pid file, by executable name, by command
line pattern matching, or by username (in this order or priority. Procstat
plugin will use `pgrep` when executable name is provided to obtain the pid.
Proctstas plugin will transmit IO, memory, cpu, file descriptor related
measurements for every process specified. A prefix can be set to isolate
individual process specific measurements.

Example:
```
2016-01-15 22:55:41 +00:00
[[inputs.procstat]]
exe = "influxd"
prefix = "influxd"
2016-01-15 22:55:41 +00:00
[[inputs.procstat]]
pid_file = "/var/run/lxc/dnsmasq.pid"
```
2015-10-05 20:24:06 +00:00
The above configuration would result in output like:
```
2016-01-15 22:55:41 +00:00
> procstat,name="dnsmasq",pid="44979" cpu_user=0.14,cpu_system=0.07
> procstat,name="influxd",pid="34337" influxd_cpu_user=25.43,influxd_cpu_system=21.82
2015-10-05 20:24:06 +00:00
```
