+#### Description
 
 The procstat plugin can be used to monitor system resource usage by an
-individual process.
+individual process using their /proc data.
 
 Processes can be specified either by pid file or by executable name. Procstat
 plugin will use `pgrep` when executable name is provided to obtain the pid. Proctsta 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.
