# Telegraf plugin: procstat
#### Description
The procstat plugin can be used to monitor system resource usage by an
individual process using their /proc data.
Processes can be specified either by pid file, by executable name, by command
line pattern matching, by username, by systemd unit name, or by cgroup name/path
(in this order or priority). Procstat plugin will use `pgrep` when executable
name is provided to obtain the pid. Procstat 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.
The plugin will tag processes according to how they are specified in the configuration. If a pid file is used, a "pidfile" tag will be generated.
On the other hand, if an executable is used an "exe" tag will be generated. Possible tag names:
* pidfile
* exe
* pattern
* user
* systemd_unit
* cgroup
Additionally the plugin will tag processes by their PID (pid_tag = true in the config) and their process name:
* pid
* process_name
Example:
```
[[inputs.procstat]]
exe = "influxd"
prefix = "influxd"
[[inputs.procstat]]
pid_file = "/var/run/lxc/dnsmasq.pid"
```
The above configuration would result in output like:
```
