Example Read Plugin — Processes Plugin

The processes plugin collects the number of processes, grouped by their state (e. g. running, sleeping, zombies, etc.). Additionally, it can collect detailed statistics about selected processes, grouped by name. For more information about specifying the selected processes, refer to the collectd.conf(5) man page. For example, the following configuration snippet can be used to collect detailed statistics on Apache HTTP server processes, the Cloud agent processes, and collectd's own process running on a particular system.
