[collectd] Linux Proces Monitoring With Collectd & Graphite

[amit shah]

Few follow up questions.
1. So to collect statistics for different processes I would have to include
multiple <Plugin processes> in the conf file?

2. The processes plugin captures cpu usage along with other statistics. How
do I gather memory statistics for specific processes?

Thanks!
