 # idlejitter.plugin
 
-It works like this:
+Idle jitter is a measure of delays in timing for user processes caused by scheduling limitations.
+
+## How Netdata measures idle jitter
 
 A thread is spawned that requests to sleep for 20000 microseconds (20ms).
 When the system wakes it up, it measures how many microseconds have passed.
@@ -14,7 +16,17 @@ This is done at most 50 times per second, to ensure we have a good average.
 
 This number is useful:
 
-1.  in real-time environments, when the CPU jitter can affect the quality of the service (like VoIP media gateways).
-2.  in cloud infrastructure, at can pause the VM or container for a small duration to perform operations at the host. 
+- In multimedia-streaming environments such as VoIP gateways, where the CPU jitter can affect the quality of the service.
+- On time servers and other systems that require very precise timing, where CPU jitter can actively interfere with timing precision.
+- On gaming systems, where CPU jitter can cause frame drops and stuttering.
+- In cloud infrastructure that can pause the VM or container for a small duration to perform operations at the host.
+
+## Charts
+
+idlejitter.plugin generates the idlejitter chart which measures CPU idle jitter in milliseconds lost per second. 
+
+## Configuration
+
+This chart is available without any configuration.
