## configuring Netdata for slabinfo
-There is currently no configuration needed.
+The plugin is disabled by default because it collects and displays a huge amount of metrics.
+To enable it set `slabinfo = yes` in the `plugins` section of the `netdata.conf` configuration file.
+
+There is currently no configuration needed for the plugin itself.
As `/proc/slabinfo` is only readable by root, this plugin is setuid root.
