-# slabinfo.plugin
-
-SLAB is a cache mechanism used by the Kernel to avoid fragmentation.
-
-Each internal structure (process, file descriptor, inode...) is stored within a SLAB.
-
-## configuring Netdata for slabinfo
-
-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.
-
-If you are using [our official native DEB/RPM packages](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/packaging/installer/methods/packages.md), you will additionally need to install the `netdata-plugin-slabinfo`
-package using your system package manager.
-
-There is currently no configuration needed for the plugin itself.
-
-As `/proc/slabinfo` is only readable by root, this plugin is setuid root.
-
-## For what use
-
-This slabinfo details allows to have clues on actions done on your system.
-In the following screenshot, you can clearly see a `find` done on a ext4 filesystem (the number of `ext4_inode_cache` & `dentry` are rising fast), and a few seconds later, an admin issued a `echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_cached` as their count dropped.
