+ This integration requires read access to `/proc/slabinfo`, which is accessible only to the root user by
+ default. Netdata uses Linux Capabilities to give the plugin access to this file. `CAP_DAC_READ_SEARCH`
+ is added automatically during installation. This capability allows bypassing file read permission checks
+ and directory read and execute permission checks. If file capabilities are not usable, then the plugin is
+ instead installed with the SUID bit set in permissions sVko that it runs as root.
