Hi @wangpei-nice

Could you elaborate on what _monitoring process scheduling_ is?

Hi @ilyam8  
For example, when the desktop system is stuck, I hope to know the current system process scheduling priority situation through Netdata, so as to provide some reference for optimizing the process scheduling to make sure the desktop system works smoothly.  
Best Regards.

Hm, I would recommend keeping an eye on [System Load Average](http://www.brendangregg.com/blog/2017-08-08/linux-load-averages.html) and [Pressure Stall Information](https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/accounting/psi.html) charts:

- System-\>load (load average)
- System-\>cpu (CPU PSI)
- System-\>disk (IO devices PSI)
- System-\>ram (Memory PSI)

Perhaps it is not what you want, but read the articles about those metrics.

> make sure the desktop system works smoothly

Well, checking basic system metrics is enough: CPU, Memory, Disks.
