Description

In our UI and documentation, we refer to the System integration docs to explain to users how to configure which processes are observed:

However, these docs do not mention how to configure the system integration to emit processes as the beats documentation does (i.e. process.include_top_n.by_cpu).

This issue is to ensure someone who opens the System documentation knows how to configure it as they would with the system module in metricbeat.
