+Under the ``intervals`` directory, one directory for automated tuning of
+``sample_us`` and ``aggr_us``, namely ``intervals_goal`` directory also exists.
+Under the directory, four files for the auto-tuning control, namely
+``access_bp``, ``aggrs``, ``min_sample_us`` and ``max_sample_us`` exist.
+Please refer to  the :ref:`design document of the feature
+<damon_design_monitoring_intervals_autotuning>` for the internal of the tuning
+mechanism.  Reading and writing the four files under ``intervals_goal``
+directory shows and updates the tuning parameters that described in the
+:ref:design doc <damon_design_monitoring_intervals_autotuning>` with the same
+names.  The tuning starts with the user-set ``sample_us`` and ``aggr_us``.  The
+tuning-applied current values of the two intervals can be read from the
+``sample_us`` and ``aggr_us`` files after writing ``update_tuned_intervals`` to
+the ``state`` file.
