+If your Prometheus server is enabled to scrape native histograms (v2.40.0+),

 `observer_type` is only used when the statsd metric type is a timer, histogram, or distribution.
 `buckets` is only used when the statsd metric type is one of these, and the `observer_type` is set to `histogram`.

 There is a cache used to improve the performance of the metric mapping, that can greatly improvement performance.
 The cache has a default maximum of 1000 unique statsd metric names -> prometheus metrics mappings that it can store.
-This maximum can be adjust using the `statsd.cache-size` flag.
+This maximum can be adjusted using the `statsd.cache-size` flag.
 
 If the maximum is reached, entries are by default rotated using the [least recently used replacement policy](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cache_replacement_policies#Least_recently_used_(LRU)). This strategy is optimal when memory is constrained as only the most recent entries are retained.
