+DAG File Processing
+-------------------
+
+DAG File Processing refers to the process of turning Python files contained in 
the DAGs folder into DAG objects that contain tasks to be scheduled.
+
+There are two primary components involved in DAG file processing.  The 
``DagFileProcessorManager`` is a process executing an infinite loop that 
determines which files need
+to be processed, and the ``DagFileProcessorProcess`` is a separate process 
that is started to convert an individual file into one or more DAG objects.
+
+The ``DagFileProcessorManager`` runs user codes. As a result, you can decide 
to run it as a standalone process in a different host than the scheduler 
process.
+If you decide to run it as a standalone process, you need to set this 
configuration: ``AIRFLOW__SCHEDULER__STANDALONE_DAG_PROCESSOR=True`` and
+run the ``airflow dag-processor`` CLI command, otherwise, starting the 
``Scheduler`` process will start the ``DagFileProcessorManager``.
+
+.. image:: /img/dag_file_processing_diagram.png
+
+``DagFileProcessorManager`` has the following steps:
+
+1. Check for new files:  If the elapsed time since the DAG was last refreshed 
is > :ref:`config:scheduler__dag_dir_list_interval` then update the file paths 
list
+2. Exclude recently processed files:  Exclude files that have been processed 
more recently than 
:ref:`min_file_process_interval<config:scheduler__min_file_process_interval>` 
and have not been modified
+3. Queue file paths: Add files discovered to the file path queue
+4. Process files:  Start a new ``DagFileProcessorProcess`` for each file, up 
to a maximum of :ref:`config:scheduler__parsing_processes`
+5. Collect results: Collect the result from any finished DAG processors
+6. Log statistics:  Print statistics and emit 
``dag_processing.total_parse_time``
+
+``DagFileProcessorProcess`` has the following steps:
+
+1. Process file: The entire process must complete within 
:ref:`dag_file_processor_timeout<config:core__dag_file_processor_timeout>`
+2. Load modules from file: Uses Python imp command, must complete within 
:ref:`dagbag_import_timeout<config:core__dagbag_import_timeout>`

Review Comment:
   This can be potentially confusing since DagGileProcessorProcess does not 
actually use `imp` (the module is deprecated) but `importlib` instead. We 
probably don’t need to get into the implementation details too much; it should 
be enough to simply mention the DAG files are loaded as a Python module.

Review Comment:
   ```suggestion
   run the ``airflow dag-processor`` CLI command, otherwise, starting the 
scheduler process (``airflow scheduler``) also starts the 
``DagFileProcessorManager``.
   ```
