# Prometheus metrics

Metrics for the processes and other aspects are provided for a Prometheus scraper on `/metrics`.

{% hint style="success" %}
You have to set [metrics.enable](/core/configuration/metrics.md#enable-bool) and [metrics.enable\_prometheus](/core/configuration/metrics.md#enable_prometheus-bool) to `true` in the settings
{% endhint %}

Currently, available metrics are:
