+# Metrics
+
+You can optionally setup [prometheus](https://prometheus.io/) and
+[grafana](https://grafana.com/) for metrics.
+
+We follow this tutorial [here](https://medium.com/@chris_linguine/how-to-monitor-your-kubernetes-cluster-with-prometheus-and-grafana-2d5704187fc8):
+
+```bash
+kubectl proxy # proxy to your kubernetes dashboard
+
+helm repo list
+# If using helm v3, the stable repository is not set, so you need to manually add it.
+helm repo add stable https://kubernetes-charts.storage.googleapis.com
+# Create a monitoring namespace for your cluster
+kubectl create namespace monitoring
+helm --namespace monitoring install prometheus stable/prometheus
+kubectl -n monitoring get pods # look for 'server'
+kubectl port-forward -n monitoring <PROMETHEUS_SERVER_ID> 9090
+# You can now see your prometheus server on: http://localhost:9090
+
+# Make sure you are in folder `deployment/`
+kubectl apply -f monitoring/grafana/config.yml
+helm --namespace monitoring install grafana stable/grafana -f monitoring/grafana/values.yml
+# Get the admin password for grafana from your kubernetes dashboard.
+kubectl --namespace monitoring port-forward <POD_NAME> 3000
+# You can now see your grafana dashboard on: http://localhost:3000
+# Login with user 'admin' and the password you just looked up.
+# In your dashboard import this dashboard:
+# https://grafana.com/grafana/dashboards/1860
+# Enter ID 180 and choose "Prometheus" as datasource.
+# You got metrics!
+```
+
+Now you should see something like this:
+
+![Grafana dashboard](./grafana/metrics.png)
+
+You can set up a grafana dashboard, by visiting https://grafana.com/dashboards, finding one that is suitable and copying it's id.
+You then go to the left hand menu in localhost, choose `Dashboard` > `Manage` > `Import`
+Paste in the id, click `Load`, select `Prometheus` for the data source, and click `Import`
+
+When you just installed prometheus and grafana, the data will not be available
+immediately, so wait for a couple of minutes and reload.
