 Pleroma includes support for exporting metrics via the [prometheus_ex](https://github.com/deadtrickster/prometheus.ex) library.
 
+Config example:
+
+```
+config :prometheus, Pleroma.Web.Endpoint.MetricsExporter,
+  enabled: true,
+  auth: {:basic, "myusername", "mypassword"},
+  ip_whitelist: ["127.0.0.1"],
+  path: "/api/pleroma/app_metrics",
+  format: :text
+```
+
+* `enabled` (Pleroma extension) enables the endpoint

+* `auth` sets the authentication (`false` for no auth; configurable to HTTP Basic Auth, see [prometheus-plugs](https://github.com/deadtrickster/prometheus-plugs#exporting) documentation)
+* `format` sets the output format (`:text` or `:protobuf`)
+* `path` sets the path to app metrics page
