+==================================
+The Teuthology Prometheus Exporter
+==================================
+
+To help make it easier to determine the status of the lab, we've created a
+`Prometheus <https://prometheus.io/>`__ exporter (helpfully named
+`teuthology-exporter`. We use `Grafana <https://grafana.com/>`__ to visualize
+the data we collect.
+
+It listens on port 61764, and scrapes every 60 seconds by default.
