+- Dawarich now can export metrics to Prometheus. You can find the metrics at `your.host:9394/metrics` endpoint. The metrics are being exported in the Prometheus format and can be scraped by Prometheus server. To enable exporting, set the `PROMETHEUS_EXPORTER_ENABLED` env var in your docker-compose.yml to `true`. Example:
+
+```yaml
+  dawarich_app:
+    image: freikin/dawarich:latest
+    container_name: dawarich_app
+    environment:
+      ...
+      PROMETHEUS_EXPORTER_ENABLED: "true"
+```
