+# Visualize Prometheus metrics
+
+### Requirements
+- Run the docker-compose of the Controller.
+- Run the docker-compose of prometheus.
+
+
+### Check the metrics
+- To check the raw metrics hit this url in your browser: http://<IP>:1880/api/actuator/prometheus
+- To check the metrics though GUI, with some graphs, hit: http://<IP>:9090
+
+
+### Visualize metrics in Grafana
+- Access grafana in:  http://<IP>:3000/
+- Give the default username and password: "admin" (for both).
+- Specify the new password.
+- Then, add a "Prometheus" datasource.
+- Specify the prometheus url: http://<IP>:9090
+- Save the datasource.
+- Go to "dashboards", click "import", add the number "12900" in the input and click "load" and "next".
+- Then select the "prometheus" datasource and click "import".
+- Enjoy the graphs.
