+## Enabling monitoring with Prometheus
 
 Kamon supports many other monitoring [backends](https://kamon.io/docs/latest/reporters/).
 This can be useful for nodes that don't want to export any data to third-party servers.
 
-No specific work has been done yet in eclair to support these backends. If you'd like to use them,
-don't hesitate to ask around or send a PR.
+Eclair currently supports exporting metrics to [Prometheus](https://kamon.io/docs/latest/reporters/prometheus/).
+To enable monitoring with Prometheus, add the following to your `eclair.conf`:
+
+```config
+eclair.enable-kamon=true
+
+// The Kamon APM reporter is enabled by default, but it won't work with Prometheus, so we disable it.
+kamon.modules {
+  apm-reporter {
+    enabled = false
+  }
+}
+
+kamon {
+  prometheus {
+    start-embedded-http-server = yes
+    embedded-server {
+      hostname = 0.0.0.0
+      port = <port to expose to prometheus>
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+You should then configure your Prometheus process to scrape metrics from the exposed http server. 
+* Download Prometheus [here](https://prometheus.io/download/).
+* Add the following configuration to the `prometheus.yml` file (see the [Prometheus documentation](https://prometheus.io/docs/prometheus/latest/configuration/configuration/) for more details)
+
+```prometheus.yml
+global:
+  scrape_interval:     15s # By default, scrape targets every 15 seconds.
+
+scrape_configs:
+  - job_name: 'eclair'
+    static_configs:
+      - targets: ['<url of the eclair http embedded server>']
