+## Telemetry & Metrics
+
+The Bolt sidecar offers an optional set of metrics that can be scraped by a Prometheus server, and shown in Grafana dashboards.
+They show various informations such as the number of constraints received, the number of blocks proposed, etc.
+
+These metrics are enabled by default but can be disabled by setting running the sidecar with the `--metrics` flag set to `false`.
