+# Prometheus plugin for c-lightning
+
+This plugin exposes some key metrics from c-lightning in the prometheus format
+so it can be scraped, plotted and alerts can be created on it. The plugin adds
+the following command line arguments:
+
+ - `prometheus-listen`: the IP address and port to bind the HTTP server to
+   (default: `0.0.0.0:9900`)
+   
+Exposed variables include:
+
+ - `node`: ID, version, ...
+ - `peers`: whether they are connected, and how many channels are currently
+   open
+ - `channels`: fund allocations, spendable funds, and how many unresolved
+   HTLCs are currently attached to the channel
+ - `funds`: satoshis in on-chain outputs, satoshis allocated to channels and
+   total sum (may be inaccurate during channel resolution).
