# Metrics
GoToSocial comes with [OpenTelemetry][otel] based metrics built-in with pull-style Prometheus exporter. Currently the following metrics are collected:
* Go performance and runtime metrics
* Gin (HTTP) metrics
* Bun (database) metrics
How to configure metrics is explained in the [Observability configuration reference][obs].
For a quickstart, add the following to your GoToSocial configuration and restart your instance:
```yaml
metrics-enabled: true
metrics-auth-enabled: true
metrics-auth-username: some_username
metrics-auth-password: some_password
```
This will expose the metrics under the endpoint `/metrics`, protected with HTTP Basic Authentication.
A following is an example how to configure a job for collecting the metrics in Prometheus `scrape_configs`:
```yaml
- job_name: gotosocial
metrics_path: /metrics
scheme: https
basic_auth:
username: some_username
password: some_password
static_configs:
- targets:
- example.org
```
