 Backups exclude `/pds/blocks` (blobs are already in S3). Each backup is a tarball named `{type}-YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS.tar.gz`.
 
+## Monitoring
+
+Set `pds_telemetry_enabled: true` in `vars/main.yml` to enable OpenTelemetry metrics and deploy the monitoring stack (Prometheus + Grafana + node_exporter). The PDS pushes metrics over OTLP to Prometheus, which receives them directly (no collector needed).
+
+**Access Grafana via SSH tunnel:**
+
+```bash
+ssh -L 3001:localhost:3001 sysadmin@your-server
+```
+
+Then open `http://localhost:3001` and log in with `admin`/`admin` (change on first login). The PDS Overview dashboard is provisioned automatically in a folder named "PDS".

+|---|---|---|
+| Grafana | 3001 | Dashboard UI |
+| Prometheus | 9090 | Metrics query API |
+| node_exporter | 9100 | Host metrics |
+
+Prometheus retains 15 days of data by default. Data is stored in Docker volumes, not under `/pds`, so it's not included in PDS backups.
