+## Prometheus Metrics
+Two metrics (above and beyond what are exposed by the Go Prometheus library) are exposed on :8080/metrics
+* last_run_time - The time of the last feed checks, useful for creating alerts to check for successful runs.
+* issues_created - The total number of issues created in Gitlab, useful to check for runaways.
+
 ### TODO
 * Make the retroactive setting of the Gitlab creation time optional.
