+Available metrics
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+The metrics available in pretix follow the standard `metric types`_ from the Prometheus world.
+Currently, the following metrics are exported:
+
+pretix_view_requests_total
+    Counter. Counts requests to Django views, labeled with the resolved ``url_name``, the used
+    HTTP ``method`` and the ``status_code`` returned.
+
+pretix_view_durations_seconds
+    Histogram. Measures duration of requests to Django views, labeled with the resolved
+    ``url_name``, the used HTTP ``method`` and the ``status_code`` returned.
+
+pretix_task_runs_total
+    Counter. Counts executions of background tasks, labeled with the ``task_name`` and the
+    ``status``. The latter can be ``success``, ``error`` or ``expected-error``.
+
+pretix_task_duration_seconds
+    Histogram. Measures duration of successful background task executions, labeled with the
+    ``task_name``.
+
+pretix_model_instances
+    Gauge. Measures number of instances of a certain model within the database, labeled with
+    the ``model`` name.
