+## synapse-usage-exporter support
+
+Thanks to [Michael Hollister](https://github.com/Michael-Hollister) from [FUTO](https://www.futo.org/), the creators of the [Circles app](https://circu.li/), the playbook can now set up [synapse-usage-exporter](https://github.com/loelkes/synapse-usage-exporter) - a small [Flask](https://flask.palletsprojects.com)-based webservice which can capture usage statistics from Synapse (via HTTP `PUT`) and then make them available for Prometheus to scrape.
+
+To learn more see our [Enabling synapse-usage-exporter for Synapse usage statistics](docs/configuring-playbook-synapse-usage-exporter.md) documentation page.
