 # Setting up synapse-usage-exporter (optional)
 
-[synapse-usage-exporter](https://github.com/loelkes/synapse-usage-exporter) Allows you to export the usage statistics of a Synapse homeserver to this container service and be scraped by Prometheus. Synapse does not include usage statistics in its prometheus metrics. They can be reported to a HTTP PUT endpoint 5 minutes after startup and from then on at a fixed interval of once every three hours. This role integrates a simple Flask project that offers a HTTP PUT endpoint and holds the most recent received record available to be scraped py Prometheus.

+Synapse does not include usage statistics in its Prometheus metrics. They can be reported to an HTTP `PUT` endpoint 5 minutes after startup and from then on at a fixed interval of once every three hours. This role integrates a simple [Flask](https://flask.palletsprojects.com) project that offers an HTTP `PUT` endpoint and holds the most recent received record available to be scraped by Prometheus.
+
+Enabling this service will automatically:
+
+- install the synapse-usage-exporter service
+- re-configure Synapse to push (via HTTP `PUT`) usage statistics information to synapse-usage-exporter
+- re-configure [Prometheus](./configuring-playbook-prometheus-grafana.md) (if Grafana is enabled), to periodically scrape metrics from synapse-usage-exporter
+- add a new [Grafana](./configuring-playbook-prometheus-grafana.md) dashboard (if Grafana is enabled) containing Synapse usage statistics
