= Built-in monitoring for {product} Operator This update introduces built-in monitoring for the {product} Operator. By enabling `spec.monitoring.enabled: true` in your Backstage custom resource, the {product} Operator will automatically manage service monitor resources for Prometheus metrics collection on the `/metrics` endpoint. This simplifies the monitoring process, eliminating the need for manual service monitor setup, and enhances the user experience on OpenShift and Kubernetes clusters with Prometheus Operator installed. == Additional resources * {monitoring-and-logging-book-link}#proc-admin-enabling-metrics-ocp-operator_assembly-rhdh-observability[Enabling metrics monitoring in a {product} Operator installation on an {ocp-short} cluster]
