# Overview

> Integrate Simplismart metrics with your monitoring and observability tools

Simplismart exposes deployment metrics in Prometheus format, ready for integration with any observability platform. Monitor GPU utilization, Kubernetes health, and HTTP request metrics, all from a single endpoint.

## Quick Start

<Steps>
  <Step title="Configure scrape endpoint">
    Below given is the scrape endpoint:

    ```
    https://api.app.simplismart.ai/observability/metrics/federate/
    ```

    <Note>
      The Federate API is rate limited to 5 requests per minute.
    </Note>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set up authentication">
    Use [Simplismart API KEY](/model-suite/settings/api-keys) for authentication.

    ```yaml theme={null}
    authorization:
      type: Bearer
      credentials: "${SIMPLISMART_API_KEY}"
    ```
  </Step>

  <Step title="Configure scrape interval">
    The recommended scrape interval is 60 seconds.
    It is advised not to reduce the interval below 30 seconds, as shorter intervals may not provide meaningful additional visibility and can lead to unnecessary overhead.
  </Step>
</Steps>
