+
+The Keptn Lifecycle Toolkit (KLT) makes any Kubernetes deployment observable.
+In other words, it creates a distributed, end-to-end trace
+of everything Kubernetes does in the context of a Deployment.
+It provides this information
+for all applications running in your cluster,
+and includes information about
+everything Kubernetes does in the context of a deployment.
+To do this,
+Keptn introduces the concept of an `application`,
+which is an abstraction that connects multiple
+Workloads that logically belong together,
+even if they use different deployment strategies.
+
+This means that:
+
+- You can readily see why a deployment takes so long
+  or why it fails, even when using multiple deployment strategies.
+- KLT can capture DORA metrics and expose them as OpenTelemetry metrics
+
+The observability data is an amalgamation of the following:
+
+- DORA metrics are collected out of the box
+  when the Lifecycle Toolkit is enabled
+- OpenTelemetry runs traces that show
+  everything that happens in the Kubernetes cluster
+- Custom Keptn metrics that you can use to monitor
+  information from all the data providers configured in your cluster
+
+All this information can be displayed with dashboard tools
+such as Grafana.
+
+For an introduction to using OpenTelemetry with Keptn metrics, see the
+[Standardize observability](../getting-started/observability)
+getting started guide.
+
+## DORA metrics
+
+DORA metrics are an industry-standard set of measurements;
+see the following for a description:
+
+- [What are DORA Metrics and Why Do They Matter?](https://codeclimate.com/blog/dora-metrics)
+- [Are you an Elite DevOps Performer?
+   Find out with the Four Keys Project](https://cloud.google.com/blog/products/devops-sre/using-the-four-keys-to-measure-your-devops-performance)
+
+DORA metrics provide information such as:
+
+- How many deployments happened in the last six hours?
+- Time between deployments
+- Deployment time between versions
+- Average time between versions.
+
+The Keptn Lifecycle Toolkit starts collecting these metrics
+as soon as you apply
+[basic annotations](integrate/#basic-annotations)
+to the `Deployment` resource.
+Metrics are collected only for the `Deployment` resources
+that are annotated.
+
+To view DORA metrics, run the following command:
+
+```shell
+kubectl port-forward -n keptn-lifecycle-toolkit-system \
+   svc/lifecycle-operator-metrics-service 2222
+```
+
+Then view the metrics at:
+
+```shell
+http://localhost:2222/metrics
+```
+
+DORA metrics are also displayed on Grafana
+or whatever dashboard application you choose.
+
+## OpenTelemetry
+
+### Requirements for OpenTelemetry
+
 To access OpenTelemetry metrics with the Keptn Lifecycle Toolkit,
-you must:
+you must have the following on your cluster:
 
-- Install an OpenTelemetry collector on your cluster.
+- An OpenTelemetry collector.
   See
   [OpenTelemetry Collector](https://opentelemetry.io/docs/collector/)
   for more information.
+- Prometheus Operator.
+  See [Prometheus Operator Setup](https://github.com/prometheus-operator/kube-prometheus/blob/main/docs/customizing.md).
+- The Prometheus Operator must have the required permissions
+  to watch resources of the `keptn-lifecycle-toolkit-system` namespace (see
+  [Setup for Monitoring other Namespaces](https://prometheus-operator.dev/docs/kube/monitoring-other-namespaces/).
+
+If you want a dashboard for reviewing metrics and traces,
+you need:
+
+- [Grafana](https://grafana.com/)
+  or the dashboard of your choice.
+   See
+  [Grafana Setup](https://grafana.com/docs/grafana/latest/setup-grafana/).
+
+- [Jaeger](https://jaegertracing.io)
+  or a similar tool if you want traces.
+   See
+  [Jaeger Setup](https://github.com/jaegertracing/jaeger-operator).
+
+If you do not already have an installation of the Jaeger
+[manifest](https://github.com/jaegertracing/jaeger-operator/releases/download/v1.38.0/jaeger-operator.yaml),
+use the following commands to
+install Jaeger into the `observability` namespace
+and the Jaeger resource into the `lifecycle-toolkit` namespace:
+
+```shell
+kubectl create namespace observability
+kubectl apply -f \
+    https://github.com/jaegertracing/jaeger-operator/releases/download/v1.38.0/jaeger-operator.yaml \
+    -n observability
+kubectl apply -f config/jaeger.yaml -n keptn-lifecycle-toolkit-system
+```
+
+To install Prometheus into the `monitoring` namespace,
+use the following commands:
+
+```shell
+kubectl create namespace monitoring
+kubectl apply --server-side -f config/prometheus/setup
+kubectl apply -f config/prometheus/
+```
+
+### Integrate OpenTelemetry into the Keptn Lifecycle Toolkit
+
+To integrate OpenTelementry into the Keptn Lifecycle Toolkit:
+
 - Apply
   [basic annotations](../implementing/integrate/#basic-annotations)
   for your `Deployment` resource
   to integrate the Lifecycle Toolkit into your Kubernetes cluster.
+- To expose OpenTelemetry metrics,
+  define a [KeptnConfig](../yaml-crd-ref/config.md) resource
+  that has the `spec.OTelCollectorUrl` field populated
+  with the URL of the OpenTelemetry collector.
+
+The
+[otel-collector.yaml](https://github.com/keptn/lifecycle-toolkit/blob/main/examples/support/observability/config/otel-collector.yaml)
+is the OpenTelementry manifest file for the PodtatoHead example,
+located in the `config` directory.
+To deploy and configure the OpenTelemetry collector
+using this manifest, the command is:
+
+```shell
+kubectl apply -f config/otel-collector.yaml \
+    -n keptn-lifecycle-toolkit-system
+```
+
+Use the following command to confirm that the pod
+for the `otel-collector` deployment is up and running:
+
+```shell
+$ kubectl get pods -lapp=opentelemetry \
+    -n keptn-lifecycle-toolkit-system
+
+NAME                              READY   STATUS    RESTARTS      AGE
+otel-collector-6fc4cc84d6-7hnvp   1/1     Running   0             92m
+```
+
+If you want to extend the OTel Collector configuration
+to send your telemetry data to other Observability platform,
+you can edit the Collector `ConfigMap` with the following command:
+
+```shell
+kubectl edit configmap otel-collector-conf \
+    -n keptn-lifecycle-toolkit-system
+```
+
+When the `otel-collector` pod is up and running,
+restart the `keptn-scheduler` and `lifecycle-operator`
+so they can pick up the new configuration:
+
+```shell
+kubectl rollout restart deployment \
+    -n keptn-lifecycle-toolkit-system keptn-scheduler lifecycle-operator
+```
 
 KLT begins to collect OpenTelemetry metrics
 as soon as the `Deployment` resource
 has the basic annotations to integrate KLT in the cluster.
 
-To expose OpenTelemetry metrics,
-define a [KeptnConfig](../yaml-crd-ref/config.md) resource
-that has the `spec.OTelCollectorUrl` field populated
-with the URL of the OpenTelemetry collector.
