+==== Prometheus metrics for the descheduler
+
+You can now enable Prometheus metrics for the descheduler by adding the `openshift.io/cluster-monitoring=true` label to the `openshift-kube-descheduler-operator` namespace where you installed the descheduler.
+
+The following descheduler metrics are available:
+
+* `descheduler_build_info` - Provides build information about the descheduler.
+* `descheduler_pods_evicted` - Provides the number of pods that have been evicted for each combination of strategy, namespace, and result. There must be at least one evicted pod for this metric to appear.
