+## Monitoring the Upjet Runtime
+The [Kubernetes controller-runtime] library provides a Prometheus metrics
+endpoint by default. The Upjet based providers including the
+[upbound/provider-aws], [upbound/provider-azure], [upbound/provider-azuread] and
+[upbound/provider-gcp] expose [various
+metrics](https://book.kubebuilder.io/reference/metrics-reference.html)
+from the controller-runtime to help monitor the health of the various runtime
+components, such as the [`controller-runtime` client], the [leader election
+client], the [controller workqueues], etc. In addition to these metrics, each
+controller also
+[exposes](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/controller-runtime/blob/60af59f5b22335516850ca11c974c8f614d5d073/pkg/internal/controller/metrics/metrics.go#L25)
+various metrics related to the reconciliation of the custom resources and active
+reconciliation worker goroutines.
+
+In addition to these metrics exposed by the `controller-runtime`, the Upjet
+based providers also expose metrics specific to the Upjet runtime. The Upjet
+runtime registers some custom metrics using the [available extension
+mechanism](https://book.kubebuilder.io/reference/metrics.html#publishing-additional-metrics),
+and are available from the default `/metrics` endpoint of the provider pod. Here
+are these custom metrics exposed from the Upjet runtime:
+- `upjet_terraform_cli_duration`: This is a histogram metric and reports
+  statistics, in seconds, on how long it takes a Terraform CLI invocation to
+  complete.
+- `upjet_terraform_active_cli_invocations`: This is a gauge metric and it's the
+  number of active (running) Terraform CLI invocations.
+- `upjet_terraform_running_processes`: This is a gauge metric and it's the
+  number of running Terraform CLI and Terraform provider processes.
+- `upjet_resource_ttr`: This is a histogram metric and it measures, in seconds,
+  the time-to-readiness for managed resources.
+
+Prometheus metrics can have [labels] associated with them to differentiate the
+characteristics of the measurements being made, such as differentiating between
+the CLI processes and the Terraform provider processes when counting the number
+of active Terraform processes running. Here is a list of labels associated with
+each of the above custom Upjet metrics:
+- Labels associated with the `upjet_terraform_cli_duration` metric:
+    - `subcommand`: The `terraform` subcommand that's run, e.g., `init`,
+      `apply`, `plan`, `destroy`, etc.
+    - `mode`: The execution mode of the Terraform CLI, one of `sync` (so that
+      the CLI was invoked synchronously as part of a reconcile loop), `async`
+      (so that the CLI was invoked asynchronously, the reconciler goroutine will
+      poll and collect results in future).
+- Labels associated with the `upjet_terraform_active_cli_invocations` metric:
+    - `subcommand`: The `terraform` subcommand that's run, e.g., `init`,
+      `apply`, `plan`, `destroy`, etc.
+    - `mode`: The execution mode of the Terraform CLI, one of `sync` (so that
+      the CLI was invoked synchronously as part of a reconcile loop), `async`
+      (so that the CLI was invoked asynchronously, the reconciler goroutine will
+      poll and collect results in future).
+- Labels associated with the `upjet_terraform_running_processes` metric:
+    - `type`: Either `cli` for Terraform CLI (the `terraform` process) processes
+      or `provider` for the Terraform provider processes. Please note that this
+      is a best effort metric that may not be able to precisely catch & report
+      all relevant processes. We may, in the future, improve this if needed by
+      for example watching the `fork` system calls. But currently, it may prove
+      to be useful to watch rouge Terraform provider processes.
+- Labels associated with the `upjet_resource_ttr` metric:
+    - `group`, `version`, `kind` labels record the [API group, version and
+      kind](https://kubernetes.io/docs/reference/using-api/api-concepts/) for
+      the managed resource, whose
+      [time-to-readiness](https://github.com/crossplane/terrajet/issues/55#issuecomment-929494212)
+      measurement is captured.
+
+## Examples
+You can [export](https://book.kubebuilder.io/reference/metrics.html) all these
+custom metrics and the `controller-runtime` metrics from the provider pod for
+Prometheus. Here are some examples showing the custom metrics in action from the
+Prometheus console:
+
+- `upjet_terraform_active_cli_invocations` gauge metric showing the sync & async
+  `terraform init/apply/plan/destroy` invocations: <img width="3000" alt="image"
+  src="https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/9376684/223296539-94e7d634-58b0-4d3f-942e-8b857eb92ef7.png">
+
+- `upjet_terraform_running_processes` gauge metric showing both `cli` and
+  `provider` labels: <img width="2999" alt="image"
+  src="https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/9376684/223297575-18c2232e-b5af-4cc1-916a-d61fe5dfb527.png">
+
+- `upjet_terraform_cli_duration` histogram metric, showing average Terraform CLI
+  running times for the last 5m: <img width="2993" alt="image"
+  src="https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/9376684/223299401-8f128b74-8d9c-4c82-86c5-26870385bee7.png">
+
+- The medians (0.5-quantiles) for these observations aggregated by the mode and
+Terraform subcommand being invoked: <img width="2999" alt="image"
+src="https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/9376684/223300766-c1adebb9-bd19-4a38-9941-116185d8d39f.png">
+
+- `upjet_resource_ttr` histogram metric, showing average resource TTR for the
+  last 10m: <img width="2999" alt="image"
+  src="https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/9376684/223309711-edef690e-2a59-419b-bb93-8f837496bec8.png">
+
+- The median (0.5-quantile) for these TTR observations: <img width="3002"
+alt="image"
+src="https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/9376684/223309727-d1a0f4e2-1ed2-414b-be67-478a0575ee49.png">
+
+These samples have been collected by provisioning 10 [upbound/provider-aws]
+`cognitoidp.UserPool` resources by running the provider with a poll interval of
+1m. In these examples, one can observe that the resources were polled
+(reconciled) twice after they acquired the `Ready=True` condition and after
+that, they were destroyed.
