+# Prometheus
+
+The Prometheus receiver emits event count metrics that Prometheus can scrape. Prometheus must
+be configured to scrape the kubernetes-event-exporter metrics.
+
+Resource kinds and event reasons must be specified. Metrics will be emitted for only those
+resources and their associated events.
+
+```yaml

+      # Specify a prefix for all event count metrics

+      # Only events with the given reasons for each kind will be emitted
