+## Availability exporters
+
+In order to be able to evaluate the overall availability of the Konflux ecosystem, we
+need to be able to establish the availability of each of its components.
+
+By leveraging the existing [Konflux monitoring stack](https://gitlab.cee.redhat.com/konflux/docs/documentation/-/blob/main/o11y/monitoring/monitoring.md) based on Prometheus, we create Prometheus exporters that 
+generate metrics that are scraped by the User Workload Monitoring Prometheus instance 
+and remote-written to RHOBS.
+
+### Prometheus Exporters
+
+Prometheus exporters expose metrics from a system or an application in a format that can 
+be scraped and monitored by Prometheus. The exporter may be an integral part of the 
+component that it's monitoring (self-instrumenting), or it can generate metrics for 
+another system/component.
+
+### Availability Exporter Example
+The o11y team provides an example availability exporter that can be used as reference,
+especially in the case in which the exporter is external to the code it's monitoring.

+# dsexporter
+
+## Overview
+
+The `dsexporter` is a specialized Prometheus exporter designed to provide availability metrics for the components
+within the Konflux ecosystem. It generates a custom metric (`request_count`) related to the number of requests handled
+by an HTTP handler, enabling the evaluation of overall availability.
+
+## Purpose
+
+In the context of the Konflux ecosystem, the `dsexporter` serves as an [Availability Exporter](https://gitlab.cee.redhat.com/konflux/docs/documentation/-/blob/main/o11y/monitoring/availability_exporters.md), contributing to the evaluation of the availability of each component within the system. By exposing the `request_count` metric, it allows
+for monitoring and analyzing the workload and performance of the associated service.
+
+## Prometheus Exporters
+
+A [Prometheus exporter](https://prometheus.io/docs/instrumenting/exporters/#exporters-and-integrations) exposes metrics from a system or application [in a format that Prometheus can ingest and monitor](https://prometheus.io/docs/instrumenting/exposition_formats).
+The `dsexporter` follows the Prometheus exposition format, providing a web endpoint that outputs metrics in a well-known format.
