+
+  feature: the router keeps its metrics in PostgreSQL, serves them for an OpenTelemetry Collector and pushes them over OTLP.
+
+  * vpn-router-metrics takes a sample every minute: CPU, memory, free
+    space of /, bytes per second on the external and the internal
+    interface, the load averages, and the VPN clients of each enabled
+    system.
+  * The samples are kept in metrics_system, metrics_network and
+    metrics_vpn, and summarized hourly, daily, monthly and yearly in
+    their _hourly, _daily, _monthly and _yearly tables; once a day the
+    rows older than metrics.keep_details, keep_hourly, keep_daily,
+    keep_monthly and keep_yearly are deleted.
+  * /metrics serves the last sample in the Prometheus format on the
+    interfaces metrics.listen names (internal by default) at
+    metrics.port, and over HTTPS by Caddy at metrics.https_port, with
+    HTTP Basic authentication of the service account
+    metrics.service_account names (metrics by default).
+  * metrics.otlp_endpoint pushes every sample as OTLP/HTTP JSON, with
+    metrics.otlp_username and metrics.otlp_password.
+  * /metrics/history of the web service answers the hour, day, month
+    and year views for the Router Manager.
+  * vpn-router-setup adds and keeps that service account, which cannot
+    sign in to /auth, with a random password in
+    /etc/vpn-router/metrics.secret, set anew when the file is missing.
+  * Depends on python3-psutil and python3-prometheus-client.
