+# Apache NiFi - MiNiFi - C++ Metrics Readme.
+
+
+This readme defines the metrics published by Apache NiFi. All options defined 
are located in minifi.properties.

+## Description
+
+Apache NiFi MiNiFi C++ can communicate metrics about the agent's status, that 
can be a system level or component level metric.
+These metrics are exposed through the agent implemented metric publishers that 
can be configured in the minifi.properties.
+Aside from the publisher exposed metrics, metrics are also sent through C2 
protocol of which there is more information in the
+[C2 documentation](C2.md#metrics).
+
+## Configuration
+
+To configure the a metrics publisher first we have to set which publisher 
class should be used:
+
+       # in minifi.properties
+
+       nifi.metrics.publisher.class=PrometheusMetricsPublisher
+
+Currently PrometheusMetricsPublisher is the only available publisher in MiNiFi 
C++ which publishes metrics to a Prometheus server.
+To use the publisher a port should also be configured where the metrics will 
be available to be scraped through:
+
+       # in minifi.properties
+
+       nifi.metrics.publisher.port=9936

Review Comment:
   What I meant that if we stay with supporting one publisher at a time for 
now, then the port option can have multiple ports separated by commas, or if 
not needed at all it can be disregarded while parsing the config.
   
   I see what you mean now, that the port may not always be a global option for 
all publishers so it should belong under `PrometheusMetricsPublisher.port` 
option, it makes more sense to change this with this in mind.
