-For Prometheus Operator, enable ServiceMonitor via Helm values (`serviceMonitor.enabled=true`).
+### Prometheus Operator Integration
+
+For clusters with Prometheus Operator, enable the ServiceMonitor to automatically discover and scrape metrics:
+
+```bash
+helm install hyperfleet-api ./charts/ \
+  --namespace hyperfleet-system \
+  --set serviceMonitor.enabled=true
+```
+
+If your Prometheus requires specific labels for service discovery, add them:
+
+```bash
+helm install hyperfleet-api ./charts/ \
+  --namespace hyperfleet-system \
+  --set serviceMonitor.enabled=true \
+  --set serviceMonitor.labels.release=prometheus
+```
+
+To create the ServiceMonitor in a different namespace (e.g., `monitoring`):
+
+```bash
+helm install hyperfleet-api ./charts/ \
+  --namespace hyperfleet-system \
+  --set serviceMonitor.enabled=true \
+  --set serviceMonitor.namespace=monitoring
+```
