Hello,

Would be nice if there was documentation how to setup either ffwd or local monitoring.

What do you mean by local monitoring?

Is ffwd the metrics forwarding agent from Spotify?

We are standardizing on the Open Metrics across many of the projects. I think we should document the port and path where these metrics are exposed. Integration with many of the various monitoring solutions seems out of scope. Given you know where they're available I believe the content for consuming them should reside within the realm of the solution you're pursuing.

This would be great as I have no idea where to get the metrics from.

In the https://github.com/thelastpickle/cassandra-medusa/blob/master/docs/Configuration.md there is monitoring section where I got the "local monitoring" from but I was unable to consume the metrics.

[monitoring] ;monitoring_provider = <Provider used for sending metrics. Currently either of "ffwd" or "local">
