 Once you've configured a job, try inserting some records into the source database. Then confirm that they have arrived in Redis.

+### Monitoring the System
+
+Redis Connect exports OpenTelemetry metrics via a Prometheus endpoint. A simple Prometheus configuration would look like this:
+
+```cmd  
+- job_name: "connect"
+  scrape_interval: 5s
+  scrape_timeout: 5s
+  metrics_path: /
+  scheme: http
+  static_configs:
+  - targets: ["localhost:19090"]
+```
+
+Redis Connect provides a dashboard for monitoring the system. After installing Grafana and connecting it to Prometheus (i.e., adding a data source), you can install the Redis Connect dashboard by navigating to the Grafana dashboard page and clicking New -> Import.
+
+The Redis Connect dashboard reports the following metrics:
+
+| metric                                     | label         | type      | description                           |
+|--------------------------------------------|---------------|-----------|---------------------------------------|
+| event_job_starts_total                     | job starts    | count     | number of times job has been started  |
+| event_job_stops_total                      | job stops     | count     | number of times job has been stopped  |
+| event_input_buffer_histogram               | buffer        | histogram | number of events received             |
