 ## Overview
 The DSS Metrics Agent runs on a per node level. It can collect data from MINIO, target, and other sources. The data is then processed
 into metrics that can be stored into a Promotheus database or exposed at an endpoint. The metrics are associated with tags such as 
-cluster_id, susbsystem_id, target_id, etc.. in order to be able to correlate the metric with a given point/layer in the system. It 
-is assumed that all captured metrics will be time series data.

+## Dependencies
+- install required python packages listed in requirements.txt
+- set environment variable MINIO_REPORT_METRICS=1, will also need to add to MINIO startup script before running MINIO
 
 ## Execution
 Until the agent is deployed along with the deploy DSS playbook, it will need to be manually run. Currently, the agent supports
