 ## Usage
 
 Our [default helm chart](https://github.com/temporalio/helm-charts) installs Grafana and will provision the dashboards from this repo automatically. If you would like to try these dashboards on your own Grafana instance you can import them. Unfortunately Grafana does not allow importing by URL aside from those hosted on the Grafana website, so the JSON of the dashboard needs to be copy/pasted into your Grafana instance. To do this:

+# Temporal DataDog SDK Dashboards
+
+The [Dashboard](temporal_sdk_dashboard.json) here works with [this openmetrics configuration](openmetrics.h_conf.yaml).
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+1. [DataDog Agent](https://docs.datadoghq.com/getting_started/agent/), installed.
+2. Advanced `Percentile` configuration for Distribution metrics.
+   1. Which metrics? Basically, any metrics [here](https://docs.temporal.io/references/sdk-metrics) that are a `Histogram` and for which you want to report percentiles (p95/p99).
+
+### Put it all together
+1. Visit [here](https://docs.datadoghq.com/integrations/openmetrics/) for OpenMetrics configuration with the DataDog agent for details about configuring your DD Agent.
+2. Drop this [conf.yaml](openmetrics.h_conf.yaml) at your Agent `openmetrics.d` config path.
+3. Import the [Dashboard](temporal_sdk_dashboard.json)
+4. Be sure you enable the `Percentile` configuration for relevant metrics. 
+
+> **Example for configuring `temporal_request_latency`**:
+> * Visit https://app.datadoghq.com/metric/summary?metric=temporal_request_latency
+> * Set `Advanced > Percentiles > Configure > ON`
