+### Install with Monitoring
+
+To enable metrics collection and monitoring for the EndpointPicker, you can configure Prometheus ServiceMonitor creation:
+
+```yaml
+inferenceExtension:
+  monitoring:
+    interval: "10s"
+    prometheus:
+      enabled: true
+    secret:
+      name: inference-gateway-sa-metrics-reader-secret
+```
+
+**Note:** Prometheus monitoring requires the Prometheus Operator and ServiceMonitor CRD to be installed in the cluster.
+
+For GKE environments, monitoring is automatically configured when `provider.name` is set to `gke`.
+
+Then apply it with:
+
+```txt
+helm install vllm-llama3-8b-instruct ./config/charts/inferencepool -f values.yaml
+```
