The managed OPA instances are automatically configured to export Prometheus metrics.
See xref:operators:monitoring.adoc[] for more details.

You can read on the list of exported metrics in the https://www.openpolicyagent.org/docs/monitoring#prometheus[OPA monitoring documentation].

Especially worth mentioning are the https://www.openpolicyagent.org/docs/monitoring#status-metrics[Status metrics], which contain e.g. `opa_info`, `bundle_loaded_counter` and `bundle_failed_load_counter`.
You can use those to create a Dashboard to quickly see any bundle loading problems.
Additionally, you can use set up an alert based on this, so that you are proactively informed.
