+# Prometheus Mixin
+
+_This is work in progress. We aim for it to become a good role model for alerts
+and dashboards eventually, but it is not quite there yet._
+
+The Prometheus Mixin is a set of configurable, reusable, and extensible alerts
+and dashboards for Prometheus.
+
+To use them, you need to have `jsonnet` (v0.13+) and `jb` installed. If you
+have a working Go development environment, it's easiest to run the following:
+```bash
+$ go get github.com/google/go-jsonnet/cmd/jsonnet
+$ go get github.com/jsonnet-bundler/jsonnet-bundler/cmd/jb
+```
+
+_Note: The make targets `lint` and `fmt` need the `jsonnetfmt` binary, which is
+currently not included in the Go implementation of `jsonnet`. For the time
+being, you have to install the [C++ version of
+jsonnetfmt](https://github.com/google/jsonnet) if you want to use `make lint`
+or `make fmt`._
+
+Next, install the dependencies by running the following command in this
+directory:
+```bash
+$ jb install
+```
+
+You can then build a `prometheus_alerts.yaml` with the alerts and a directory
+`dashboards_out` with the Grafana dashboard JSON files:
+```bash
+$ make prometheus_alerts.yaml
+$ make dashboards_out
+```
+
+For more advanced uses of mixins, see https://github.com/monitoring-mixins/docs.
