 To enable more verbose logging for the AWS Common Runtime that Mountpoint uses to communicate with S3, use the `--debug-crt` command-line argument. These logs are very verbose, and should be combined with the `-l, --log-directory` and `--debug` arguments described above.
 
 For finer-grained control over log verbosity, Mountpoint uses the `MOUNTPOINT_LOG` environment variable, which overrides the verbosity options above. The `MOUNTPOINT_LOG` environment variable uses the [`tracing-subscriber` directive syntax](https://docs.rs/tracing-subscriber/0.3.17/tracing_subscriber/filter/struct.EnvFilter.html), and can be used to control log verbosity on a per-subject basis. For example, setting `MOUNTPOINT_LOG` to `trace` enables all trace-level logs, while `trace,awscrt=warn` enables trace-level logs for all log subjects except `awscrt`, which has only warning-level logging enabled.

+## Metrics
+
+Mountpoint optionally collects metrics measuring various values across different components.
+For example, Mountpoint records the durations of FUSE operations and the number of S3 responses grouped by HTTP status code.
+
+To opt-in, use the `--log-metrics` command-line argument.
+Metrics will be collected by Mountpoint and flushed to the logs every five seconds.
+See below an example of what the emitted metrics may look like in the logs.

+We recommend using the metrics only for debugging at this time.
+Metrics are currently output in an unstructured format and are subject to change in future releases.
