 # OpenTelemetry
 
 This example shows how to configure OpenTelemetry on a client and server, and
-shows what type of telemetry data it can produce for certain RPCs.
+shows what type of telemetry data it can produce for certain RPCs,
+and demonstrates how to enable experimental gRPC metrics, which are disabled
+by default and must be explicitly configured on the client and/or server.
