 The `jitsi.<your-domain>` subdomain may be necessary, because this playbook could install the [Jitsi video-conferencing platform](https://jitsi.org/) for you. Jitsi installation is disabled by default, because it may be heavy and is not a core required component. To learn how to install it, see our [Jitsi](configuring-playbook-jitsi.md) guide. If you do not wish to set up Jitsi, feel free to skip the `jitsi.<your-domain>` DNS record.
 
+The `stats.<your-domain>` subdomain may be necessary, because this playbook could install [Grafana](https://grafana.com/) and setup performance metrics for you. Grafana installation is disabled by default, it is not a core required component. To learn how to install it, see our [metrics and graphs guide](configuring-playbook-prometheus-grafana.md). If you do not wish to set up Grafana, feel free to skip the `stats.<your-domain>` DNS record. It is possible to install Prometheus without installing Grafana, this would also not require the `stats.<your-domain>` subdomain.
