+# TensorRT-LLM Prometheus Metrics
+
+This document describes how TensorRT-LLM Prometheus metrics are exposed in Dynamo, as well as where to find non-Prometheus metrics.
+
+## Overview
+
+When running TensorRT-LLM through Dynamo, TensorRT-LLM's Prometheus metrics are automatically passed through and exposed on Dynamo's `/metrics` endpoint (default port 8081). This allows you to access both TensorRT-LLM engine metrics (prefixed with `trtllm:`) and Dynamo runtime metrics (prefixed with `dynamo_*`) from a single worker backend endpoint.
+
+Additional performance metrics are available via non-Prometheus APIs in the RequestPerfMetrics section below.
+
+As of the date of this documentation, the included TensorRT-LLM version 1.1.0rc5 exposes **5 basic Prometheus metrics**. Note that the `trtllm:` prefix is added by Dynamo.
+
+Dynamo runtime metrics are documented in [docs/guides/metrics.md](../../guides/metrics.md).
+
+## Metric Reference
+
+TensorRT-LLM provides Prometheus metrics through the `MetricsCollector` class (see [tensorrt_llm/metrics/collector.py](https://github.com/NVIDIA/TensorRT-LLM/blob/main/tensorrt_llm/metrics/collector.py)), which includes:
+- Counter and Histogram metrics
+- Metric labels (e.g., `model_name`, `engine_type`, `finished_reason`) - note that TensorRT-LLM uses `model_name` instead of Dynamo's standard `model` label convention
+
+### Current Prometheus Metrics (TensorRT-LLM 1.1.0rc5)
+
+The following metrics are exposed via Dynamo's `/metrics` endpoint (with the `trtllm:` prefix added by Dynamo):
+
+- `trtllm:request_success_total` (Counter) — Count of successfully processed requests by finish reason
+  - Labels: `model_name`, `engine_type`, `finished_reason`
+- `trtllm:e2e_request_latency_seconds` (Histogram) — End-to-end request latency (seconds)
+  - Labels: `model_name`, `engine_type`
+- `trtllm:time_to_first_token_seconds` (Histogram) — Time to first token, TTFT (seconds)
+  - Labels: `model_name`, `engine_type`
+- `trtllm:time_per_output_token_seconds` (Histogram) — Time per output token, TPOT (seconds)
+  - Labels: `model_name`, `engine_type`
+- `trtllm:request_queue_time_seconds` (Histogram) — Time a request spends waiting in the queue (seconds)
+  - Labels: `model_name`, `engine_type`
+
+These metric names and availability are subject to change with TensorRT-LLM version updates.
+
+## Metric Categories
+
+TensorRT-LLM provides metrics in the following categories (all prefixed with `trtllm:`):
+- Request metrics (latency, throughput)
+- Performance metrics (TTFT, TPOT, queue time)
+
+**Note:** Metrics may change between TensorRT-LLM versions. Always inspect the `/metrics` endpoint for your version.
+
+## Enabling Metrics in Dynamo
+
+TensorRT-LLM Prometheus metrics are automatically exposed when running TensorRT-LLM through Dynamo with the `--publish-events-and-metrics` flag.
+
+### Required Configuration
+```bash
+python -m dynamo.trtllm --model <model_name> --publish-events-and-metrics
+```
+
+### Backend Requirement
+- `backend`: Must be set to `"pytorch"` for metrics collection (enforced in `components/src/dynamo/trtllm/main.py`)
+- TensorRT-LLM's `MetricsCollector` integration has only been tested/validated with the PyTorch backend
+
+## Inspecting Metrics
+
+To see the actual metrics available in your TensorRT-LLM version:
+
+### 1. Launch TensorRT-LLM with Metrics Enabled
+
+```bash
+# Set environment variables
+export DYN_SYSTEM_ENABLED=true
+export DYN_SYSTEM_PORT=8081
+
+# Start TensorRT-LLM worker with metrics enabled
+python -m dynamo.trtllm --model <model_name> --publish-events-and-metrics
+
+# Wait for engine to initialize
+```
+
+Metrics will be available at: `http://localhost:8081/metrics`
+
+### 2. Fetch Metrics via curl
+
+```bash
+curl http://localhost:8081/metrics | grep "^trtllm:"
+```
+
+### 3. Example Output
+
+**Note:** The specific metrics shown below are examples and may vary depending on your TensorRT-LLM version. Always inspect your actual `/metrics` endpoint for the current list.
+
+```

+trtllm:request_queue_time_seconds_sum{model_name="Qwen/Qwen3-0.6B",engine_type="trtllm"} 32.1
+```
+
+## Implementation Details
+
+- **Prometheus Integration**: Uses the `MetricsCollector` class from `tensorrt_llm.metrics` (see [collector.py](https://github.com/NVIDIA/TensorRT-LLM/blob/main/tensorrt_llm/metrics/collector.py))
+- **Dynamo Integration**: Uses `register_engine_metrics_callback()` function with `add_prefix="trtllm:"`
+- **Engine Configuration**: `return_perf_metrics` set to `True` when `--publish-events-and-metrics` is enabled
+- **Initialization**: Metrics appear after TensorRT-LLM engine initialization completes
+- **Metadata**: `MetricsCollector` initialized with model metadata (model name, engine type)
+
+## TensorRT-LLM Specific: Non-Prometheus Performance Metrics
+
+TensorRT-LLM provides extensive performance data beyond the basic Prometheus metrics. These are **not exposed to Prometheus**.
+
+### Available via Code References:
+- **RequestPerfMetrics Structure**: [tensorrt_llm/executor/result.py](https://github.com/NVIDIA/TensorRT-LLM/blob/main/tensorrt_llm/executor/result.py) - KV cache, timing, speculative decoding metrics
+- **Engine Statistics**: `engine.llm.get_stats_async()` - System-wide aggregate statistics
+- **KV Cache Events**: `engine.llm.get_kv_cache_events_async()` - Real-time cache operations
+
+### Example RequestPerfMetrics JSON Structure:
+```json
+{
+  "timing_metrics": {
+    "arrival_time": 1234567890.123,
+    "first_scheduled_time": 1234567890.135,
+    "first_token_time": 1234567890.150,
+    "last_token_time": 1234567890.300,
+    "kv_cache_size": 2048576,
+    "kv_cache_transfer_start": 1234567890.140,
+    "kv_cache_transfer_end": 1234567890.145
+  },
+  "kv_cache_metrics": {
+    "num_total_allocated_blocks": 100,
+    "num_new_allocated_blocks": 10,
+    "num_reused_blocks": 90,
+    "num_missed_blocks": 5
+  },
+  "speculative_decoding": {
+    "acceptance_rate": 0.85,
+    "total_accepted_draft_tokens": 42,
+    "total_draft_tokens": 50
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**Note**: These structures are valid as of the date of this documentation but are subject to change with TensorRT-LLM version updates.
