-The "frequency" option determines how often you want metrics written to the log file. You may want to set this to a shorter value (such as "5 minutes") if you're diagnosing an issue with a shorter time span. Remember to restart Blocks to make it pick up the config file change.
+The "frequency" option determines how often you want metrics written to the log file. You may want to set this to a shorter value (such as "5 minutes") if you're diagnosing an issue with a shorter time span.
+In addition to the above, you also need to enable metrics in the configuration file under logging/loggers:
+<code>
+logging:
+  # The default level of all loggers. Can be OFF, ERROR, WARN, INFO, DEBUG, TRACE, or ALL.
+  level: WARN
+  loggers:   # Logger-specific levels, doing more logging in test mode
+    metrics: INFO   # To actually log metrics data
+</code>
+You may already have other items configurerd under logging/loggers, in which case you only have to add the "metrics: INFO" line there. See here for [[https://www.dropwizard.io/en/stable/manual/configuration.html#metrics|more on how to configure metrics]] through the underlying framework.
+Remember to restart Blocks to make it pick up the config file change.
