 ### Metrics
 
 Minitor supports exporting metrics for [Prometheus](https://prometheus.io/). Prometheus is an open source tool for reading and querying metrics from different sources. Combined with another tool, [Grafana](https://grafana.com/), it allows building of charts and dashboards. You could also opt to just use Minitor to log check results, and instead do your alerting with Grafana.

-For the time being, legacy configs for the Python version of Minitor should be compatible if you apply the `-py-compat` flag when running Minitor. Eventually, this flag will go away when later breaking changes are introduced.
+The `-py-compat` flag has been removed. Any existing Python oriented configuration needs to be migrated to the new templates.
