+## Introduction
+
+This guide provides the steps for deploying a monitoring stack using the `prometheus-operator` Lokomotive component and explains how to access Prometheus, Alertmanager and Grafana.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+* A Lokomotive cluster deployed on a supported provider and accessible via `kubectl`.
+
+<!---
+TODO: Once we have tutorials on how to deploy and configure Rook or OpenEBS, point the following to those tutorials.
+-->
+
+* A storage provider component (`rook` and `rook-ceph`, or `openebs-operator` and `openebs-storage-class`) deployed with a default storage class that can provision volumes for the [PVCs](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/storage/persistent-volumes/#persistentvolumeclaims) created by Alertmanager and Prometheus.
+
+<!---
+TODO: Once we have a tutorial on how to deploy and configure Contour and cert-manager, point the following to that tutorial.
+-->
+> **NOTE**: If you wish to [expose Grafana to the public internet](#using-ingress), the following Lokomotive components should be installed:
+> * [`metallb`](./ingress-with-contour-metallb.md) (only on Packet and bare-metal)
+> * [`contour`](../configuration-reference/components/contour.md)
+> * [`cert-manager`](../configuration-reference/components/cert-manager.md)
+
+
+## Deploy Prometheus Operator
+
+### Configure Prometheus Operator
+
+Create a file named `monitoring.lokocfg` with the following contents:
+
+```tf
+component "prometheus-operator" {}
+```
+
+For information about all the available configuration options for the `prometheus-operator` component, visit the component's [configuration reference](../configuration-reference/components/prometheus-operator.md).
+
+### Install Prometheus Operator
+
+Execute the following command to deploy the `prometheus-operator` component:
+
+```bash
+lokoctl component apply prometheus-operator
+```
+
+Verify the pods in the `monitoring` namespace are in the `Running` state (this may take a few minutes):
+
+```bash
+kubectl -n monitoring get pods
+```
+
+## Accessing Prometheus, Alertmanager and Grafana
+
+### Accessing Prometheus
+
+Execute the following command to forward port `9090` locally to the Prometheus pod:
+
+```bash
+kubectl -n monitoring port-forward svc/prometheus-operator-prometheus 9090
+```
+
+Open the following URL: [http://localhost:9090](http://localhost:9090).
+
+### Accessing Alertmanager
+
+Execute the following command to forward port `9093` locally to the Alertmanager pod:
+
+```bash
+kubectl -n monitoring port-forward svc/prometheus-operator-alertmanager 9093
+```
+
+Open the following URL: [http://localhost:9093](http://localhost:9093).
+
+### Accessing Grafana
+
+#### Using port forward
+
+Execute the following command to forward port `8080` locally to the Grafana dashboard pod on port `80`:
+
+```bash
+kubectl -n monitoring port-forward svc/prometheus-operator-grafana 8080:80
+```
+
+Obtain the password for the `admin` Grafana user by running the following command:
+
+```bash
+kubectl -n monitoring get secret prometheus-operator-grafana -o jsonpath='{.data.admin-password}' | base64 -d && echo
+```
+
+Open the following URL: [http://localhost:8080](http://localhost:8080). Enter the username `admin` and password obtained from the previous step.
+
+#### Using Ingress
+
+To expose Grafana to the internet using Ingress, provide the host field. The configuration for Grafana in the `prometheus-operator` component should look like the following:
+
+```tf
+component "prometheus-operator" {
+  grafana {
+    ingress {
+      host = "grafana.<cluster name>.<DNS zone>"
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+> **NOTE**: On Packet, you either need to create a DNS entry for `grafana.<cluster name>.<DNS zone>` and point it to the Packet external IP for the contour service (see the [Packet ingress guide for more details](./ingress-with-contour-metallb.md)) or use the [External DNS component](../configuration-reference/components/external-dns.md).
+
+Obtain the password for the `admin` Grafana user by running the following command:
+
+```bash
+kubectl -n monitoring get secret prometheus-operator-grafana -o jsonpath='{.data.admin-password}' | base64 -d && echo
+```
+
+Open the following URL: `https://grafana.<cluster name>.<DNS zone>`. Enter the username `admin` and the password obtained from the previous step.
