 # GitHub runner operators
 
-![WIP](https://img.shields.io/badge/status-WIP-yellow)
+This repository contains applications, Juju charms, Grafana dashboards and actions related to operating and using
+self-hosted GitHub Actions runners.
 
-A monorepo containing charms to operate Self-Hosted GitHub Action Runners.

-Dashboards in this repo are delivered to Grafana through
-[`cos-configuration-k8s`](https://charmhub.io/cos-configuration-k8s), which syncs
-JSON files from this Git repository and provisions them via the `grafana-dashboard`
-relation. Provisioned dashboards are **immutable** in Grafana regardless of user
-role — they cannot be edited or deleted through the UI.

-| Directory | Purpose | `grafana_dashboards_path` config value |
-|---|---|---|
-| `charms/<charm>/cos_custom/grafana_dashboards/` | Dashboards for a specific charm's workload metrics | `charms/<charm>/cos_custom/grafana_dashboards` |
-| `runner_grafana_dashboards/` | Dashboards for runner VM host-level metrics (CPU, memory, disk, network) | `runner_grafana_dashboards` |
+## Further information
 
-Dashboard JSON files should use `__inputs` to declare the datasource (type `prometheus`).
-Setting `"editable": false` is recommended for clarity, but is not strictly required:
-dashboards delivered through `cos-configuration-k8s` are filesystem-provisioned and
-therefore read-only in Grafana regardless of the JSON flag. Metric names follow the
-[OpenTelemetry hostmetrics receiver](https://opentelemetry.io/docs/collector/components/#receiver)
-Prometheus naming convention (e.g. `system_cpu_time_seconds_total`).
+Further information can be found in the `docs/` directory.
