+There's a function to use a lookup-file to add release note URL's to the notification message.  
+Copy the notify_templates/`urls.list` file to the script directory, it will be used automatically if it's there.   Modify it as necessary, the names of interest in the left column needs to match your container names.

+```

+The `urls.list` file is just an example and I'd gladly see that people contribute back when they add their preferred URLs to their lists.

+## :chart_with_upwards_trend: Prometheus and node_exporter
+Dockcheck can be used together with [Prometheus](https://github.com/prometheus/prometheus) and [node_exporter](https://github.com/prometheus/node_exporter) to export metrics via the file collector, scheduled with cron or likely.
+This is done with the `-c` option, like this:
+```
+dockcheck.sh -c /path/to/exporter/directory
+```
+
+See the [README.md](./addons/prometheus/README.md) for more detailed information on how to set it up!

+## [Prometheus](https://github.com/prometheus/prometheus) and [node_exporter](https://github.com/prometheus/node_exporter)
+Dockcheck is capable to export metrics to prometheus via the text file collector provided by the node_exporter.
+In order to do so the -c flag has to be specified followed by the file path that is configured in the text file collector of the node_exporter.
+A simple cron job can be configured to export these metrics on a regular interval as shown in the sample below:
+
+```
+0 1 * * * /root/dockcheck.sh -n -c /var/lib/node_exporter/textfile_collector
+```
+
+The following metrics are exported to prometheus
+
+```
+# HELP dockcheck_images_analyzed Docker images that have been analyzed
+# TYPE dockcheck_images_analyzed gauge
+dockcheck_images_analyzed 22
+# HELP dockcheck_images_outdated Docker images that are outdated
+# TYPE dockcheck_images_outdated gauge
+dockcheck_images_outdated 7
+# HELP dockcheck_images_latest Docker images that are outdated
+# TYPE dockcheck_images_latest gauge
+dockcheck_images_latest 14
+# HELP dockcheck_images_error Docker images with analysis errors
+# TYPE dockcheck_images_error gauge
+dockcheck_images_error 1
+# HELP dockcheck_images_analyze_timestamp_seconds Last dockercheck run time
+# TYPE dockcheck_images_analyze_timestamp_seconds gauge
+dockcheck_images_analyze_timestamp_seconds 1737924029
+```
+
+Once those metrics are exported they can be used to define alarms as shown below
+
+```
