 The autoscaler publishes the following metrics to Cloud Monitoring which can be used to monitor the behavior of the autoscaler, and to configure alerts.
 
-
 ### Poller
 
-* Message processing counters:
-    * `spanner-autoscaler/poller/requests-success` - the number of polling request messages recieved and processed successfully.
-    * `spanner-autoscaler/poller/requests-success` - the number of polling request messages which failed processing.
+*   Message processing counters:
+    *   `spanner-autoscaler/poller/requests-success` - the number of polling request messages recieved and processed successfully.
+    *   `spanner-autoscaler/poller/requests-success` - the number of polling request messages which failed processing.
 
-* Spanner Instance polling counters:
-   * `spanner-autoscaler/poller/polling-success` - the number of successful polls of the Spanner instance metrics.
-   * `spanner-autoscaler/poller/polling-failed` - the number of failed polls of the Spanner instance metrics.
-   * Both of these metrics have `projectid` and `instanceid` to identify the Spanner instance.

 ### Scaler
 
-* Message processing counters:
-    * `spanner-autoscaler/scaler/requests-success` - the number of scaling request messages recieved and processed successfully.
-    * `spanner-autoscaler/scaler/requests-success` - the number of scaling request messages which failed processing.
-* Spanner Instance scaling counters:
-    * `spanner-autoscaler/scaler/scaling-success` - the number of succesful rescales of the Spanner instance.
-    * `spanner-autoscaler/scaler/scaling-denied` - the number of Spanner instance rescale attempts that failed
-    * `spanner-autoscaler/scaler/scaling-failed` - the number of Spanner instance rescale attempts that were denied by autoscaler configuration or policy.
-
-    * These threww metrics have the following attributes:
-      * `projectid` - Spanner Project ID
-      * `instanceid` - Spanner Instance ID
-      * `method` - the scaling method used
-      * `direction` - which can be `SCALE_UP`, `SCALE_DOWN` or `SCALE_SAME` (when the calculated rescale size is equal to the current size)
-    * In addition, the `scaling-denied` counter has a `reason` attribute containing the reason why the scaling was not performed, which can be:
-      * `SAME_SIZE` - when the calculated rescale size is equal to the current instance size.
-      * `MAX_SIZE` - when the instance has already been scaled up to the maximum configured size.
-      * `WITHIN_COOLDOWN` - when the instance has been recently rescaled, and the autoscaler is waiting for the cooldown period to end.
