+# Custom Metric
+
+This sample deminstrates two things: (1) how to make a custom metric, and (2) how to use an interceptor.
+The custom metric in this sample is an activity schedule-to-start-latency with a workflow type tag.
+
+Please see the top-level [README](../README.md) for prerequisites such as Python, uv, starting the local temporal development server, etc. 
+
+1. Run the worker with `uv run custom_metric/worker.py`
+2. Request execution of the workflow with `uv run custom_metric/starter.py`
+3. Go to `http://127.0.0.1:9090/metrics` in your browser
+
+You'll get something like the following:
