# Configure Supporting Software

With all supporting software installed, we can begin configuring the software. The instructions in this section will install configurations that are not specific to the clients you are monitoring nor the systems on which they run.

1. [Configure json\_exporter](/dashboard-installation/configure-supporting-software/configure-json_exporter.md) - Add a configuration file that defines how to call various APIs and translate the responses into Prometheus metrics.
2. [Configure Prometheus Rules](/dashboard-installation/configure-supporting-software/configure-prometheus-rules.md) - Add a configuration file that defines queries for Prometheus to pre-process for efficiency.
3. [Configure Ethereum Metrics Exporter](/dashboard-installation/configure-supporting-software/configure-ethereum-metrics-exporter.md) - Add a configuration file that defines the consensus and execution clients to which Ethereum Metrics Exporter will connect.
