Description

First of all thanks for publishing this, it looks useful and I'd like to give it a try soon.

Is there currently any way of external monitoring, e.g. using Prometheus? It'd be useful for making sure that securitybot runs fine from an ops perspective, but also potentially for further processing of alerts, and metrics derived from alerts.

Research direction
Check the repository for existing monitoring or metrics (e.g., in main bot files like securitybot.py). Implement a Prometheus metrics endpoint using the prometheus client library, exposing metrics such as alert count and processing latency. Add configuration options for enabling metrics and document the setup. Review any comments on the issue for additional context.
