 ## Run Backstage
 
+The above configuration will only work in production once your start a Docker container from the image.
+
+To be able to test locally you can import the `./instrumentation.ts` file at the top (before all imports) of your backend `index.ts` file
+
+```ts
+import '../instrumentation.ts'
+// Other imports
+...
+```
+
 You can now start your Backstage instance as usual, using `yarn dev`.
 
 When the backend is started, you should see in your console traces and metrics emitted by OpenTelemetry.
 
 Of course in production you probably won't use the console exporters but instead send traces and metrics to an OpenTelemetry Collector or other exporter using [OTLP exporters](https://opentelemetry.io/docs/instrumentation/js/exporters/).
