+# Export metrics to OpenTSDB
+
+You can use the OpenTSDB connector for the [exporting engine](/exporting/README.md) to archive your agent's metrics to OpenTSDB
+databases for long-term storage, further analysis, or correlation with data from other sources.
+
+## Configuration
+
+To enable data exporting to an OpenTSDB database, run `./edit-config exporting.conf` in the Netdata configuration
+directory and set the following options:
+
+```conf
+[opentsdb:my_opentsdb_instance]
+    enabled = yes
+    destination = localhost:4242
+```
+
+Add `:http` or `:https` modifiers to the connector type if you need to use other than a plaintext protocol. For example: `opentsdb:http:my_opentsdb_instance`,
+`opentsdb:https:my_opentsdb_instance`.
+
+The OpenTSDB connector is further configurable using additional settings. See the [exporting reference
+doc](/exporting/README.md#options) for details.
