+
+# Exporting reference
+
+Welcome to the exporting engine reference guide. This guide contains comprehensive information about enabling,
+configuring, and monitoring Netdata's exporting engine, which allows you to send metrics to external time-series
+databases.
+
+For a quick introduction to the exporting engine's features, read our doc on [exporting metrics to time-series
+databases](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/export/external-databases.md), or jump in to [enabling a connector](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/export/enable-connector.md).
+
+The exporting engine has a modular structure and supports metric exporting via multiple exporting connector instances at
+the same time. You can have different update intervals and filters configured for every exporting connector instance.
+
+When you enable the exporting engine and a connector, the Netdata Agent exports metrics _beginning from the time you
+restart its process_, not the entire [database of long-term metrics](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/store/change-metrics-storage.md).
+
+Since Netdata collects thousands of metrics per server per second, which would easily congest any database server when
+several Netdata servers are sending data to it, Netdata allows sending metrics at a lower frequency, by resampling them.
+
+So, although Netdata collects metrics every second, it can send to the external database servers averages or sums every
+X seconds (though, it can send them per second if you need it to).
+
+## Features
+
+### Integration
+
+The exporting engine uses a number of connectors to send Netdata metrics to external time-series databases. See our
+[list of supported databases](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/export/external-databases.md#supported-databases) for information on which
+connector to enable and configure for your database of choice.
+
+- [**AWS Kinesis Data Streams**](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/exporting/aws_kinesis/README.md): Metrics are sent to the service in `JSON`
+ format.
+- [**Google Cloud Pub/Sub Service**](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/exporting/pubsub/README.md): Metrics are sent to the service in `JSON`
+ format.
+- [**Graphite**](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/exporting/graphite/README.md): A plaintext interface. Metrics are sent to the database server as
+ `prefix.hostname.chart.dimension`. `prefix` is configured below, `hostname` is the hostname of the machine (can
+ also be configured). Learn more in our guide to [export and visualize Netdata metrics in
+ Graphite](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/exporting/graphite/README.md).
+- [**JSON** document databases](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/exporting/json/README.md)
+- [**OpenTSDB**](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/exporting/opentsdb/README.md): Use a plaintext or HTTP interfaces. Metrics are sent to
+ OpenTSDB as `prefix.chart.dimension` with tag `host=hostname`.
+- [**MongoDB**](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/exporting/mongodb/README.md): Metrics are sent to the database in `JSON` format.
+- [**Prometheus**](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/exporting/prometheus/README.md): Use an existing Prometheus installation to scrape metrics
+ from node using the Netdata API.
+- [**Prometheus remote write**](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/exporting/prometheus/remote_write/README.md). A binary snappy-compressed protocol
+ buffer encoding over HTTP. Supports many [storage
+ providers](https://prometheus.io/docs/operating/integrations/#remote-endpoints-and-storage).
+- [**TimescaleDB**](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/exporting/TIMESCALE.md): Use a community-built connector that takes JSON streams from a
+ Netdata client and writes them to a TimescaleDB table.
+
+### Chart filtering
+
+Netdata can filter metrics, to send only a subset of the collected metrics. You can use the
+configuration file
+
+```txt
+[prometheus:exporter]
+ send charts matching = system.*
+```
+
+or the URL parameter `filter` in the `allmetrics` API call.
+
+```txt
+http://localhost:19999/api/v1/allmetrics?format=shell&filter=system.*
+```
+
+### Operation modes
+
+Netdata supports three modes of operation for all exporting connectors:
+
+- `as-collected` sends to external databases the metrics as they are collected, in the units they are collected.
+ So, counters are sent as counters and gauges are sent as gauges, much like all data collectors do. For example,
+ to calculate CPU utilization in this format, you need to know how to convert kernel ticks to percentage.
+
+- `average` sends to external databases normalized metrics from the Netdata database. In this mode, all metrics
+ are sent as gauges, in the units Netdata uses. This abstracts data collection and simplifies visualization, but
+ you will not be able to copy and paste queries from other sources to convert units. For example, CPU utilization
+ percentage is calculated by Netdata, so Netdata will convert ticks to percentage and send the average percentage
+ to the external database.
+
+- `sum` or `volume`: the sum of the interpolated values shown on the Netdata graphs is sent to the external
+ database. So, if Netdata is configured to send data to the database every 10 seconds, the sum of the 10 values
+ shown on the Netdata charts will be used.
+
+Time-series databases suggest to collect the raw values (`as-collected`). If you plan to invest on building your
+monitoring around a time-series database and you already know (or you will invest in learning) how to convert units
+and normalize the metrics in Grafana or other visualization tools, we suggest to use `as-collected`.
+
+If, on the other hand, you just need long term archiving of Netdata metrics and you plan to mainly work with
+Netdata, we suggest to use `average`. It decouples visualization from data collection, so it will generally be a lot
+simpler. Furthermore, if you use `average`, the charts shown in the external service will match exactly what you
+see in Netdata, which is not necessarily true for the other modes of operation.
+
+### Independent operation
+
+This code is smart enough, not to slow down Netdata, independently of the speed of the external database server.
+
+> ❗ You should keep in mind though that many exporting connector instances can consume a lot of CPU resources if they
+> run their batches at the same time. You can set different update intervals for every exporting connector instance,
+> but even in that case they can occasionally synchronize their batches for a moment.
+
+## Configuration
+
+Here are the configuration blocks for every supported connector. Your current `exporting.conf` file may look a little
+different.
+
+You can configure each connector individually using the available [options](#options). The
+`[graphite:my_graphite_instance]` block contains examples of some of these additional options in action.
+
+```conf
+[exporting:global]
+ enabled = yes
+ send configured labels = no
+ send automatic labels = no
+ update every = 10
+
+[prometheus:exporter]
+ send names instead of ids = yes
+ send configured labels = yes
+ send automatic labels = no
+ send charts matching = *
+ send hosts matching = localhost *
+ prefix = netdata
+
+[graphite:my_graphite_instance]
+ enabled = yes
+ destination = localhost:2003
+ data source = average
+ prefix = Netdata
+ hostname = my-name
+ update every = 10
+ buffer on failures = 10
+ timeout ms = 20000
+ send charts matching = *
+ send hosts matching = localhost *
+ send names instead of ids = yes
+ send configured labels = yes
+ send automatic labels = yes
+
+[prometheus_remote_write:my_prometheus_remote_write_instance]
+ enabled = yes
+ destination = localhost
+ remote write URL path = /receive
+
+[kinesis:my_kinesis_instance]
+ enabled = yes
+ destination = us-east-1
+ stream name = netdata
+ aws_access_key_id = my_access_key_id
+ aws_secret_access_key = my_aws_secret_access_key
+
+[pubsub:my_pubsub_instance]
+ enabled = yes
+ destination = pubsub.googleapis.com
+ credentials file = /etc/netdata/pubsub_credentials.json
+ project id = my_project
+ topic id = my_topic
+
+[mongodb:my_mongodb_instance]
+ enabled = yes
+ destination = localhost
+ database = my_database
+ collection = my_collection
+
+[json:my_json_instance]
+ enabled = yes
+ destination = localhost:5448
+
+[opentsdb:my_opentsdb_plaintext_instance]
+ enabled = yes
+ destination = localhost:4242
+
+[opentsdb:http:my_opentsdb_http_instance]
+ enabled = yes
+ destination = localhost:4242
+ username = my_username
+ password = my_password
+
+[opentsdb:https:my_opentsdb_https_instance]
+ enabled = yes
+ destination = localhost:8082
+```
+
+### Sections
+
+- `[exporting:global]` is a section where you can set your defaults for all exporting connectors
+- `[prometheus:exporter]` defines settings for Prometheus exporter API queries (e.g.:
+ `http://NODE:19999/api/v1/allmetrics?format=prometheus&help=yes&source=as-collected`).
+- `[<type>:<name>]` keeps settings for a particular exporting connector instance, where:
+ - `type` selects the exporting connector type: graphite | opentsdb:telnet | opentsdb:http |
+ prometheus_remote_write | json | kinesis | pubsub | mongodb. For graphite, opentsdb,
+ json, and prometheus_remote_write connectors you can also use `:http` or `:https` modifiers
+ (e.g.: `opentsdb:https`).
+ - `name` can be arbitrary instance name you chose.
+
+### Options
+
+Configure individual connectors and override any global settings with the following options.
+
+- `enabled = yes | no`, enables or disables an exporting connector instance
+
+- `destination = host1 host2 host3 ...`, accepts **a space separated list** of hostnames, IPs (IPv4 and IPv6) and
+ ports to connect to. Netdata will use the **first available** to send the metrics.
+
+ The format of each item in this list, is: `[PROTOCOL:]IP[:PORT]`.
+
+ `PROTOCOL` can be `udp` or `tcp`. `tcp` is the default and only supported by the current exporting engine.
+
+ `IP` can be `XX.XX.XX.XX` (IPv4), or `[XX:XX...XX:XX]` (IPv6). For IPv6 you can to enclose the IP in `[]` to
+ separate it from the port.
+
+ `PORT` can be a number of a service name. If omitted, the default port for the exporting connector will be used
+ (graphite = 2003, opentsdb = 4242).
+
+ Example IPv4:
+
+```conf
+ destination = 10.11.14.2:4242 10.11.14.3:4242 10.11.14.4:4242
+```
+
+ Example IPv6 and IPv4 together:
+
+```conf
+ destination = [ffff:...:0001]:2003 10.11.12.1:2003
+```
+
+ When multiple servers are defined, Netdata will try the next one when the previous one fails.
+
+ Netdata also ships `nc-exporting.sh`, a script that can be used as a fallback exporting connector to save the
+ metrics to disk and push them to the time-series database when it becomes available again. It can also be used to
+ monitor / trace / debug the metrics Netdata generates.
+
+ For the Kinesis exporting connector `destination` should be set to an AWS region (for example, `us-east-1`).
+
+ For the MongoDB exporting connector `destination` should be set to a
+ [MongoDB URI](https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/reference/connection-string/).
+
+ For the Pub/Sub exporting connector `destination` can be set to a specific service endpoint.
+
+- `data source = as collected`, or `data source = average`, or `data source = sum`, selects the kind of data that will
+ be sent to the external database.
+
+- `hostname = my-name`, is the hostname to be used for sending data to the external database server. By default this
+ is `[global].hostname`.
+
+- `prefix = Netdata`, is the prefix to add to all metrics.
+
+- `update every = 10`, is the number of seconds between sending data to the external database. Netdata will add some
+ randomness to this number, to prevent stressing the external server when many Netdata servers send data to the same
+ database. This randomness does not affect the quality of the data, only the time they are sent.
+
+- `buffer on failures = 10`, is the number of iterations (each iteration is `update every` seconds) to buffer data,
+ when the external database server is not available. If the server fails to receive the data after that many
+ failures, data loss on the connector instance is expected (Netdata will also log it).
+
+- `timeout ms = 20000`, is the timeout in milliseconds to wait for the external database server to process the data.
+ By default this is `2 * update_every * 1000`.
+
+- `send hosts matching = localhost *` includes one or more space separated patterns, using `*` as wildcard (any number
+ of times within each pattern). The patterns are checked against the hostname (the localhost is always checked as
+ `localhost`), allowing us to filter which hosts will be sent to the external database when this Netdata is a central
+ Netdata aggregating multiple hosts. A pattern starting with `!` gives a negative match. So to match all hosts named
+ `*db*` except hosts containing `*child*`, use `!*child* *db*` (so, the order is important: the first
+ pattern matching the hostname will be used - positive or negative).
+
+- `send charts matching = *` includes one or more space separated patterns, using `*` as wildcard (any number of times
+ within each pattern). The patterns are checked against both chart id and chart name. A pattern starting with `!`
+ gives a negative match. So to match all charts named `apps.*` except charts ending in `*reads`, use `!*reads
+ apps.*` (so, the order is important: the first pattern matching the chart id or the chart name will be used -
+ positive or negative). There is also a URL parameter `filter` that can be used while querying `allmetrics`. The URL
+ parameter has a higher priority than the configuration option.
+
+- `send names instead of ids = yes | no` controls the metric names Netdata should send to the external database.
+ Netdata supports names and IDs for charts and dimensions. Usually IDs are unique identifiers as read by the system
+ and names are human friendly labels (also unique). Most charts and metrics have the same ID and name, but in several
+ cases they are different: disks with device-mapper, interrupts, QoS classes, statsd synthetic charts, etc.
+
+- `send configured labels = yes | no` controls if host labels defined in the `[host labels]` section in `netdata.conf`
+ should be sent to the external database
+
+- `send automatic labels = yes | no` controls if automatically created labels, like `_os_name` or `_architecture`
+ should be sent to the external database
+
+## HTTPS
+
+Netdata can send metrics to external databases using the TLS/SSL protocol. Unfortunately, some of
+them does not support encrypted connections, so you will have to configure a reverse proxy to enable
+HTTPS communication between Netdata and an external database. You can set up a reverse proxy with
+[Nginx](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/Running-behind-nginx.md).
+
+## Exporting engine monitoring
+
+Netdata creates five charts in the dashboard, under the **Netdata Monitoring** section, to help you monitor the health
+and performance of the exporting engine itself:
+
+1. **Buffered metrics**, the number of metrics Netdata added to the buffer for dispatching them to the
+ external database server.
+
+2. **Exporting data size**, the amount of data (in KB) Netdata added the buffer.
+
+3. **Exporting operations**, the number of operations performed by Netdata.
+
+4. **Exporting thread CPU usage**, the CPU resources consumed by the Netdata thread, that is responsible for sending
+ the metrics to the external database server.

+
+## Exporting engine alerts
+
+Netdata adds 3 alerts:
+
+1. `exporting_last_buffering`, number of seconds since the last successful buffering of exported data
+2. `exporting_metrics_sent`, percentage of metrics sent to the external database server
+3. `exporting_metrics_lost`, number of metrics lost due to repeating failures to contact the external database server

+
+# Writing metrics to TimescaleDB
+
+Thanks to Netdata's community of developers and system administrators, and Mahlon Smith
+([GitHub](https://github.com/mahlonsmith)/[Website](http://www.martini.nu/)) in particular, Netdata now supports
+archiving metrics directly to TimescaleDB.
+
+What's TimescaleDB? Here's how their team defines the project on their [GitHub page](https://github.com/timescale/timescaledb):
+
+> TimescaleDB is an open-source database designed to make SQL scalable for time-series data. It is engineered up from
+> PostgreSQL, providing automatic partitioning across time and space (partitioning key), as well as full SQL support.
+
+## Quickstart
+
+To get started archiving metrics to TimescaleDB right away, check out Mahlon's [`netdata-timescale-relay`
+repository](https://github.com/mahlonsmith/netdata-timescale-relay) on GitHub. Please be aware that backends subsystem
+was removed and Netdata configuration should be moved to the new `exporting.conf` configuration file. Use
+```conf
+[json:my_instance]
+```
+in `exporting.conf` instead of
+```conf
+[backend]
+ type = json
+```
+in `netdata.conf`.
+
+This small program takes JSON streams from a Netdata client and writes them to a PostgreSQL (aka TimescaleDB) table.
+You'll run this program in parallel with Netdata, and after a short [configuration
+process](https://github.com/mahlonsmith/netdata-timescale-relay#configuration), your metrics should start populating
+TimescaleDB.
+
+Finally, another member of Netdata's community has built a project that quickly launches Netdata, TimescaleDB, and
+Grafana in easy-to-manage Docker containers. Rune Juhl Jacobsen's
+[project](https://github.com/runejuhl/grafana-timescaledb) uses a `Makefile` to create everything, which makes it
+perfect for testing and experimentation.
+
+## Netdata&#8596;TimescaleDB in action
+
+Aside from creating incredible contributions to Netdata, Mahlon works at [LAIKA](https://www.laika.com/), an
+Oregon-based animation studio that's helped create acclaimed films like _Coraline_ and _Kubo and the Two Strings_.
+
+As part of his work to maintain the company's infrastructure of render farms, workstations, and virtual machines, he's
+using Netdata, `netdata-timescale-relay`, and TimescaleDB to store Netdata metrics alongside other data from other
+sources.
+
+> LAIKA is a long-time PostgreSQL user and added TimescaleDB to their infrastructure in 2018 to help manage and store
+> their IT metrics and time-series data. So far, the tool has been in production at LAIKA for over a year and helps them
+> with their use case of time-based logging, where they record over 8 million metrics an hour for netdata content alone.
+
+By archiving Netdata metrics to a database like TimescaleDB, LAIKA can consolidate metrics data from distributed
+machines efficiently. Mahlon can then correlate Netdata metrics with other sources directly in TimescaleDB.
+
+And, because LAIKA will soon be storing years worth of Netdata metrics data in TimescaleDB, they can analyze long-term
+metrics as their films move from concept to final cut.
+
+Read the full blog post from LAIKA at the [TimescaleDB
+blog](https://blog.timescale.com/blog/writing-it-metrics-from-netdata-to-timescaledb/amp/).
+
+Thank you to Mahlon, Rune, TimescaleDB, and the members of the Netdata community that requested and then built this
+exporting connection between Netdata and TimescaleDB!

+# Netdata, Prometheus, Grafana stack
+
+## Intro
+
+In this article I will walk you through the basics of getting Netdata, Prometheus and Grafana all working together and
+monitoring your application servers. This article will be using docker on your local workstation. We will be working
+with docker in an ad-hoc way, launching containers that run `/bin/bash` and attaching a TTY to them. I use docker here
+in a purely academic fashion and do not condone running Netdata in a container. I pick this method so individuals
+without cloud accounts or access to VMs can try this out and for it's speed of deployment.
+
+## Why Netdata, Prometheus, and Grafana
+
+Some time ago I was introduced to Netdata by a coworker. We were attempting to troubleshoot python code which seemed to
+be bottlenecked. I was instantly impressed by the amount of metrics Netdata exposes to you. I quickly added Netdata to
+my set of go-to tools when troubleshooting systems performance.
+
+Some time ago, even later, I was introduced to Prometheus. Prometheus is a monitoring application which flips the normal
+architecture around and polls rest endpoints for its metrics. This architectural change greatly simplifies and decreases
+the time necessary to begin monitoring your applications. Compared to current monitoring solutions the time spent on
+designing the infrastructure is greatly reduced. Running a single Prometheus server per application becomes feasible
+with the help of Grafana.
+
+Grafana has been the go to graphing tool for… some time now. It's awesome, anyone that has used it knows it's awesome.
+We can point Grafana at Prometheus and use Prometheus as a data source. This allows a pretty simple overall monitoring
+architecture: Install Netdata on your application servers, point Prometheus at Netdata, and then point Grafana at
+Prometheus.
+
+I'm omitting an important ingredient in this stack in order to keep this tutorial simple and that is service discovery.
+My personal preference is to use Consul. Prometheus can plug into consul and automatically begin to scrape new hosts
+that register a Netdata client with Consul.
+
+At the end of this tutorial you will understand how each technology fits together to create a modern monitoring stack.
+This stack will offer you visibility into your application and systems performance.
+
+## Getting Started - Netdata
+
+To begin let's create our container which we will install Netdata on. We need to run a container, forward the necessary
+port that Netdata listens on, and attach a tty so we can interact with the bash shell on the container. But before we do
+this we want name resolution between the two containers to work. In order to accomplish this we will create a
+user-defined network and attach both containers to this network. The first command we should run is:
+
+```sh
+docker network create --driver bridge netdata-tutorial
+```
+
+With this user-defined network created we can now launch our container we will install Netdata on and point it to this
+network.
+
+```sh
+docker run -it --name netdata --hostname netdata --network=netdata-tutorial -p 19999:19999 centos:latest '/bin/bash'
+```
+
+This command creates an interactive tty session (`-it`), gives the container both a name in relation to the docker
+daemon and a hostname (this is so you know what container is which when working in the shells and docker maps hostname
+resolution to this container), forwards the local port 19999 to the container's port 19999 (`-p 19999:19999`), sets the
+command to run (`/bin/bash`) and then chooses the base container images (`centos:latest`). After running this you should
+be sitting inside the shell of the container.
+
+After we have entered the shell we can install Netdata. This process could not be easier. If you take a look at [this
+link](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/packaging/installer/README.md), the Netdata devs give us several one-liners to install Netdata. I have not had
+any issues with these one liners and their bootstrapping scripts so far (If you guys run into anything do share). Run
+the following command in your container.
+
+<!-- candidate for reuse -->
+```sh
+wget -O /tmp/netdata-kickstart.sh https://my-netdata.io/kickstart.sh && sh /tmp/netdata-kickstart.sh --dont-wait
+```
+
+After the install completes you should be able to hit the Netdata dashboard at <http://localhost:19999/> (replace
+localhost if you're doing this on a VM or have the docker container hosted on a machine not on your local system). If
+this is your first time using Netdata I suggest you take a look around. The amount of time I've spent digging through
+`/proc` and calculating my own metrics has been greatly reduced by this tool. Take it all in.
+
+Next I want to draw your attention to a particular endpoint. Navigate to
+<http://localhost:19999/api/v1/allmetrics?format=prometheus&help=yes> In your browser. This is the endpoint which
+publishes all the metrics in a format which Prometheus understands. Let's take a look at one of these metrics.
+`netdata_disk_space_GiB_average{chart="disk_space._run",dimension="avail",family="/run",mount_point="/run",filesystem="tmpfs",mount_root="/"} 0.0298195 1684951093000`
+This metric is representing several things which I will go in more details in the section on Prometheus. For now understand
+that this metric: `netdata_disk_space_GiB_average` has several labels: (`chart`, `family`, `dimension`, `mountt_point`, `filesystem`, `mount_root`).
+This corresponds with disk space you see on the Netdata dashboard.
+
+![](https://github.com/ldelossa/NetdataTutorial/raw/master/Screen%20Shot%202017-07-28%20at%204.00.45%20PM.png)
+
+This CHART is called `system.cpu`, The FAMILY is `cpu`, and the DIMENSION we are observing is `system`. You can begin to
+draw links between the charts in Netdata to the Prometheus metrics format in this manner.
+
+## Prometheus
+
+We will be installing Prometheus in a container for purpose of demonstration. While Prometheus does have an official
+container I would like to walk through the install process and setup on a fresh container. This will allow anyone
+reading to migrate this tutorial to a VM or Server of any sort.
+
+Let's start another container in the same fashion as we did the Netdata container.
+
+```sh
+docker run -it --name prometheus --hostname prometheus \
+--network=netdata-tutorial -p 9090:9090 centos:latest '/bin/bash'
+```
+
+This should drop you into a shell once again. Once there quickly install your favorite editor as we will be editing
+files later in this tutorial.
+
+```sh
+yum install vim -y
+```
+
+You will also need `wget` and `curl` to download files and `sudo` if you are not root.
+
+```sh
+yum install curl sudo wget -y
+```
+
+Prometheus provides a tarball of their latest stable versions [here](https://prometheus.io/download/).
+
+Let's download the latest version and install into your container.
+
+```sh
+cd /tmp && curl -s https://api.github.com/repos/prometheus/prometheus/releases/latest \
+| grep "browser_download_url.*linux-amd64.tar.gz" \
+| cut -d '"' -f 4 \
+| wget -qi -
+
+mkdir /opt/prometheus
+
+sudo tar -xvf /tmp/prometheus-*linux-amd64.tar.gz -C /opt/prometheus --strip=1
+```
+
+This should get Prometheus installed into the container. Let's test that we can run Prometheus and connect to it's web
+interface.
+
+```sh
+/opt/prometheus/prometheus --config.file=/opt/prometheus/prometheus.yml
+```
+
+Now attempt to go to <http://localhost:9090/>. You should be presented with the Prometheus homepage. This is a good
+point to talk about Prometheus's data model which can be viewed here: <https://prometheus.io/docs/concepts/data_model/>
+As explained we have two key elements in Prometheus metrics. We have the _metric_ and its _labels_. Labels allow for
+granularity between metrics. Let's use our previous example to further explain.
+
+```conf
+netdata_disk_space_GiB_average{chart="disk_space._run",dimension="avail",family="/run",mount_point="/run",filesystem="tmpfs",mount_root="/"} 0.0298195 1684951093000
+```
+
+Here our metric is `netdata_disk_space_GiB_average` and our common labels are `chart`, `family`, and `dimension`. The
+last two values constitute the actual metric value for the metric type (gauge, counter, etc…). We also have specific
+label for this chart named `mount_point`,`filesystem`, and `mount_root`. We can begin graphing system metrics with this information,
+but first we need to hook up Prometheus to poll Netdata stats.
+
+Let's move our attention to Prometheus's configuration. Prometheus gets it config from the file located (in our example)
+at `/opt/prometheus/prometheus.yml`. I won't spend an extensive amount of time going over the configuration values
+documented here: <https://prometheus.io/docs/operating/configuration/>. We will be adding a new job under the
+`scrape_configs`. Let's make the `scrape_configs` section look like this (we can use the DNS name Netdata due to the
+custom user-defined network we created in docker beforehand).
+
+```yaml
+scrape_configs:
+ # The job name is added as a label `job=<job_name>` to any timeseries scraped from this config.
+ - job_name: 'prometheus'
+
+ # metrics_path defaults to '/metrics'
+ # scheme defaults to 'http'.
+
+ static_configs:
+ - targets: ['localhost:9090']
+
+ - job_name: 'netdata'
+
+ metrics_path: /api/v1/allmetrics
+ params:
+ format: [ prometheus ]
+
+ static_configs:
+ - targets: ['netdata:19999']
+```
+
+Let's start Prometheus once again by running `/opt/prometheus/prometheus`. If we now navigate to Prometheus at
+<http://localhost:9090/targets> we should see our target being successfully scraped. If we now go back to the
+Prometheus's homepage and begin to type `netdata\_` Prometheus should auto complete metrics it is now scraping.
+
+![](https://github.com/ldelossa/NetdataTutorial/raw/master/Screen%20Shot%202017-07-28%20at%205.13.43%20PM.png)
+
+Let's now start exploring how we can graph some metrics. Back in our Netdata container lets get the CPU spinning with a
+pointless busy loop. On the shell do the following:
+
+```sh
+[root@netdata /]# while true; do echo "HOT HOT HOT CPU"; done
+```
+
+Our Netdata cpu graph should be showing some activity. Let's represent this in Prometheus. In order to do this let's
+keep our metrics page open for reference: <http://localhost:19999/api/v1/allmetrics?format=prometheus&help=yes>. We are
+setting out to graph the data in the CPU chart so let's search for `system.cpu` in the metrics page above. We come
+across a section of metrics with the first comments `# COMMENT homogeneous chart "system.cpu", context "system.cpu",
+family "cpu", units "percentage"` followed by the metrics. This is a good start now let us drill down to the specific
+metric we would like to graph.
+
+```conf
+# COMMENT
+netdata_system_cpu_percentage_average: dimension "system", value is percentage, gauge, dt 1501275951 to 1501275951 inclusive
+netdata_system_cpu_percentage_average{chart="system.cpu",family="cpu",dimension="system"} 0.0000000 1501275951000
+```
+
+Here we learn that the metric name we care about is `netdata_system_cpu_percentage_average` so throw this into
+Prometheus and see what we get. We should see something similar to this (I shut off my busy loop)
+
+![](https://github.com/ldelossa/NetdataTutorial/raw/master/Screen%20Shot%202017-07-28%20at%205.47.53%20PM.png)
+
+This is a good step toward what we want. Also make note that Prometheus will tag on an `instance` label for us which
+corresponds to our statically defined job in the configuration file. This allows us to tailor our queries to specific
+instances. Now we need to isolate the dimension we want in our query. To do this let us refine the query slightly. Let's
+query the dimension also. Place this into our query text box.
+`netdata_system_cpu_percentage_average{dimension="system"}` We now wind up with the following graph.
+
+![](https://github.com/ldelossa/NetdataTutorial/raw/master/Screen%20Shot%202017-07-28%20at%205.54.40%20PM.png)
+
+Awesome, this is exactly what we wanted. If you haven't caught on yet we can emulate entire charts from Netdata by using
+the `chart` dimension. If you'd like you can combine the `chart` and `instance` dimension to create per-instance charts.
+Let's give this a try: `netdata_system_cpu_percentage_average{chart="system.cpu", instance="netdata:19999"}`
+
+This is the basics of using Prometheus to query Netdata. I'd advise everyone at this point to read [this
+page](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/exporting/prometheus/README.md#using-netdata-with-prometheus). The key point here is that Netdata can export metrics from
+its internal DB or can send metrics _as-collected_ by specifying the `source=as-collected` URL parameter like so.
+<http://localhost:19999/api/v1/allmetrics?format=prometheus&help=yes&types=yes&source=as-collected> If you choose to use
+this method you will need to use Prometheus's set of functions here: <https://prometheus.io/docs/querying/functions/> to
+obtain useful metrics as you are now dealing with raw counters from the system. For example you will have to use the
+`irate()` function over a counter to get that metric's rate per second. If your graphing needs are met by using the
+metrics returned by Netdata's internal database (not specifying any source= URL parameter) then use that. If you find
+limitations then consider re-writing your queries using the raw data and using Prometheus functions to get the desired
+chart.
+
+## Grafana
+
+Finally we make it to grafana. This is the easiest part in my opinion. This time we will actually run the official
+grafana docker container as all configuration we need to do is done via the GUI. Let's run the following command:
+
+```sh
+docker run -i -p 3000:3000 --network=netdata-tutorial grafana/grafana
+```
+
+This will get grafana running at <http://localhost:3000/>. Let's go there and
+login using the credentials Admin:Admin.
+
+The first thing we want to do is click "Add data source". Let's make it look like the following screenshot
+
+![](https://github.com/ldelossa/NetdataTutorial/raw/master/Screen%20Shot%202017-07-28%20at%206.36.55%20PM.png)
+
+With this completed let's graph! Create a new Dashboard by clicking on the top left Grafana Icon and create a new graph
+in that dashboard. Fill in the query like we did above and save.
+
+![](https://github.com/ldelossa/NetdataTutorial/raw/master/Screen%20Shot%202017-07-28%20at%206.39.38%20PM.png)
+
+## Conclusion
+
+There you have it, a complete systems monitoring stack which is very easy to deploy. From here I would begin to
+understand how Prometheus and a service discovery mechanism such as Consul can play together nicely. My current prod
+deployments automatically register Netdata services into Consul and Prometheus automatically begins to scrape them. Once
+achieved you do not have to think about the monitoring system until Prometheus cannot keep up with your scale. Once this
+happens there are options presented in the Prometheus documentation for solving this. Hope this was helpful, happy
+monitoring.

+Export metrics to AWS Kinesis Data Streams
+
+
+
+<img src="https://img.shields.io/badge/maintained%20by-Netdata-%2300ab44" />
+
+## Setup
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+####
+
+- First [install](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/en_us/sdk-for-cpp/v1/developer-guide/setup.html) AWS SDK for C++
+- Here are the instructions when building from source, to ensure 3rd party dependencies are installed:
+ ```bash
+ git clone --recursive https://github.com/aws/aws-sdk-cpp.git
+ cd aws-sdk-cpp/
+ git submodule update --init --recursive
+ mkdir BUILT
+ cd BUILT
+ cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr -DBUILD_ONLY=kinesis ..
+ make
+ make install
+ ```
+- `libcrypto`, `libssl`, and `libcurl` are also required to compile Netdata with Kinesis support enabled.
+- Next, Netdata should be re-installed from the source. The installer will detect that the required libraries are now available.
+
+
+
+### Configuration
+
+#### File
+
+The configuration file name for this integration is `exporting.conf`.
+
+
+You can edit the configuration file using the `edit-config` script from the
+Netdata [config directory](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/configure/nodes.md#the-netdata-config-directory).
+
+```bash
+cd /etc/netdata 2>/dev/null || cd /opt/netdata/etc/netdata
+sudo ./edit-config exporting.conf
+```
+#### Options
+
+Netdata automatically computes a partition key for every record with the purpose to distribute records across available shards evenly.
+The following options can be defined for this exporter.
+
+
+<details><summary>Config options</summary>
+
+| Name | Description | Default | Required |
+|:----|:-----------|:-------|:--------:|
+| enabled | Enables or disables an exporting connector instance (yes/no). | no | yes |
+| destination | Accepts a space separated list of hostnames, IPs (IPv4 and IPv6) and ports to connect to. Netdata will use the first available to send the metrics. | no | yes |
+| username | Username for HTTP authentication | my_username | no |
+| password | Password for HTTP authentication | my_password | no |
+| data source | Selects the kind of data that will be sent to the external database. (as collected/average/sum) | | no |
+| hostname | The hostname to be used for sending data to the external database server. | [global].hostname | no |
+| prefix | The prefix to add to all metrics. | Netdata | no |
+| update every | Frequency of sending sending data to the external database, in seconds. | 10 | no |
+| buffer on failures | The number of iterations (`update every` seconds) to buffer data, when the external database server is not available. | 10 | no |
+| timeout ms | The timeout in milliseconds to wait for the external database server to process the data. | 2 * update_every * 1000 | no |
+| send hosts matching | Hosts filter. Determines which hosts will be sent to the external database. The syntax is [simple patterns](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/tree/master/libnetdata/simple_pattern#simple-patterns). | localhost * | no |
+| send charts matching | One or more space separated patterns (use * as wildcard) checked against both chart id and chart name. | * | no |
+| send names instead of ids | Controls the metric names Netdata should send to the external database (yes/no). | | no |
+| send configured labels | Controls if host labels defined in the `[host labels]` section in `netdata.conf` should be sent to the external database (yes/no). | | no |
+| send automatic labels | Controls if automatically created labels, like `_os_name` or `_architecture` should be sent to the external database (yes/no). | | no |
+
+##### destination
+
+The format of each item in this list, is: [PROTOCOL:]IP[:PORT].
+- PROTOCOL can be udp or tcp. tcp is the default and only supported by the current exporting engine.
+- IP can be XX.XX.XX.XX (IPv4), or [XX:XX...XX:XX] (IPv6). For IPv6 you can to enclose the IP in [] to separate it from the port.
+- PORT can be a number of a service name. If omitted, the default port for the exporting connector will be used.
+
+Example IPv4:
+ ```yaml
+ destination = 10.11.14.2:4242 10.11.14.3:4242 10.11.14.4:4242
+ ```
+Example IPv6 and IPv4 together:
+```yaml
+destination = [ffff:...:0001]:2003 10.11.12.1:2003
+```
+When multiple servers are defined, Netdata will try the next one when the previous one fails.
+
+
+##### update every
+
+Netdata will add some randomness to this number, to prevent stressing the external server when many Netdata servers
+send data to the same database. This randomness does not affect the quality of the data, only the time they are sent.
+
+
+##### buffer on failures
+
+If the server fails to receive the data after that many failures, data loss on the connector instance is expected (Netdata will also log it).
+
+
+##### send hosts matching
+
+Includes one or more space separated patterns, using * as wildcard (any number of times within each pattern).
+The patterns are checked against the hostname (the localhost is always checked as localhost), allowing us to
+filter which hosts will be sent to the external database when this Netdata is a central Netdata aggregating multiple hosts.
+
+A pattern starting with `!` gives a negative match. So to match all hosts named `*db*` except hosts containing `*child*`,
+use `!*child* *db*` (so, the order is important: the first pattern matching the hostname will be used - positive or negative).
+
+
+##### send charts matching
+
+A pattern starting with ! gives a negative match. So to match all charts named apps.* except charts ending in *reads,
+use !*reads apps.* (so, the order is important: the first pattern matching the chart id or the chart name will be used,
+positive or negative). There is also a URL parameter filter that can be used while querying allmetrics. The URL parameter
+has a higher priority than the configuration option.
+
+
+##### send names instead of ids
+
+Netdata supports names and IDs for charts and dimensions. Usually IDs are unique identifiers as read by the system and names
+are human friendly labels (also unique). Most charts and metrics have the same ID and name, but in several cases they are
+different : disks with device-mapper, interrupts, QoS classes, statsd synthetic charts, etc.
+
+
+</details>
+
+#### Examples
+
+##### Example configuration
+
+Basic configuration
+
+```yaml
+[kinesis:my_instance]
+ enabled = yes
+ destination = us-east-1
+
+```
+##### Configuration with AWS credentials
+
+Add `:https` modifier to the connector type if you need to use the TLS/SSL protocol. For example: `remote_write:https:my_instance`.
+
+```yaml
+[kinesis:my_instance]
+ enabled = yes
+ destination = us-east-1
+ # AWS credentials
+ aws_access_key_id = your_access_key_id
+ aws_secret_access_key = your_secret_access_key
+ # destination stream
+ stream name = your_stream_name
+
+```

+
+## Setup
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+####
+
+- You have already installed Netdata and Graphite.
+
+
+
+### Configuration
+
+#### File
+
+The configuration file name for this integration is `exporting.conf`.
+
+
+You can edit the configuration file using the `edit-config` script from the
+Netdata [config directory](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/configure/nodes.md#the-netdata-config-directory).
+
+```bash
+cd /etc/netdata 2>/dev/null || cd /opt/netdata/etc/netdata
+sudo ./edit-config exporting.conf
+```
+#### Options
+
+The following options can be defined for this exporter.
+
+<details><summary>Config options</summary>
+
+| Name | Description | Default | Required |
+|:----|:-----------|:-------|:--------:|
+| enabled | Enables or disables an exporting connector instance (yes/no). | no | yes |
+| destination | Accepts a space separated list of hostnames, IPs (IPv4 and IPv6) and ports to connect to. Netdata will use the first available to send the metrics. | no | yes |
+| username | Username for HTTP authentication | my_username | no |
+| password | Password for HTTP authentication | my_password | no |
+| data source | Selects the kind of data that will be sent to the external database. (as collected/average/sum) | | no |
+| hostname | The hostname to be used for sending data to the external database server. | [global].hostname | no |
+| prefix | The prefix to add to all metrics. | netdata | no |
+| update every | Frequency of sending sending data to the external database, in seconds. | 10 | no |
+| buffer on failures | The number of iterations (`update every` seconds) to buffer data, when the external database server is not available. | 10 | no |
+| timeout ms | The timeout in milliseconds to wait for the external database server to process the data. | 20000 | no |
+| send hosts matching | Hosts filter. Determines which hosts will be sent to the external database. The syntax is [simple patterns](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/tree/master/libnetdata/simple_pattern#simple-patterns). | localhost * | no |
+| send charts matching | One or more space separated patterns (use * as wildcard) checked against both chart id and chart name. | * | no |
+| send names instead of ids | Controls the metric names Netdata should send to the external database (yes/no). | | no |
+| send configured labels | Controls if host labels defined in the `[host labels]` section in `netdata.conf` should be sent to the external database (yes/no). | | no |
+| send automatic labels | Controls if automatically created labels, like `_os_name` or `_architecture` should be sent to the external database (yes/no). | | no |
+
+##### destination
+
+The format of each item in this list, is: [PROTOCOL:]IP[:PORT].
+- PROTOCOL can be udp or tcp. tcp is the default and only supported by the current exporting engine.
+- IP can be XX.XX.XX.XX (IPv4), or [XX:XX...XX:XX] (IPv6). For IPv6 you can to enclose the IP in [] to separate it from the port.
+- PORT can be a number of a service name. If omitted, the default port for the exporting connector will be used.
+
+Example IPv4:
+ ```yaml
+ destination = 10.11.14.2:2003 10.11.14.3:4242 10.11.14.4:2003
+ ```
+Example IPv6 and IPv4 together:
+```yaml
+destination = [ffff:...:0001]:2003 10.11.12.1:2003
+```
+When multiple servers are defined, Netdata will try the next one when the previous one fails.
+
+
+##### update every
+
+Netdata will add some randomness to this number, to prevent stressing the external server when many Netdata servers
+send data to the same database. This randomness does not affect the quality of the data, only the time they are sent.
+
+
+##### buffer on failures
+
+If the server fails to receive the data after that many failures, data loss on the connector instance is expected (Netdata will also log it).
+
+
+##### send hosts matching
+
+Includes one or more space separated patterns, using * as wildcard (any number of times within each pattern).
+The patterns are checked against the hostname (the localhost is always checked as localhost), allowing us to
+filter which hosts will be sent to the external database when this Netdata is a central Netdata aggregating multiple hosts.
+
+A pattern starting with `!` gives a negative match. So to match all hosts named `*db*` except hosts containing `*child*`,
+use `!*child* *db*` (so, the order is important: the first pattern matching the hostname will be used - positive or negative).
+
+
+##### send charts matching
+
+A pattern starting with ! gives a negative match. So to match all charts named apps.* except charts ending in *reads,
+use !*reads apps.* (so, the order is important: the first pattern matching the chart id or the chart name will be used,
+positive or negative). There is also a URL parameter filter that can be used while querying allmetrics. The URL parameter
+has a higher priority than the configuration option.
+
+
+##### send names instead of ids
+
+Netdata supports names and IDs for charts and dimensions. Usually IDs are unique identifiers as read by the system and names
+are human friendly labels (also unique). Most charts and metrics have the same ID and name, but in several cases they are
+different : disks with device-mapper, interrupts, QoS classes, statsd synthetic charts, etc.
+
+
+</details>
+
+#### Examples
+
+##### Example configuration
+
+Basic configuration
+
+```yaml
+[graphite:netdata]
+ enabled = yes
+ destination = localhost:2003
+
+```
+##### Configuration with HTTPS and HTTP authentication
+
+Add `:https` modifier to the connector type if you need to use the TLS/SSL protocol. For example: `remote_write:https:my_instance`.
+
+```yaml
+[graphite:netdata]
+ enabled = yes
+ destination = localhost:2003
+ username = my_username
+ password = my_password
+
+```
+##### Detailed Configuration for a remote, secure host
+
+Add `:https` modifier to the connector type if you need to use the TLS/SSL protocol. For example: `remote_write:https:my_instance`.
+
+```yaml
+[graphite:https:netdata]
+ enabled = yes
+ username = my_username
+ password = my_password
+ destination = 10.10.1.114:2003
+ # data source = average
+ # prefix = netdata
+ # hostname = my_hostname
+ # update every = 10
+ # buffer on failures = 10
+ # timeout ms = 20000
+ # send names instead of ids = yes
+ # send charts matching = *
+ # send hosts matching = localhost *
+
+```

+####
+
+- You have already installed Netdata and Graphite.
+
+
+
+### Configuration
+
+#### File
+
+The configuration file name for this integration is `exporting.conf`.
+
+
+You can edit the configuration file using the `edit-config` script from the
+Netdata [config directory](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/configure/nodes.md#the-netdata-config-directory).
+
+```bash
+cd /etc/netdata 2>/dev/null || cd /opt/netdata/etc/netdata
+sudo ./edit-config exporting.conf
+```
+#### Options
+
+The following options can be defined for this exporter.
+
+<details><summary>Config options</summary>
+
+| Name | Description | Default | Required |
+|:----|:-----------|:-------|:--------:|
+| enabled | Enables or disables an exporting connector instance (yes/no). | no | yes |
+| destination | Accepts a space separated list of hostnames, IPs (IPv4 and IPv6) and ports to connect to. Netdata will use the first available to send the metrics. | no | yes |
+| username | Username for HTTP authentication | my_username | no |
+| password | Password for HTTP authentication | my_password | no |
+| data source | Selects the kind of data that will be sent to the external database. (as collected/average/sum) | | no |
+| hostname | The hostname to be used for sending data to the external database server. | [global].hostname | no |
+| prefix | The prefix to add to all metrics. | netdata | no |
+| update every | Frequency of sending sending data to the external database, in seconds. | 10 | no |
+| buffer on failures | The number of iterations (`update every` seconds) to buffer data, when the external database server is not available. | 10 | no |
+| timeout ms | The timeout in milliseconds to wait for the external database server to process the data. | 20000 | no |
+| send hosts matching | Hosts filter. Determines which hosts will be sent to the external database. The syntax is [simple patterns](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/tree/master/libnetdata/simple_pattern#simple-patterns). | localhost * | no |
+| send charts matching | One or more space separated patterns (use * as wildcard) checked against both chart id and chart name. | * | no |
+| send names instead of ids | Controls the metric names Netdata should send to the external database (yes/no). | | no |
+| send configured labels | Controls if host labels defined in the `[host labels]` section in `netdata.conf` should be sent to the external database (yes/no). | | no |
+| send automatic labels | Controls if automatically created labels, like `_os_name` or `_architecture` should be sent to the external database (yes/no). | | no |
+
+##### destination
+
+The format of each item in this list, is: [PROTOCOL:]IP[:PORT].
+- PROTOCOL can be udp or tcp. tcp is the default and only supported by the current exporting engine.
+- IP can be XX.XX.XX.XX (IPv4), or [XX:XX...XX:XX] (IPv6). For IPv6 you can to enclose the IP in [] to separate it from the port.
+- PORT can be a number of a service name. If omitted, the default port for the exporting connector will be used.
+
+Example IPv4:
+ ```yaml
+ destination = 10.11.14.2:2003 10.11.14.3:4242 10.11.14.4:2003
+ ```
+Example IPv6 and IPv4 together:
+```yaml
+destination = [ffff:...:0001]:2003 10.11.12.1:2003
+```
+When multiple servers are defined, Netdata will try the next one when the previous one fails.
+
+
+##### update every
+
+Netdata will add some randomness to this number, to prevent stressing the external server when many Netdata servers
+send data to the same database. This randomness does not affect the quality of the data, only the time they are sent.
+
+
+##### buffer on failures
+
+If the server fails to receive the data after that many failures, data loss on the connector instance is expected (Netdata will also log it).
+
+
+##### send hosts matching
+
+Includes one or more space separated patterns, using * as wildcard (any number of times within each pattern).
+The patterns are checked against the hostname (the localhost is always checked as localhost), allowing us to
+filter which hosts will be sent to the external database when this Netdata is a central Netdata aggregating multiple hosts.
+
+A pattern starting with `!` gives a negative match. So to match all hosts named `*db*` except hosts containing `*child*`,
+use `!*child* *db*` (so, the order is important: the first pattern matching the hostname will be used - positive or negative).
+
+
+##### send charts matching
+
+A pattern starting with ! gives a negative match. So to match all charts named apps.* except charts ending in *reads,
+use !*reads apps.* (so, the order is important: the first pattern matching the chart id or the chart name will be used,
+positive or negative). There is also a URL parameter filter that can be used while querying allmetrics. The URL parameter
+has a higher priority than the configuration option.
+
+
+##### send names instead of ids
+
+Netdata supports names and IDs for charts and dimensions. Usually IDs are unique identifiers as read by the system and names
+are human friendly labels (also unique). Most charts and metrics have the same ID and name, but in several cases they are
+different : disks with device-mapper, interrupts, QoS classes, statsd synthetic charts, etc.
+
+
+</details>
+
+#### Examples
+
+##### Example configuration
+
+Basic configuration
+
+```yaml
+[graphite:netdata]
+ enabled = yes
+ destination = localhost:2003
+
+```
+##### Configuration with HTTPS and HTTP authentication
+
+Add `:https` modifier to the connector type if you need to use the TLS/SSL protocol. For example: `remote_write:https:my_instance`.
+
+```yaml
+[graphite:netdata]
+ enabled = yes
+ destination = localhost:2003
+ username = my_username
+ password = my_password
+
+```
+##### Detailed Configuration for a remote, secure host
+
+Add `:https` modifier to the connector type if you need to use the TLS/SSL protocol. For example: `remote_write:https:my_instance`.
+
+```yaml
+[graphite:https:netdata]
+ enabled = yes
+ username = my_username
+ password = my_password
+ destination = 10.10.1.114:2003
+ # data source = average
+ # prefix = netdata
+ # hostname = my_hostname
+ # update every = 10
+ # buffer on failures = 10
+ # timeout ms = 20000
+ # send names instead of ids = yes
+ # send charts matching = *
+ # send hosts matching = localhost *
+

+
+
+Use the JSON connector for the exporting engine to archive your agent's metrics to JSON document databases for long-term storage,
+further analysis, or correlation with data from other sources
+
+
+
+<img src="https://img.shields.io/badge/maintained%20by-Netdata-%2300ab44" />
+
+## Setup
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+####
+
+
+
+
+### Configuration
+
+#### File
+
+The configuration file name for this integration is `exporting.conf`.
+
+
+You can edit the configuration file using the `edit-config` script from the
+Netdata [config directory](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/configure/nodes.md#the-netdata-config-directory).
+
+```bash
+cd /etc/netdata 2>/dev/null || cd /opt/netdata/etc/netdata
+sudo ./edit-config exporting.conf
+```
+#### Options
+
+The following options can be defined for this exporter.
+
+
+<details><summary>Config options</summary>
+
+| Name | Description | Default | Required |
+|:----|:-----------|:-------|:--------:|
+| enabled | Enables or disables an exporting connector instance (yes/no). | no | yes |
+| destination | Accepts a space separated list of hostnames, IPs (IPv4 and IPv6) and ports to connect to. Netdata will use the first available to send the metrics. | pubsub.googleapis.com | yes |
+| username | Username for HTTP authentication | my_username | no |
+| password | Password for HTTP authentication | my_password | no |
+| data source | Selects the kind of data that will be sent to the external database. (as collected/average/sum) | | no |
+| hostname | The hostname to be used for sending data to the external database server. | [global].hostname | no |
+| prefix | The prefix to add to all metrics. | Netdata | no |
+| update every | Frequency of sending sending data to the external database, in seconds. | 10 | no |
+| buffer on failures | The number of iterations (`update every` seconds) to buffer data, when the external database server is not available. | 10 | no |
+| timeout ms | The timeout in milliseconds to wait for the external database server to process the data. | 2 * update_every * 1000 | no |
+| send hosts matching | Hosts filter. Determines which hosts will be sent to the external database. The syntax is [simple patterns](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/tree/master/libnetdata/simple_pattern#simple-patterns). | localhost * | no |
+| send charts matching | One or more space separated patterns (use * as wildcard) checked against both chart id and chart name. | * | no |
+| send names instead of ids | Controls the metric names Netdata should send to the external database (yes/no). | | no |
+| send configured labels | Controls if host labels defined in the `[host labels]` section in `netdata.conf` should be sent to the external database (yes/no). | | no |
+| send automatic labels | Controls if automatically created labels, like `_os_name` or `_architecture` should be sent to the external database (yes/no). | | no |
+
+##### destination
+
+The format of each item in this list, is: [PROTOCOL:]IP[:PORT].
+- PROTOCOL can be udp or tcp. tcp is the default and only supported by the current exporting engine.
+- IP can be XX.XX.XX.XX (IPv4), or [XX:XX...XX:XX] (IPv6). For IPv6 you can to enclose the IP in [] to separate it from the port.
+- PORT can be a number of a service name. If omitted, the default port for the exporting connector will be used.
+
+Example IPv4:
+ ```yaml
+ destination = localhost:5448
+ ```
+When multiple servers are defined, Netdata will try the next one when the previous one fails.
+
+
+##### update every
+
+Netdata will add some randomness to this number, to prevent stressing the external server when many Netdata servers
+send data to the same database. This randomness does not affect the quality of the data, only the time they are sent.
+
+
+##### buffer on failures
+
+If the server fails to receive the data after that many failures, data loss on the connector instance is expected (Netdata will also log it).
+
+
+##### send hosts matching
+
+Includes one or more space separated patterns, using * as wildcard (any number of times within each pattern).
+The patterns are checked against the hostname (the localhost is always checked as localhost), allowing us to
+filter which hosts will be sent to the external database when this Netdata is a central Netdata aggregating multiple hosts.
+
+A pattern starting with `!` gives a negative match. So to match all hosts named `*db*` except hosts containing `*child*`,
+use `!*child* *db*` (so, the order is important: the first pattern matching the hostname will be used - positive or negative).
+
+
+##### send charts matching
+
+A pattern starting with ! gives a negative match. So to match all charts named apps.* except charts ending in *reads,
+use !*reads apps.* (so, the order is important: the first pattern matching the chart id or the chart name will be used,
+positive or negative). There is also a URL parameter filter that can be used while querying allmetrics. The URL parameter
+has a higher priority than the configuration option.
+
+
+##### send names instead of ids
+
+Netdata supports names and IDs for charts and dimensions. Usually IDs are unique identifiers as read by the system and names
+are human friendly labels (also unique). Most charts and metrics have the same ID and name, but in several cases they are
+different : disks with device-mapper, interrupts, QoS classes, statsd synthetic charts, etc.
+
+
+</details>
+
+#### Examples
+
+##### Basic configuration
+
+
+
+```yaml
+[json:my_json_instance]
+ enabled = yes
+ destination = localhost:5448
+
+```
+##### Configuration with HTTPS and HTTP authentication
+
+Add `:https` modifier to the connector type if you need to use the TLS/SSL protocol. For example: `json:https:my_json_instance`.
+
+```yaml
+[json:my_json_instance]
+ enabled = yes
+ destination = localhost:5448
+ username = my_username
+ password = my_password
+
+```

+# MongoDB
+
+
+<img src="https://netdata.cloud/img/mongodb.svg" width="150"/>
+
+
+Use the MongoDB connector for the exporting engine to archive your agent's metrics to a MongoDB database
+for long-term storage, further analysis, or correlation with data from other sources.
+
+
+
+<img src="https://img.shields.io/badge/maintained%20by-Netdata-%2300ab44" />
+
+## Setup
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+####
+
+- To use MongoDB as an external storage for long-term archiving, you should first [install](http://mongoc.org/libmongoc/current/installing.html) libmongoc 1.7.0 or higher.
+- Next, re-install Netdata from the source, which detects that the required library is now available.
+
+
+
+### Configuration
+
+#### File
+
+The configuration file name for this integration is `exporting.conf`.
+
+
+You can edit the configuration file using the `edit-config` script from the
+Netdata [config directory](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/configure/nodes.md#the-netdata-config-directory).
+
+```bash
+cd /etc/netdata 2>/dev/null || cd /opt/netdata/etc/netdata
+sudo ./edit-config exporting.conf
+```
+#### Options
+
+The following options can be defined for this exporter.
+
+
+<details><summary>Config options</summary>
+
+| Name | Description | Default | Required |
+|:----|:-----------|:-------|:--------:|
+| enabled | Enables or disables an exporting connector instance (yes/no). | no | yes |
+| destination | Accepts a space separated list of hostnames, IPs (IPv4 and IPv6) and ports to connect to. Netdata will use the first available to send the metrics. | localhost | yes |
+| username | Username for HTTP authentication | my_username | no |
+| password | Password for HTTP authentication | my_password | no |
+| data source | Selects the kind of data that will be sent to the external database. (as collected/average/sum) | | no |
+| hostname | The hostname to be used for sending data to the external database server. | [global].hostname | no |
+| prefix | The prefix to add to all metrics. | Netdata | no |
+| update every | Frequency of sending sending data to the external database, in seconds. | 10 | no |
+| buffer on failures | The number of iterations (`update every` seconds) to buffer data, when the external database server is not available. | 10 | no |
+| timeout ms | The timeout in milliseconds to wait for the external database server to process the data. | 2 * update_every * 1000 | no |
+| send hosts matching | Hosts filter. Determines which hosts will be sent to the external database. The syntax is [simple patterns](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/tree/master/libnetdata/simple_pattern#simple-patterns). | localhost * | no |
+| send charts matching | One or more space separated patterns (use * as wildcard) checked against both chart id and chart name. | * | no |
+| send names instead of ids | Controls the metric names Netdata should send to the external database (yes/no). | | no |
+| send configured labels | Controls if host labels defined in the `[host labels]` section in `netdata.conf` should be sent to the external database (yes/no). | | no |
+| send automatic labels | Controls if automatically created labels, like `_os_name` or `_architecture` should be sent to the external database (yes/no). | | no |
+
+##### destination
+
+The format of each item in this list, is: [PROTOCOL:]IP[:PORT].
+- PROTOCOL can be udp or tcp. tcp is the default and only supported by the current exporting engine.
+- IP can be XX.XX.XX.XX (IPv4), or [XX:XX...XX:XX] (IPv6). For IPv6 you can to enclose the IP in [] to separate it from the port.
+- PORT can be a number of a service name. If omitted, the default port for the exporting connector will be used.
+
+Example IPv4:
+ ```yaml
+ destination = 10.11.14.2:27017 10.11.14.3:4242 10.11.14.4:27017
+ ```
+Example IPv6 and IPv4 together:
+```yaml
+destination = [ffff:...:0001]:2003 10.11.12.1:2003
+```
+When multiple servers are defined, Netdata will try the next one when the previous one fails.
+
+
+##### update every
+
+Netdata will add some randomness to this number, to prevent stressing the external server when many Netdata servers
+send data to the same database. This randomness does not affect the quality of the data, only the time they are sent.
+
+
+##### buffer on failures
+
+If the server fails to receive the data after that many failures, data loss on the connector instance is expected (Netdata will also log it).
+
+
+##### send hosts matching
+
+Includes one or more space separated patterns, using * as wildcard (any number of times within each pattern).
+The patterns are checked against the hostname (the localhost is always checked as localhost), allowing us to
+filter which hosts will be sent to the external database when this Netdata is a central Netdata aggregating multiple hosts.
+
+A pattern starting with `!` gives a negative match. So to match all hosts named `*db*` except hosts containing `*child*`,
+use `!*child* *db*` (so, the order is important: the first pattern matching the hostname will be used - positive or negative).
+
+
+##### send charts matching
+
+A pattern starting with ! gives a negative match. So to match all charts named apps.* except charts ending in *reads,
+use !*reads apps.* (so, the order is important: the first pattern matching the chart id or the chart name will be used,
+positive or negative). There is also a URL parameter filter that can be used while querying allmetrics. The URL parameter
+has a higher priority than the configuration option.
+
+
+##### send names instead of ids
+
+Netdata supports names and IDs for charts and dimensions. Usually IDs are unique identifiers as read by the system and names
+are human friendly labels (also unique). Most charts and metrics have the same ID and name, but in several cases they are
+different : disks with device-mapper, interrupts, QoS classes, statsd synthetic charts, etc.
+
+
+</details>
+
+#### Examples
+
+##### Basic configuration
+
+The default socket timeout depends on the exporting connector update interval.
+The timeout is 500 ms shorter than the interval (but not less than 1000 ms). You can alter the timeout using the sockettimeoutms MongoDB URI option.
+
+
+```yaml
+[mongodb:my_instance]
+ enabled = yes
+ destination = mongodb://<hostname>
+ database = your_database_name
+ collection = your_collection_name
+
+```

+
+
+Use the OpenTSDB connector for the exporting engine to archive your Netdata metrics to OpenTSDB databases for long-term storage,
+further analysis, or correlation with data from other sources.
+
+
+
+<img src="https://img.shields.io/badge/maintained%20by-Netdata-%2300ab44" />
+
+## Setup
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+####
+
+- OpenTSDB and Netdata, installed, configured and operational.
+
+
+
+### Configuration
+
+#### File
+
+The configuration file name for this integration is `exporting.conf`.
+
+
+You can edit the configuration file using the `edit-config` script from the
+Netdata [config directory](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/configure/nodes.md#the-netdata-config-directory).
+
+```bash
+cd /etc/netdata 2>/dev/null || cd /opt/netdata/etc/netdata
+sudo ./edit-config exporting.conf
+```
+#### Options
+
+The following options can be defined for this exporter.
+
+<details><summary>Config options</summary>
+
+| Name | Description | Default | Required |
+|:----|:-----------|:-------|:--------:|
+| enabled | Enables or disables an exporting connector instance (yes/no). | no | yes |
+| destination | Accepts a space separated list of hostnames, IPs (IPv4 and IPv6) and ports to connect to. Netdata will use the first available to send the metrics. | no | yes |
+| username | Username for HTTP authentication | my_username | no |
+| password | Password for HTTP authentication | my_password | no |
+| data source | Selects the kind of data that will be sent to the external database. (as collected/average/sum) | | no |
+| hostname | The hostname to be used for sending data to the external database server. | [global].hostname | no |
+| prefix | The prefix to add to all metrics. | Netdata | no |
+| update every | Frequency of sending sending data to the external database, in seconds. | 10 | no |
+| buffer on failures | The number of iterations (`update every` seconds) to buffer data, when the external database server is not available. | 10 | no |
+| timeout ms | The timeout in milliseconds to wait for the external database server to process the data. | 2 * update_every * 1000 | no |
+| send hosts matching | Hosts filter. Determines which hosts will be sent to OpenTSDB. The syntax is [simple patterns](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/tree/master/libnetdata/simple_pattern#simple-patterns). | localhost * | no |
+| send charts matching | One or more space separated patterns (use * as wildcard) checked against both chart id and chart name. | * | no |
+| send names instead of ids | Controls the metric names Netdata should send to the external database (yes/no). | | no |
+| send configured labels | Controls if host labels defined in the `[host labels]` section in `netdata.conf` should be sent to the external database (yes/no). | | no |
+| send automatic labels | Controls if automatically created labels, like `_os_name` or `_architecture` should be sent to the external database (yes/no). | | no |
+
+##### destination
+
+The format of each item in this list, is: [PROTOCOL:]IP[:PORT].
+- PROTOCOL can be udp or tcp. tcp is the default and only supported by the current exporting engine.
+- IP can be XX.XX.XX.XX (IPv4), or [XX:XX...XX:XX] (IPv6). For IPv6 you can to enclose the IP in [] to separate it from the port.
+- PORT can be a number of a service name. If omitted, the default port for the exporting connector will be used (opentsdb = 4242).
+
+Example IPv4:
+ ```yaml
+ destination = 10.11.14.2:4242 10.11.14.3:4242 10.11.14.4:4242
+ ```
+Example IPv6 and IPv4 together:
+```yaml
+destination = [ffff:...:0001]:2003 10.11.12.1:2003
+```
+When multiple servers are defined, Netdata will try the next one when the previous one fails.
+
+
+##### update every
+
+Netdata will add some randomness to this number, to prevent stressing the external server when many Netdata servers
+send data to the same database. This randomness does not affect the quality of the data, only the time they are sent.
+
+
+##### buffer on failures
+
+If the server fails to receive the data after that many failures, data loss on the connector instance is expected (Netdata will also log it).
+
+
+##### send hosts matching
+
+Includes one or more space separated patterns, using * as wildcard (any number of times within each pattern).
+The patterns are checked against the hostname (the localhost is always checked as localhost), allowing us to
+filter which hosts will be sent to the external database when this Netdata is a central Netdata aggregating multiple hosts.
+
+A pattern starting with `!` gives a negative match. So to match all hosts named `*db*` except hosts containing `*child*`,
+use `!*child* *db*` (so, the order is important: the first pattern matching the hostname will be used - positive or negative).
+
+
+##### send charts matching
+
+A pattern starting with ! gives a negative match. So to match all charts named apps.* except charts ending in *reads,
+use !*reads apps.* (so, the order is important: the first pattern matching the chart id or the chart name will be used,
+positive or negative). There is also a URL parameter filter that can be used while querying allmetrics. The URL parameter
+has a higher priority than the configuration option.
+
+
+##### send names instead of ids
+
+Netdata supports names and IDs for charts and dimensions. Usually IDs are unique identifiers as read by the system and names
+are human friendly labels (also unique). Most charts and metrics have the same ID and name, but in several cases they are
+different : disks with device-mapper, interrupts, QoS classes, statsd synthetic charts, etc.
+
+
+</details>
+
+#### Examples
+
+##### Minimal configuration
+
+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`.
+
+
+```yaml
+[opentsdb:my_opentsdb_instance]
+ enabled = yes
+ destination = localhost:4242
+
+```
+##### HTTP authentication
+
+
+
+```yaml
+[opentsdb:my_opentsdb_instance]
+ enabled = yes
+ destination = localhost:4242
+ username = my_username
+ password = my_password
+
+```
+##### Using `send hosts matching`
+
+
+
+```yaml
+[opentsdb:my_opentsdb_instance]
+ enabled = yes
+ destination = localhost:4242
+ send hosts matching = localhost *
+
+```
+##### Using `send charts matching`
+
+
+
+```yaml
+[opentsdb:my_opentsdb_instance]
+ enabled = yes
+ destination = localhost:4242
+ send charts matching = *
+
+```

+ The patterns are checked against the hostname (the localhost is always checked as localhost), allowing us to
+ filter which hosts will be sent to the external database when this Netdata is a central Netdata aggregating multiple hosts.
+
+ A pattern starting with `!` gives a negative match. So to match all hosts named `*db*` except hosts containing `*child*`,
+ use `!*child* *db*` (so, the order is important: the first pattern matching the hostname will be used - positive or negative).

+# Using Netdata with Prometheus
+
+Netdata supports exporting metrics to Prometheus in two ways:
+
+ - You can [configure Prometheus to scrape Netdata metrics](#configure-prometheus-to-scrape-netdata-metrics).
+
+ - You can [configure Netdata to push metrics to Prometheus](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/exporting/prometheus/remote_write/README.md)
+ , using the Prometheus remote write API.
+
+## Netdata support for Prometheus
+
+Regardless of the methodology, you first need to understand how Netdata structures the metrics it exports to Prometheus
+and the capabilities it provides. The examples provided in this document assume that you will be using Netdata as
+a metrics endpoint, but the concepts apply as well to the remote write API method.
+
+### Understanding Netdata metrics
+
+#### Charts
+
+Each chart in Netdata has several properties (common to all its metrics):
+
+- `chart_id` - uniquely identifies a chart.
+
+- `chart_name` - a more human friendly name for `chart_id`, also unique.
+
+- `context` - this is the template of the chart. All disk I/O charts have the same context, all mysql requests charts
+ have the same context, etc. This is used for alert templates to match all the charts they should be attached to.
+
+- `family` groups a set of charts together. It is used as the submenu of the dashboard.
+
+- `units` is the units for all the metrics attached to the chart.
+
+#### Dimensions
+
+Then each Netdata chart contains metrics called `dimensions`. All the dimensions of a chart have the same units of
+measurement, and are contextually in the same category (ie. the metrics for disk bandwidth are `read` and `write` and
+they are both in the same chart).
+
+### Netdata data source
+
+Netdata can send metrics to Prometheus from 3 data sources:
+
+- `as collected` or `raw` - this data source sends the metrics to Prometheus as they are collected. No conversion is
+ done by Netdata. The latest value for each metric is just given to Prometheus. This is the most preferred method by
+ Prometheus, but it is also the harder to work with. To work with this data source, you will need to understand how
+ to get meaningful values out of them.
+
+ The format of the metrics is: `CONTEXT{chart="CHART",family="FAMILY",dimension="DIMENSION"}`.
+
+ If the metric is a counter (`incremental` in Netdata lingo), `_total` is appended the context.
+
+ Unlike Prometheus, Netdata allows each dimension of a chart to have a different algorithm and conversion constants
+ (`multiplier` and `divisor`). In this case, that the dimensions of a charts are heterogeneous, Netdata will use this
+ format: `CONTEXT_DIMENSION{chart="CHART",family="FAMILY"}`
+
+- `average` - this data source uses the Netdata database to send the metrics to Prometheus as they are presented on
+ the Netdata dashboard. So, all the metrics are sent as gauges, at the units they are presented in the Netdata
+ dashboard charts. This is the easiest to work with.
+
+ The format of the metrics is: `CONTEXT_UNITS_average{chart="CHART",family="FAMILY",dimension="DIMENSION"}`.
+
+ When this source is used, Netdata keeps track of the last access time for each Prometheus server fetching the
+ metrics. This last access time is used at the subsequent queries of the same Prometheus server to identify the
+ time-frame the `average` will be calculated.
+
+ So, no matter how frequently Prometheus scrapes Netdata, it will get all the database data.
+ To identify each Prometheus server, Netdata uses by default the IP of the client fetching the metrics.
+
+ If there are multiple Prometheus servers fetching data from the same Netdata, using the same IP, each Prometheus
+ server can append `server=NAME` to the URL. Netdata will use this `NAME` to uniquely identify the Prometheus server.
+
+- `sum` or `volume`, is like `average` but instead of averaging the values, it sums them.
+
+ The format of the metrics is: `CONTEXT_UNITS_sum{chart="CHART",family="FAMILY",dimension="DIMENSION"}`. All the
+ other operations are the same with `average`.
+
+ To change the data source to `sum` or `as-collected` you need to provide the `source` parameter in the request URL.
+ e.g.: `http://your.netdata.ip:19999/api/v1/allmetrics?format=prometheus&help=yes&source=as-collected`
+
+ Keep in mind that early versions of Netdata were sending the metrics as: `CHART_DIMENSION{}`.
+
+### Querying Metrics
+
+Fetch with your web browser this URL:
+
+`http://your.netdata.ip:19999/api/v1/allmetrics?format=prometheus&help=yes`
+
+_(replace `your.netdata.ip` with the ip or hostname of your Netdata server)_
+
+Netdata will respond with all the metrics it sends to Prometheus.
+
+If you search that page for `"system.cpu"` you will find all the metrics Netdata is exporting to Prometheus for this
+chart. `system.cpu` is the chart name on the Netdata dashboard (on the Netdata dashboard all charts have a text heading
+such as : `Total CPU utilization (system.cpu)`. What we are interested here in the chart name: `system.cpu`).
+
+Searching for `"system.cpu"` reveals:

+For more information check Prometheus documentation.
+
+### Streaming data from upstream hosts
+
+The `format=prometheus` parameter only exports the host's Netdata metrics. If you are using the parent-child
+functionality of Netdata this ignores any upstream hosts - so you should consider using the below in your
+**prometheus.yml**:
+
+```yaml
+ metrics_path: '/api/v1/allmetrics'
+ params:
+ format: [ prometheus_all_hosts ]
+ honor_labels: true
+```
+
+This will report all upstream host data, and `honor_labels` will make Prometheus take note of the instance names
+provided.
+
+### Timestamps
+
+To pass the metrics through Prometheus pushgateway, Netdata supports the option `&timestamps=no` to send the metrics
+without timestamps.
+
+## Netdata host variables
+
+Netdata collects various system configuration metrics, like the max number of TCP sockets supported, the max number of
+files allowed system-wide, various IPC sizes, etc. These metrics are not exposed to Prometheus by default.
+
+To expose them, append `variables=yes` to the Netdata URL.
+
+### TYPE and HELP
+
+To save bandwidth, and because Prometheus does not use them anyway, `# TYPE` and `# HELP` lines are suppressed. If
+wanted they can be re-enabled via `types=yes` and `help=yes`, e.g.
+`/api/v1/allmetrics?format=prometheus&types=yes&help=yes`
+
+Note that if enabled, the `# TYPE` and `# HELP` lines are repeated for every occurrence of a metric, which goes against
+the Prometheus
+documentation's [specification for these lines](https://github.com/prometheus/docs/blob/master/content/docs/instrumenting/exposition_formats.md#comments-help-text-and-type-information).
+
+### Names and IDs
+
+Netdata supports names and IDs for charts and dimensions. Usually IDs are unique identifiers as read by the system and
+names are human friendly labels (also unique).
+
+Most charts and metrics have the same ID and name, but in several cases they are different: disks with device-mapper,
+interrupts, QoS classes, statsd synthetic charts, etc.
+
+The default is controlled in `exporting.conf`:
+
+```conf
+[prometheus:exporter]
+ send names instead of ids = yes | no
+```
+
+You can overwrite it from Prometheus, by appending to the URL:
+
+- `&names=no` to get IDs (the old behaviour)
+- `&names=yes` to get names
+
+### Filtering metrics sent to Prometheus
+
+Netdata can filter the metrics it sends to Prometheus with this setting:
+
+```conf
+[prometheus:exporter]
+ send charts matching = *
+```
+
+This settings accepts a space separated list
+of [simple patterns](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/libnetdata/simple_pattern/README.md) to match the
+**charts** to be sent to Prometheus. Each pattern can use `*` as wildcard, any number of times (e.g `*a*b*c*` is valid).
+Patterns starting with `!` give a negative match (e.g `!*.bad users.* groups.*` will send all the users and groups
+except `bad` user and `bad` group). The order is important: the first match (positive or negative) left to right, is
+used.
+
+### Changing the prefix of Netdata metrics
+
+Netdata sends all metrics prefixed with `netdata_`. You can change this in `netdata.conf`, like this:
+
+```conf
+[prometheus:exporter]
+ prefix = netdata
+```
+
+It can also be changed from the URL, by appending `&prefix=netdata`.
+
+### Metric Units
+
+The default source `average` adds the unit of measurement to the name of each metric (e.g. `_KiB_persec`). To hide the
+units and get the same metric names as with the other sources, append to the URL `&hideunits=yes`.
+
+The units were standardized in v1.12, with the effect of changing the metric names. To get the metric names as they were
+before v1.12, append to the URL `&oldunits=yes`
+
+### Accuracy of `average` and `sum` data sources
+
+When the data source is set to `average` or `sum`, Netdata remembers the last access of each client accessing Prometheus
+metrics and uses this last access time to respond with the `average` or `sum` of all the entries in the database since
+that. This means that Prometheus servers are not losing data when they access Netdata with data source = `average` or
+`sum`.
+
+To uniquely identify each Prometheus server, Netdata uses the IP of the client accessing the metrics. If however the IP
+is not good enough for identifying a single Prometheus server (e.g. when Prometheus servers are accessing Netdata
+through a web proxy, or when multiple Prometheus servers are NATed to a single IP), each Prometheus may append
+`&server=NAME` to the URL. This `NAME` is used by Netdata to uniquely identify each Prometheus server and keep track of
+its last access time.
+
+## Configure Prometheus to scrape Netdata metrics
+
+The following `prometheus.yml` file will scrape all netdata metrics "as collected".
+
+Make sure to replace `your.netdata.ip` with the IP or hostname of the host running Netdata.
+
+```yaml
+# my global config
+global:
+ scrape_interval: 5s # Set the scrape interval to every 5 seconds. Default is every 1 minute.
+ evaluation_interval: 5s # Evaluate rules every 5 seconds. The default is every 1 minute.
+ # scrape_timeout is set to the global default (10s).
+
+ # Attach these labels to any time series or alerts when communicating with
+ # external systems (federation, remote storage, Alertmanager).
+ external_labels:
+ monitor: 'codelab-monitor'
+
+# Load rules once and periodically evaluate them according to the global 'evaluation_interval'.
+rule_files:
+# - "first.rules"
+# - "second.rules"
+
+# A scrape configuration containing exactly one endpoint to scrape:
+# Here it's Prometheus itself.
+scrape_configs:
+ # The job name is added as a label `job=<job_name>` to any timeseries scraped from this config.
+ - job_name: 'prometheus'
+
+ # metrics_path defaults to '/metrics'
+ # scheme defaults to 'http'.
+
+ static_configs:
+ - targets: [ '0.0.0.0:9090' ]
+
+ - job_name: 'netdata-scrape'
+
+ metrics_path: '/api/v1/allmetrics'
+ params:
+ # format: prometheus | prometheus_all_hosts
+ # You can use `prometheus_all_hosts` if you want Prometheus to set the `instance` to your hostname instead of IP
+ format: [ prometheus ]
+ #
+ # sources: as-collected | raw | average | sum | volume
+ # default is: average
+ #source: [as-collected]
+ #
+ # server name for this prometheus - the default is the client IP
+ # for Netdata to uniquely identify it
+ #server: ['prometheus1']
+ honor_labels: true
+
+ static_configs:
+ - targets: [ '{your.netdata.ip}:19999' ]
+```
+
+### Prometheus alerts for Netdata metrics
+
+The following is an example of a `nodes.yml` file that will allow Prometheus to generate alerts from some Netdata sources.
+Save it at `/opt/prometheus/nodes.yml`, and add a _- "nodes.yml"_ entry under the _rule_files:_ section in the example prometheus.yml file above.
+
+```yaml
+groups:
+ - name: nodes
+
+ rules:
+ - alert: node_high_cpu_usage_70

+
+
+<img src="https://img.shields.io/badge/maintained%20by-Netdata-%2300ab44" />
+
+## Limitations
+
+The remote write exporting connector does not support buffer on failures.
+
+
+## Setup
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+####
+
+- Netdata and the external storage provider of your choice, installed, configured and operational.
+- `protobuf` and `snappy` libraries installed.
+- Netdata reinstalled after the libraries.
+
+
+
+### Configuration
+
+#### File
+
+The configuration file name for this integration is `exporting.conf`.
+
+
+You can edit the configuration file using the `edit-config` script from the
+Netdata [config directory](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/configure/nodes.md#the-netdata-config-directory).
+
+```bash
+cd /etc/netdata 2>/dev/null || cd /opt/netdata/etc/netdata
+sudo ./edit-config exporting.conf
+```
+#### Options
+
+The following options can be defined for this exporter.
+
+<details><summary>Config options</summary>
+
+| Name | Description | Default | Required |
+|:----|:-----------|:-------|:--------:|
+| enabled | Enables or disables an exporting connector instance (yes/no). | no | yes |
+| destination | Accepts a space separated list of hostnames, IPs (IPv4 and IPv6) and ports to connect to. Netdata will use the first available to send the metrics. | no | yes |
+| username | Username for HTTP authentication | my_username | no |
+| password | Password for HTTP authentication | my_password | no |
+| data source | Selects the kind of data that will be sent to the external database. (as collected/average/sum) | | no |
+| hostname | The hostname to be used for sending data to the external database server. | [global].hostname | no |
+| prefix | The prefix to add to all metrics. | netdata | no |
+| update every | Frequency of sending sending data to the external database, in seconds. | 10 | no |
+| buffer on failures | The number of iterations (`update every` seconds) to buffer data, when the external database server is not available. | 10 | no |
+| timeout ms | The timeout in milliseconds to wait for the external database server to process the data. | 20000 | no |
+| send hosts matching | Hosts filter. Determines which hosts will be sent to the external database. The syntax is [simple patterns](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/tree/master/libnetdata/simple_pattern#simple-patterns). | localhost * | no |
+| send charts matching | One or more space separated patterns (use * as wildcard) checked against both chart id and chart name. | * | no |
+| send names instead of ids | Controls the metric names Netdata should send to the external database (yes/no). | | no |
+| send configured labels | Controls if host labels defined in the `[host labels]` section in `netdata.conf` should be sent to the external database (yes/no). | | no |
+| send automatic labels | Controls if automatically created labels, like `_os_name` or `_architecture` should be sent to the external database (yes/no). | | no |
+
+##### destination
+
+The format of each item in this list, is: [PROTOCOL:]IP[:PORT].
+- PROTOCOL can be udp or tcp. tcp is the default and only supported by the current exporting engine.
+- IP can be XX.XX.XX.XX (IPv4), or [XX:XX...XX:XX] (IPv6). For IPv6 you can to enclose the IP in [] to separate it from the port.
+- PORT can be a number of a service name. If omitted, the default port for the exporting connector will be used.
+
+Example IPv4:
+ ```yaml
+ destination = 10.11.14.2:2003 10.11.14.3:4242 10.11.14.4:2003
+ ```
+Example IPv6 and IPv4 together:
+```yaml
+destination = [ffff:...:0001]:2003 10.11.12.1:2003
+```
+When multiple servers are defined, Netdata will try the next one when the previous one fails.
+
+
+##### update every
+
+Netdata will add some randomness to this number, to prevent stressing the external server when many Netdata servers
+send data to the same database. This randomness does not affect the quality of the data, only the time they are sent.
+
+
+##### buffer on failures
+
+If the server fails to receive the data after that many failures, data loss on the connector instance is expected (Netdata will also log it).
+
+
+##### send hosts matching
+
+Includes one or more space separated patterns, using * as wildcard (any number of times within each pattern).
+The patterns are checked against the hostname (the localhost is always checked as localhost), allowing us to
+filter which hosts will be sent to the external database when this Netdata is a central Netdata aggregating multiple hosts.
+
+A pattern starting with `!` gives a negative match. So to match all hosts named `*db*` except hosts containing `*child*`,
+use `!*child* *db*` (so, the order is important: the first pattern matching the hostname will be used - positive or negative).
+
+
+##### send charts matching
+
+A pattern starting with ! gives a negative match. So to match all charts named apps.* except charts ending in *reads,
+use !*reads apps.* (so, the order is important: the first pattern matching the chart id or the chart name will be used,
+positive or negative). There is also a URL parameter filter that can be used while querying allmetrics. The URL parameter
+has a higher priority than the configuration option.
+
+
+##### send names instead of ids
+
+Netdata supports names and IDs for charts and dimensions. Usually IDs are unique identifiers as read by the system and names
+are human friendly labels (also unique). Most charts and metrics have the same ID and name, but in several cases they are
+different : disks with device-mapper, interrupts, QoS classes, statsd synthetic charts, etc.

+
+```
+##### Example configuration with HTTPS and HTTP authentication
+
+Add `:https` modifier to the connector type if you need to use the TLS/SSL protocol. For example: `remote_write:https:my_instance`.
+
+```yaml
+[prometheus_remote_write:https:my_instance]
+ enabled = yes

+Use the Prometheus remote write exporting connector to archive your Netdata metrics to the external storage provider of your choice for long-term storage and further analysis.
+
+
+<img src="https://img.shields.io/badge/maintained%20by-Netdata-%2300ab44" />
+
+## Limitations
+
+The remote write exporting connector does not support buffer on failures.
+
+
+## Setup
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+####
+
+- Netdata and the external storage provider of your choice, installed, configured and operational.
+- `protobuf` and `snappy` libraries installed.
+- Netdata reinstalled after the libraries.
+
+
+
+### Configuration
+
+#### File
+
+The configuration file name for this integration is `exporting.conf`.
+
+
+You can edit the configuration file using the `edit-config` script from the
+Netdata [config directory](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/configure/nodes.md#the-netdata-config-directory).
+
+```bash
+cd /etc/netdata 2>/dev/null || cd /opt/netdata/etc/netdata
+sudo ./edit-config exporting.conf
+```
+#### Options
+
+The following options can be defined for this exporter.
+
+<details><summary>Config options</summary>
+
+| Name | Description | Default | Required |
+|:----|:-----------|:-------|:--------:|
+| enabled | Enables or disables an exporting connector instance (yes/no). | no | yes |
+| destination | Accepts a space separated list of hostnames, IPs (IPv4 and IPv6) and ports to connect to. Netdata will use the first available to send the metrics. | no | yes |
+| username | Username for HTTP authentication | my_username | no |
+| password | Password for HTTP authentication | my_password | no |
+| data source | Selects the kind of data that will be sent to the external database. (as collected/average/sum) | | no |
+| hostname | The hostname to be used for sending data to the external database server. | [global].hostname | no |
+| prefix | The prefix to add to all metrics. | netdata | no |
+| update every | Frequency of sending sending data to the external database, in seconds. | 10 | no |
+| buffer on failures | The number of iterations (`update every` seconds) to buffer data, when the external database server is not available. | 10 | no |
+| timeout ms | The timeout in milliseconds to wait for the external database server to process the data. | 20000 | no |
+| send hosts matching | Hosts filter. Determines which hosts will be sent to the external database. The syntax is [simple patterns](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/tree/master/libnetdata/simple_pattern#simple-patterns). | localhost * | no |
+| send charts matching | One or more space separated patterns (use * as wildcard) checked against both chart id and chart name. | * | no |
+| send names instead of ids | Controls the metric names Netdata should send to the external database (yes/no). | | no |
+| send configured labels | Controls if host labels defined in the `[host labels]` section in `netdata.conf` should be sent to the external database (yes/no). | | no |
+| send automatic labels | Controls if automatically created labels, like `_os_name` or `_architecture` should be sent to the external database (yes/no). | | no |
+
+##### destination
+
+The format of each item in this list, is: [PROTOCOL:]IP[:PORT].
+- PROTOCOL can be udp or tcp. tcp is the default and only supported by the current exporting engine.
+- IP can be XX.XX.XX.XX (IPv4), or [XX:XX...XX:XX] (IPv6). For IPv6 you can to enclose the IP in [] to separate it from the port.
+- PORT can be a number of a service name. If omitted, the default port for the exporting connector will be used.
+
+Example IPv4:
+ ```yaml
+ destination = 10.11.14.2:2003 10.11.14.3:4242 10.11.14.4:2003
+ ```
+Example IPv6 and IPv4 together:
+```yaml
+destination = [ffff:...:0001]:2003 10.11.12.1:2003
+```
+When multiple servers are defined, Netdata will try the next one when the previous one fails.
+
+
+##### update every
+
+Netdata will add some randomness to this number, to prevent stressing the external server when many Netdata servers
+send data to the same database. This randomness does not affect the quality of the data, only the time they are sent.
+
+
+##### buffer on failures
+
+If the server fails to receive the data after that many failures, data loss on the connector instance is expected (Netdata will also log it).
+
+
+##### send hosts matching
+
+Includes one or more space separated patterns, using * as wildcard (any number of times within each pattern).
+The patterns are checked against the hostname (the localhost is always checked as localhost), allowing us to
+filter which hosts will be sent to the external database when this Netdata is a central Netdata aggregating multiple hosts.
+
+A pattern starting with `!` gives a negative match. So to match all hosts named `*db*` except hosts containing `*child*`,
+use `!*child* *db*` (so, the order is important: the first pattern matching the hostname will be used - positive or negative).
+
+
+##### send charts matching
+
+A pattern starting with ! gives a negative match. So to match all charts named apps.* except charts ending in *reads,
+use !*reads apps.* (so, the order is important: the first pattern matching the chart id or the chart name will be used,
+positive or negative). There is also a URL parameter filter that can be used while querying allmetrics. The URL parameter
+has a higher priority than the configuration option.
+
+
+##### send names instead of ids
+
+Netdata supports names and IDs for charts and dimensions. Usually IDs are unique identifiers as read by the system and names
+are human friendly labels (also unique). Most charts and metrics have the same ID and name, but in several cases they are
+different : disks with device-mapper, interrupts, QoS classes, statsd synthetic charts, etc.

+#### Examples
+
+##### Example configuration
+
+Basic example configuration for Prometheus remote write.
+
+```yaml
+[prometheus_remote_write:my_instance]
+ enabled = yes
+ destination = 10.11.14.2:2003
+ remote write URL path = /receive
+
+```
+##### Example configuration with HTTPS and HTTP authentication
+
+Add `:https` modifier to the connector type if you need to use the TLS/SSL protocol. For example: `remote_write:https:my_instance`.
+
+```yaml
+[prometheus_remote_write:https:my_instance]
+ enabled = yes
+ destination = 10.11.14.2:2003
+ remote write URL path = /receive
+ username = my_username
+ password = my_password

+<img src="https://img.shields.io/badge/maintained%20by-Netdata-%2300ab44" />
+
+## Limitations
+
+The remote write exporting connector does not support buffer on failures.
+
+
+## Setup
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+####
+
+- Netdata and the external storage provider of your choice, installed, configured and operational.
+- `protobuf` and `snappy` libraries installed.
+- Netdata reinstalled after the libraries.
+
+
+
+### Configuration
+
+#### File
+
+The configuration file name for this integration is `exporting.conf`.
+
+
+You can edit the configuration file using the `edit-config` script from the
+Netdata [config directory](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/configure/nodes.md#the-netdata-config-directory).
+
+```bash
+cd /etc/netdata 2>/dev/null || cd /opt/netdata/etc/netdata
+sudo ./edit-config exporting.conf
+```
+#### Options
+
+The following options can be defined for this exporter.
+
+<details><summary>Config options</summary>
+
+| Name | Description | Default | Required |
+|:----|:-----------|:-------|:--------:|
+| enabled | Enables or disables an exporting connector instance (yes/no). | no | yes |
+| destination | Accepts a space separated list of hostnames, IPs (IPv4 and IPv6) and ports to connect to. Netdata will use the first available to send the metrics. | no | yes |
+| username | Username for HTTP authentication | my_username | no |
+| password | Password for HTTP authentication | my_password | no |
+| data source | Selects the kind of data that will be sent to the external database. (as collected/average/sum) | | no |
+| hostname | The hostname to be used for sending data to the external database server. | [global].hostname | no |
+| prefix | The prefix to add to all metrics. | netdata | no |
+| update every | Frequency of sending sending data to the external database, in seconds. | 10 | no |
+| buffer on failures | The number of iterations (`update every` seconds) to buffer data, when the external database server is not available. | 10 | no |
+| timeout ms | The timeout in milliseconds to wait for the external database server to process the data. | 20000 | no |
+| send hosts matching | Hosts filter. Determines which hosts will be sent to the external database. The syntax is [simple patterns](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/tree/master/libnetdata/simple_pattern#simple-patterns). | localhost * | no |
+| send charts matching | One or more space separated patterns (use * as wildcard) checked against both chart id and chart name. | * | no |
+| send names instead of ids | Controls the metric names Netdata should send to the external database (yes/no). | | no |
+| send configured labels | Controls if host labels defined in the `[host labels]` section in `netdata.conf` should be sent to the external database (yes/no). | | no |
+| send automatic labels | Controls if automatically created labels, like `_os_name` or `_architecture` should be sent to the external database (yes/no). | | no |
+
+##### destination
+
+The format of each item in this list, is: [PROTOCOL:]IP[:PORT].
+- PROTOCOL can be udp or tcp. tcp is the default and only supported by the current exporting engine.
+- IP can be XX.XX.XX.XX (IPv4), or [XX:XX...XX:XX] (IPv6). For IPv6 you can to enclose the IP in [] to separate it from the port.
+- PORT can be a number of a service name. If omitted, the default port for the exporting connector will be used.
+
+Example IPv4:
+ ```yaml
+ destination = 10.11.14.2:2003 10.11.14.3:4242 10.11.14.4:2003
+ ```
+Example IPv6 and IPv4 together:
+```yaml
+destination = [ffff:...:0001]:2003 10.11.12.1:2003
+```
+When multiple servers are defined, Netdata will try the next one when the previous one fails.
+
+
+##### update every
+
+Netdata will add some randomness to this number, to prevent stressing the external server when many Netdata servers
+send data to the same database. This randomness does not affect the quality of the data, only the time they are sent.
+
+
+##### buffer on failures
+
+If the server fails to receive the data after that many failures, data loss on the connector instance is expected (Netdata will also log it).
+
+
+##### send hosts matching
+
+Includes one or more space separated patterns, using * as wildcard (any number of times within each pattern).
+The patterns are checked against the hostname (the localhost is always checked as localhost), allowing us to
+filter which hosts will be sent to the external database when this Netdata is a central Netdata aggregating multiple hosts.
+
+A pattern starting with `!` gives a negative match. So to match all hosts named `*db*` except hosts containing `*child*`,
+use `!*child* *db*` (so, the order is important: the first pattern matching the hostname will be used - positive or negative).

+use !*reads apps.* (so, the order is important: the first pattern matching the chart id or the chart name will be used,
+positive or negative). There is also a URL parameter filter that can be used while querying allmetrics. The URL parameter
+has a higher priority than the configuration option.
+
+
+##### send names instead of ids
+
+Netdata supports names and IDs for charts and dimensions. Usually IDs are unique identifiers as read by the system and names
+are human friendly labels (also unique). Most charts and metrics have the same ID and name, but in several cases they are
+different : disks with device-mapper, interrupts, QoS classes, statsd synthetic charts, etc.

+##### destination
+
+The format of each item in this list, is: [PROTOCOL:]IP[:PORT].
+- PROTOCOL can be udp or tcp. tcp is the default and only supported by the current exporting engine.
+- IP can be XX.XX.XX.XX (IPv4), or [XX:XX...XX:XX] (IPv6). For IPv6 you can to enclose the IP in [] to separate it from the port.
+- PORT can be a number of a service name. If omitted, the default port for the exporting connector will be used.
+
+Example IPv4:
+ ```yaml
+ destination = 10.11.14.2:2003 10.11.14.3:4242 10.11.14.4:2003
+ ```
+Example IPv6 and IPv4 together:
+```yaml
+destination = [ffff:...:0001]:2003 10.11.12.1:2003
+```
+When multiple servers are defined, Netdata will try the next one when the previous one fails.
+
+
+##### update every
+
+Netdata will add some randomness to this number, to prevent stressing the external server when many Netdata servers
+send data to the same database. This randomness does not affect the quality of the data, only the time they are sent.
+
+
+##### buffer on failures
+
+If the server fails to receive the data after that many failures, data loss on the connector instance is expected (Netdata will also log it).
+
+
+##### send hosts matching
+
+Includes one or more space separated patterns, using * as wildcard (any number of times within each pattern).
+The patterns are checked against the hostname (the localhost is always checked as localhost), allowing us to
+filter which hosts will be sent to the external database when this Netdata is a central Netdata aggregating multiple hosts.
+
+A pattern starting with `!` gives a negative match. So to match all hosts named `*db*` except hosts containing `*child*`,
+use `!*child* *db*` (so, the order is important: the first pattern matching the hostname will be used - positive or negative).
+
+
+##### send charts matching
+
+A pattern starting with ! gives a negative match. So to match all charts named apps.* except charts ending in *reads,
+use !*reads apps.* (so, the order is important: the first pattern matching the chart id or the chart name will be used,
+positive or negative). There is also a URL parameter filter that can be used while querying allmetrics. The URL parameter
+has a higher priority than the configuration option.
+
+
+##### send names instead of ids
+
+Netdata supports names and IDs for charts and dimensions. Usually IDs are unique identifiers as read by the system and names
+are human friendly labels (also unique). Most charts and metrics have the same ID and name, but in several cases they are
+different : disks with device-mapper, interrupts, QoS classes, statsd synthetic charts, etc.

+
+## Limitations
+
+The remote write exporting connector does not support buffer on failures.
+
+
+## Setup
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+####
+
+- Netdata and the external storage provider of your choice, installed, configured and operational.
+- `protobuf` and `snappy` libraries installed.
+- Netdata reinstalled after the libraries.
+
+
+
+### Configuration
+
+#### File
+
+The configuration file name for this integration is `exporting.conf`.
+
+
+You can edit the configuration file using the `edit-config` script from the
+Netdata [config directory](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/configure/nodes.md#the-netdata-config-directory).
+
+```bash
+cd /etc/netdata 2>/dev/null || cd /opt/netdata/etc/netdata
+sudo ./edit-config exporting.conf
+```
+#### Options
+
+The following options can be defined for this exporter.
+
+<details><summary>Config options</summary>
+
+| Name | Description | Default | Required |
+|:----|:-----------|:-------|:--------:|
+| enabled | Enables or disables an exporting connector instance (yes/no). | no | yes |
+| destination | Accepts a space separated list of hostnames, IPs (IPv4 and IPv6) and ports to connect to. Netdata will use the first available to send the metrics. | no | yes |
+| username | Username for HTTP authentication | my_username | no |
+| password | Password for HTTP authentication | my_password | no |
+| data source | Selects the kind of data that will be sent to the external database. (as collected/average/sum) | | no |
+| hostname | The hostname to be used for sending data to the external database server. | [global].hostname | no |
+| prefix | The prefix to add to all metrics. | netdata | no |
+| update every | Frequency of sending sending data to the external database, in seconds. | 10 | no |
+| buffer on failures | The number of iterations (`update every` seconds) to buffer data, when the external database server is not available. | 10 | no |
+| timeout ms | The timeout in milliseconds to wait for the external database server to process the data. | 20000 | no |
+| send hosts matching | Hosts filter. Determines which hosts will be sent to the external database. The syntax is [simple patterns](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/tree/master/libnetdata/simple_pattern#simple-patterns). | localhost * | no |
+| send charts matching | One or more space separated patterns (use * as wildcard) checked against both chart id and chart name. | * | no |
+| send names instead of ids | Controls the metric names Netdata should send to the external database (yes/no). | | no |
+| send configured labels | Controls if host labels defined in the `[host labels]` section in `netdata.conf` should be sent to the external database (yes/no). | | no |
+| send automatic labels | Controls if automatically created labels, like `_os_name` or `_architecture` should be sent to the external database (yes/no). | | no |
+
+##### destination
+
+The format of each item in this list, is: [PROTOCOL:]IP[:PORT].
+- PROTOCOL can be udp or tcp. tcp is the default and only supported by the current exporting engine.
+- IP can be XX.XX.XX.XX (IPv4), or [XX:XX...XX:XX] (IPv6). For IPv6 you can to enclose the IP in [] to separate it from the port.
+- PORT can be a number of a service name. If omitted, the default port for the exporting connector will be used.
+
+Example IPv4:
+ ```yaml
+ destination = 10.11.14.2:2003 10.11.14.3:4242 10.11.14.4:2003
+ ```
+Example IPv6 and IPv4 together:
+```yaml
+destination = [ffff:...:0001]:2003 10.11.12.1:2003
+```
+When multiple servers are defined, Netdata will try the next one when the previous one fails.
+
+
+##### update every
+
+Netdata will add some randomness to this number, to prevent stressing the external server when many Netdata servers
+send data to the same database. This randomness does not affect the quality of the data, only the time they are sent.
+
+
+##### buffer on failures
+
+If the server fails to receive the data after that many failures, data loss on the connector instance is expected (Netdata will also log it).
+
+
+##### send hosts matching
+
+Includes one or more space separated patterns, using * as wildcard (any number of times within each pattern).
+The patterns are checked against the hostname (the localhost is always checked as localhost), allowing us to
+filter which hosts will be sent to the external database when this Netdata is a central Netdata aggregating multiple hosts.
+
+A pattern starting with `!` gives a negative match. So to match all hosts named `*db*` except hosts containing `*child*`,
+use `!*child* *db*` (so, the order is important: the first pattern matching the hostname will be used - positive or negative).
+
+
+##### send charts matching
+
+A pattern starting with ! gives a negative match. So to match all charts named apps.* except charts ending in *reads,
+use !*reads apps.* (so, the order is important: the first pattern matching the chart id or the chart name will be used,
+positive or negative). There is also a URL parameter filter that can be used while querying allmetrics. The URL parameter
+has a higher priority than the configuration option.
+
+
+##### send names instead of ids
+
+Netdata supports names and IDs for charts and dimensions. Usually IDs are unique identifiers as read by the system and names
+are human friendly labels (also unique). Most charts and metrics have the same ID and name, but in several cases they are
+different : disks with device-mapper, interrupts, QoS classes, statsd synthetic charts, etc.
+
+

+
+#### Examples
+
+##### Example configuration
+
+Basic example configuration for Prometheus remote write.
+
+```yaml
+[prometheus_remote_write:my_instance]
+ enabled = yes
+ destination = 10.11.14.2:2003
+ remote write URL path = /receive
+
+```
+##### Example configuration with HTTPS and HTTP authentication
+
+Add `:https` modifier to the connector type if you need to use the TLS/SSL protocol. For example: `remote_write:https:my_instance`.
+
+```yaml
+[prometheus_remote_write:https:my_instance]
+ enabled = yes
+ destination = 10.11.14.2:2003
+ remote write URL path = /receive
+ username = my_username
+ password = my_password

+use !*reads apps.* (so, the order is important: the first pattern matching the chart id or the chart name will be used,

+
+##### send names instead of ids
+
+Netdata supports names and IDs for charts and dimensions. Usually IDs are unique identifiers as read by the system and names

+
+## Limitations
+
+The remote write exporting connector does not support buffer on failures.
+
+
+## Setup
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+####
+
+- Netdata and the external storage provider of your choice, installed, configured and operational.
+- `protobuf` and `snappy` libraries installed.
+- Netdata reinstalled after the libraries.
+
+
+
+### Configuration
+
+#### File
+
+The configuration file name for this integration is `exporting.conf`.
+
+
+You can edit the configuration file using the `edit-config` script from the
+Netdata [config directory](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/configure/nodes.md#the-netdata-config-directory).
+
+```bash
+cd /etc/netdata 2>/dev/null || cd /opt/netdata/etc/netdata
+sudo ./edit-config exporting.conf
+```
+#### Options
+
+The following options can be defined for this exporter.
+
+<details><summary>Config options</summary>
+
+| Name | Description | Default | Required |
+|:----|:-----------|:-------|:--------:|
+| enabled | Enables or disables an exporting connector instance (yes/no). | no | yes |
+| destination | Accepts a space separated list of hostnames, IPs (IPv4 and IPv6) and ports to connect to. Netdata will use the first available to send the metrics. | no | yes |
+| username | Username for HTTP authentication | my_username | no |
+| password | Password for HTTP authentication | my_password | no |
+| data source | Selects the kind of data that will be sent to the external database. (as collected/average/sum) | | no |
+| hostname | The hostname to be used for sending data to the external database server. | [global].hostname | no |
+| prefix | The prefix to add to all metrics. | netdata | no |
+| update every | Frequency of sending sending data to the external database, in seconds. | 10 | no |
+| buffer on failures | The number of iterations (`update every` seconds) to buffer data, when the external database server is not available. | 10 | no |
+| timeout ms | The timeout in milliseconds to wait for the external database server to process the data. | 20000 | no |
+| send hosts matching | Hosts filter. Determines which hosts will be sent to the external database. The syntax is [simple patterns](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/tree/master/libnetdata/simple_pattern#simple-patterns). | localhost * | no |
+| send charts matching | One or more space separated patterns (use * as wildcard) checked against both chart id and chart name. | * | no |
+| send names instead of ids | Controls the metric names Netdata should send to the external database (yes/no). | | no |
+| send configured labels | Controls if host labels defined in the `[host labels]` section in `netdata.conf` should be sent to the external database (yes/no). | | no |
+| send automatic labels | Controls if automatically created labels, like `_os_name` or `_architecture` should be sent to the external database (yes/no). | | no |
+
+##### destination
+
+The format of each item in this list, is: [PROTOCOL:]IP[:PORT].
+- PROTOCOL can be udp or tcp. tcp is the default and only supported by the current exporting engine.
+- IP can be XX.XX.XX.XX (IPv4), or [XX:XX...XX:XX] (IPv6). For IPv6 you can to enclose the IP in [] to separate it from the port.
+- PORT can be a number of a service name. If omitted, the default port for the exporting connector will be used.
+
+Example IPv4:
+ ```yaml
+ destination = 10.11.14.2:2003 10.11.14.3:4242 10.11.14.4:2003
+ ```
+Example IPv6 and IPv4 together:
+```yaml
+destination = [ffff:...:0001]:2003 10.11.12.1:2003
+```
+When multiple servers are defined, Netdata will try the next one when the previous one fails.
+
+
+##### update every
+
+Netdata will add some randomness to this number, to prevent stressing the external server when many Netdata servers
+send data to the same database. This randomness does not affect the quality of the data, only the time they are sent.
+
+
+##### buffer on failures
+
+If the server fails to receive the data after that many failures, data loss on the connector instance is expected (Netdata will also log it).
+
+
+##### send hosts matching
+
+Includes one or more space separated patterns, using * as wildcard (any number of times within each pattern).
+The patterns are checked against the hostname (the localhost is always checked as localhost), allowing us to
+filter which hosts will be sent to the external database when this Netdata is a central Netdata aggregating multiple hosts.
+
+A pattern starting with `!` gives a negative match. So to match all hosts named `*db*` except hosts containing `*child*`,
+use `!*child* *db*` (so, the order is important: the first pattern matching the hostname will be used - positive or negative).
+
+
+##### send charts matching
+
+A pattern starting with ! gives a negative match. So to match all charts named apps.* except charts ending in *reads,
+use !*reads apps.* (so, the order is important: the first pattern matching the chart id or the chart name will be used,
+positive or negative). There is also a URL parameter filter that can be used while querying allmetrics. The URL parameter
+has a higher priority than the configuration option.
+
+
+##### send names instead of ids
+
+Netdata supports names and IDs for charts and dimensions. Usually IDs are unique identifiers as read by the system and names
+are human friendly labels (also unique). Most charts and metrics have the same ID and name, but in several cases they are
+different : disks with device-mapper, interrupts, QoS classes, statsd synthetic charts, etc.

+
+##### destination
+
+The format of each item in this list, is: [PROTOCOL:]IP[:PORT].
+- PROTOCOL can be udp or tcp. tcp is the default and only supported by the current exporting engine.
+- IP can be XX.XX.XX.XX (IPv4), or [XX:XX...XX:XX] (IPv6). For IPv6 you can to enclose the IP in [] to separate it from the port.
+- PORT can be a number of a service name. If omitted, the default port for the exporting connector will be used.
+
+Example IPv4:
+ ```yaml
+ destination = 10.11.14.2:2003 10.11.14.3:4242 10.11.14.4:2003
+ ```
+Example IPv6 and IPv4 together:
+```yaml
+destination = [ffff:...:0001]:2003 10.11.12.1:2003
+```
+When multiple servers are defined, Netdata will try the next one when the previous one fails.
+
+
+##### update every
+
+Netdata will add some randomness to this number, to prevent stressing the external server when many Netdata servers
+send data to the same database. This randomness does not affect the quality of the data, only the time they are sent.
+
+
+##### buffer on failures
+
+If the server fails to receive the data after that many failures, data loss on the connector instance is expected (Netdata will also log it).
+
+
+##### send hosts matching
+
+Includes one or more space separated patterns, using * as wildcard (any number of times within each pattern).
+The patterns are checked against the hostname (the localhost is always checked as localhost), allowing us to
+filter which hosts will be sent to the external database when this Netdata is a central Netdata aggregating multiple hosts.
+
+A pattern starting with `!` gives a negative match. So to match all hosts named `*db*` except hosts containing `*child*`,
+use `!*child* *db*` (so, the order is important: the first pattern matching the hostname will be used - positive or negative).
+
+
+##### send charts matching
+
+A pattern starting with ! gives a negative match. So to match all charts named apps.* except charts ending in *reads,
+use !*reads apps.* (so, the order is important: the first pattern matching the chart id or the chart name will be used,
+positive or negative). There is also a URL parameter filter that can be used while querying allmetrics. The URL parameter
+has a higher priority than the configuration option.
+
+
+##### send names instead of ids
+
+Netdata supports names and IDs for charts and dimensions. Usually IDs are unique identifiers as read by the system and names
+are human friendly labels (also unique). Most charts and metrics have the same ID and name, but in several cases they are
+different : disks with device-mapper, interrupts, QoS classes, statsd synthetic charts, etc.

+
+#### Examples
+
+##### Example configuration
+
+Basic example configuration for Prometheus remote write.
+
+```yaml
+[prometheus_remote_write:my_instance]
+ enabled = yes
+ destination = 10.11.14.2:2003
+ remote write URL path = /receive
+
+```
+##### Example configuration with HTTPS and HTTP authentication
+
+Add `:https` modifier to the connector type if you need to use the TLS/SSL protocol. For example: `remote_write:https:my_instance`.
+
+```yaml
+[prometheus_remote_write:https:my_instance]
+ enabled = yes
+ destination = 10.11.14.2:2003
+ remote write URL path = /receive
+ username = my_username
+ password = my_password

+
+Use the Prometheus remote write exporting connector to archive your Netdata metrics to the external storage provider of your choice for long-term storage and further analysis.
+
+
+<img src="https://img.shields.io/badge/maintained%20by-Netdata-%2300ab44" />
+
+## Limitations
+
+The remote write exporting connector does not support buffer on failures.
+
+
+## Setup
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+####
+
+- Netdata and the external storage provider of your choice, installed, configured and operational.
+- `protobuf` and `snappy` libraries installed.
+- Netdata reinstalled after the libraries.
+
+
+
+### Configuration
+
+#### File
+
+The configuration file name for this integration is `exporting.conf`.
+
+
+You can edit the configuration file using the `edit-config` script from the
+Netdata [config directory](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/configure/nodes.md#the-netdata-config-directory).
+
+```bash

+```yaml
+destination = [ffff:...:0001]:2003 10.11.12.1:2003

+
+
+Export metrics to Google Cloud Pub/Sub Service
+
+
+
+<img src="https://img.shields.io/badge/maintained%20by-Netdata-%2300ab44" />
+
+## Setup
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+####
+
+- First [install](https://github.com/googleapis/google-cloud-cpp/) install Google Cloud Platform C++ Client Libraries
+- Pub/Sub support is also dependent on the dependencies of those libraries, like `protobuf`, `protoc`, and `grpc`
+- Next, Netdata should be re-installed from the source. The installer will detect that the required libraries are now available.
+
+
+
+### Configuration
+
+#### File
+
+The configuration file name for this integration is `exporting.conf`.
+
+
+You can edit the configuration file using the `edit-config` script from the
+Netdata [config directory](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/configure/nodes.md#the-netdata-config-directory).
+
+```bash
+cd /etc/netdata 2>/dev/null || cd /opt/netdata/etc/netdata
+sudo ./edit-config exporting.conf
+```
+#### Options
+
+The following options can be defined for this exporter.
+
+
+<details><summary>Config options</summary>
+
+| Name | Description | Default | Required |
+|:----|:-----------|:-------|:--------:|
+| enabled | Enables or disables an exporting connector instance (yes/no). | no | yes |
+| destination | Accepts a space separated list of hostnames, IPs (IPv4 and IPv6) and ports to connect to. Netdata will use the first available to send the metrics. | pubsub.googleapis.com | yes |
+| username | Username for HTTP authentication | my_username | no |
+| password | Password for HTTP authentication | my_password | no |
+| data source | Selects the kind of data that will be sent to the external database. (as collected/average/sum) | | no |
+| hostname | The hostname to be used for sending data to the external database server. | [global].hostname | no |
+| prefix | The prefix to add to all metrics. | Netdata | no |
+| update every | Frequency of sending sending data to the external database, in seconds. | 10 | no |
+| buffer on failures | The number of iterations (`update every` seconds) to buffer data, when the external database server is not available. | 10 | no |
+| timeout ms | The timeout in milliseconds to wait for the external database server to process the data. | 2 * update_every * 1000 | no |
+| send hosts matching | Hosts filter. Determines which hosts will be sent to the external database. The syntax is [simple patterns](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/tree/master/libnetdata/simple_pattern#simple-patterns). | localhost * | no |

+
+##### destination
+
+The format of each item in this list, is: [PROTOCOL:]IP[:PORT].
+- PROTOCOL can be udp or tcp. tcp is the default and only supported by the current exporting engine.
+- IP can be XX.XX.XX.XX (IPv4), or [XX:XX...XX:XX] (IPv6). For IPv6 you can to enclose the IP in [] to separate it from the port.
+- PORT can be a number of a service name. If omitted, the default port for the exporting connector will be used.
+
+Example IPv4:
+ ```yaml
+ destination = pubsub.googleapis.com
+ ```
+When multiple servers are defined, Netdata will try the next one when the previous one fails.
+
+
+##### update every
+
+Netdata will add some randomness to this number, to prevent stressing the external server when many Netdata servers
+send data to the same database. This randomness does not affect the quality of the data, only the time they are sent.
+
+
+##### buffer on failures
+
+If the server fails to receive the data after that many failures, data loss on the connector instance is expected (Netdata will also log it).
+
+
+##### send hosts matching
+
+Includes one or more space separated patterns, using * as wildcard (any number of times within each pattern).
+The patterns are checked against the hostname (the localhost is always checked as localhost), allowing us to
+filter which hosts will be sent to the external database when this Netdata is a central Netdata aggregating multiple hosts.
+
+A pattern starting with `!` gives a negative match. So to match all hosts named `*db*` except hosts containing `*child*`,
+use `!*child* *db*` (so, the order is important: the first pattern matching the hostname will be used - positive or negative).
+
+
+##### send charts matching
+
+A pattern starting with ! gives a negative match. So to match all charts named apps.* except charts ending in *reads,
+use !*reads apps.* (so, the order is important: the first pattern matching the chart id or the chart name will be used,
+positive or negative). There is also a URL parameter filter that can be used while querying allmetrics. The URL parameter
+has a higher priority than the configuration option.
+
+
+##### send names instead of ids
+
+Netdata supports names and IDs for charts and dimensions. Usually IDs are unique identifiers as read by the system and names
+are human friendly labels (also unique). Most charts and metrics have the same ID and name, but in several cases they are
+different : disks with device-mapper, interrupts, QoS classes, statsd synthetic charts, etc.
+
+
+</details>
+
+#### Examples
+
+##### Basic configuration
+
+- Set the destination option to a Pub/Sub service endpoint. pubsub.googleapis.com is the default one.
+- Create the credentials JSON file by following Google Cloud's authentication guide.
+- The user running the Agent (typically netdata) needs read access to google_cloud_credentials.json, which you can set
+ `chmod 400 google_cloud_credentials.json; chown netdata google_cloud_credentials.json`
+- Set the credentials file option to the full path of the file.
+
+
+```yaml
+[pubsub:my_instance]
+ enabled = yes
+ destination = pubsub.googleapis.com
+ credentials file = /etc/netdata/google_cloud_credentials.json
+ project id = my_project
+ topic id = my_topic
