+Graphite/InfluxDB/Metronome
+---------------------------
+
+The ``graphite`` sends statistics over the Graphite_ protocol to either Graphite_, Metronome_, InfluxDB_ or any compatible storage. This allows powerful visualization over metrics collected by Knot Resolver.
+
+.. tip:: The Graphite server is challenging to get up and running, InfluxDB_ combined with Grafana_ are much easier, and provide richer set of options and available front-ends. Metronome_ by PowerDNS alternatively provides a mini-graphite server for much simpler setups.
+
+Example configuration:
+
+Only the ``host`` parameter is mandatory.
+
+By default the module uses UDP so it doesn't guarantee the delivery, set ``tcp = true`` to enable Graphite over TCP. If the TCP consumer goes down or the connection with Graphite is lost, resolver will periodically attempt to reconnect with it.
+
+.. code-block:: lua
+
+	modules = {
+		graphite = {
+			prefix = hostname() .. worker.id, -- optional metric prefix
+			host = '127.0.0.1',  -- graphite server address
+			port = 2003,         -- graphite server port
+			interval = 5 * sec,  -- publish interval
+			tcp = false          -- set to true if you want TCP mode
+		}
+	}
+
+The module supports sending data to multiple servers at once.
+
+.. code-block:: lua
+
+	modules = {
+		graphite = {
+			host = { '127.0.0.1', '1.2.3.4', '::1' },
+		}
+	}
