+# OpenTSDB with HTTP
+
+Since version 1.16 the Netdata has the feature to communicate with OpenTSDB using HTTP API. To enable this channel
+it is necessary to set the following options in your netdata.conf
+
+```
+[backend]
+    type = opentsdb:http
+    destination = localhost:4242
+```
+
+, in this example we are considering that OpenTSDB is running with its default port (4242).
+
+## HTTPS
+
+Netdata also supports sending the metrics using SSL/TLS, but OpenTDSB does not have support to safety connections,
+so it will be necessary to configure a reverse-proxy to enable the HTTPS communication. After to configure your proxy the
+following changes must be done in the netdata.conf:
+
+```
+[backend]
+    type = opentsdb:https
+    destination = localhost:8082
+```
+
+In this example we used the port 8082 for our reverse proxy.
