+# Export metrics to Graphite providers
+
+You can use the Graphite connector for the [exporting engine](/exporting/README.md) to archive your agent's metrics to
+Graphite providers for long-term storage, further analysis, or correlation with data from other sources.
+
+## Configuration
+
+To enable data exporting to a Graphite database, run `./edit-config exporting.conf` in the Netdata configuration
+directory and set the following options:
+
+```conf
+[graphite:my_graphite_instance]
+    enabled = yes
+    destination = localhost:2003
+```
+
+Add `:http` or `:https` modifiers to the connector type if you need to use other than a plaintext protocol. For example: `graphite:http:my_graphite_instance`,
+`graphite:https:my_graphite_instance`.
+
+The Graphite connector is further configurable using additional settings. See the [exporting reference
+doc](/exporting/README.md#options) for details.
