-# Export metrics to Graphite providers
-
-You can use the Graphite connector for
-the [exporting engine](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/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.
-
-## Prerequisites
-
-You have already [installed Netdata](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/edit/master/packaging/installer/README.md) and 
-Graphite.
-
-## Configuration
-
-Begin by using `edit-config` to open the `exporting.conf` file.
-
-```bash
-cd /etc/netdata   # Replace this path with your Netdata config directory
-sudo ./edit-config exporting.conf
-```
-
-Enable the exporting engine by setting `enabled` to `yes` in the `[exporting:global]` section.
-
-```conf
-[exporting:global]
-    enabled = yes
-```
-
-Next, configure the connector. Find the `[graphite:my_graphite_instance]` example section and uncomment the line.
-Set the `destination` setting to `localhost:2003`. By default, the Docker image for Graphite listens on port `2003` for
-incoming metrics. If you installed Graphite a different way, you may need to change the port accordingly.
-
-```conf
-[graphite:netdata]
-    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`. You can set basic HTTP authentication credentials using
-
-```conf
-    username = my_username
-    password = my_password
-```
-
-The final result for a remote, secured host should be the following: 
-
-```conf
-[graphite:https:netdata]
-    enabled = yes
-    username = my_username
-    password = my_password
-    destination = remote_host_url: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 *
-```
-
-We'll not worry about the [rest of the settings](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/exporting/README.md#options)
- for now. Restart the Agent using `sudo systemctl restart netdata`, or the
-[appropriate method](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/configure/start-stop-restart.md) for your
-system, to spin up the exporting engine.
-
-## See and organize Netdata metrics in Graphite
-
-Head back to the Graphite interface again, then click on the **Dashboard** link to get started with Netdata's exported
-metrics. You can also navigate directly to `http://NODE/dashboard`.
-
-Let's switch the interface to help you understand which metrics Netdata is exporting to Graphite. Click on **Dashboard**
-and **Configure UI**, then choose the **Tree** option. Refresh your browser to change the UI.
-
-![Change the Graphite UI](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/1153921/83798697-77c63500-a659-11ea-8ed5-5e274953c871.png)
-
-You should now see a tree of available contexts, including one that matches the hostname of the Agent exporting metrics.
-In this example, the Agent's hostname is `arcturus`.
-
-Let's add some system CPU charts so you can monitor the long-term health of your system. Click through the tree to find
-**hostname → system → cpu** metrics, then click on the **user** context. A chart with metrics from that context appears
-in the dashboard. Add a few other system CPU charts to flesh things out.
-
-Next, let's combine one or two of these charts. Click and drag one chart onto the other, and wait until the green **Drop
-to merge** dialog appears. Release to merge the charts.
-
-![Merging charts in Graphite](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/1153921/83817628-1bbfd880-a67a-11ea-81bc-05efc639b6ce.png)
-
-Finally, save your dashboard. Click **Dashboard**, then **Save As**, then choose a name. Your dashboard is now saved.
-
-Of course, this is just the beginning of the customization you can do with Graphite. You can change the time range,
-share your dashboard with others, or use the composer to customize the size and appearance of specific charts. Learn
-more about adding, modifying, and combining graphs in 
-the [Graphite docs](https://graphite.readthedocs.io/en/latest/dashboard.html).
-
-## Monitor the exporting engine
-
-As soon as the exporting engine begins, Netdata begins reporting metrics about the system's health and performance.
-
-![Graphs for monitoring the exporting engine](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/1153921/83800787-e5c02b80-a65c-11ea-865a-c447d2ce4cbb.png)
-
-You can use these charts to verify that Netdata is properly exporting metrics to Graphite. You can even add these
-exporting charts to your Graphite dashboard!
-
-### Add exporting charts to Netdata Cloud
-
-You can also show these exporting engine metrics on Netdata Cloud. If you don't have an account already, 
-go [sign in](https://app.netdata.cloud) and get started for free.
-
-Add more metrics to a War Room's Nodes tab by clicking on the **Add metric** button, then typing `exporting` into the
-context field. Choose the exporting contexts you want to add, then click **Add**. You'll see these charts alongside any
-others you've customized in Netdata Cloud.

-
-## What's next
-
-What you do with your exported metrics is entirely up to you, but as you might have seen in the Graphite connector
-configuration block, there are many other ways to tweak and customize which metrics you export to Graphite and how
-often.
-
-For full details about each configuration option and what it does, see 
-the [exporting reference guide](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/exporting/README.md).

+
+## 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 | True |
+| 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 | True |
+| username | Username for HTTP authentication | my_username | False |
+| password | Password for HTTP authentication | my_password | False |
+| data source | Selects the kind of data that will be sent to the external database. (as collected/average/sum) |  | False |
+| hostname | The hostname to be used for sending data to the external database server. | [global].hostname | False |
+| prefix | The prefix to add to all metrics. | netdata | False |
+| update every | Frequency of sending sending data to the external database, in seconds. | 10 | False |
+| buffer on failures | The number of iterations (`update every` seconds) to buffer data, when the external database server is not available. | 10 | False |
+| timeout ms | The timeout in milliseconds to wait for the external database server to process the data. | 20000 | False |
+| 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 * | False |
+| send charts matching | One or more space separated patterns (use * as wildcard) checked against both chart id and chart name. | * | False |
+| send names instead of ids | Controls the metric names Netdata should send to the external database (yes/no). |  | False |
+| 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). |  | False |
+| send automatic labels | Controls if automatically created labels, like `_os_name` or `_architecture` should be sent to the external database (yes/no). |  | False |
+
+##### 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 *

+  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 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 Graphite connector for the exporting engine to archive your Netdata metrics to Graphite providers for long-term storage,
+further analysis, or correlation with data from other sources.

+
+## 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 | True |
+| 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 | True |
+| username | Username for HTTP authentication | my_username | False |
+| password | Password for HTTP authentication | my_password | False |
+| data source | Selects the kind of data that will be sent to the external database. (as collected/average/sum) |  | False |
+| hostname | The hostname to be used for sending data to the external database server. | [global].hostname | False |
+| prefix | The prefix to add to all metrics. | netdata | False |
+| update every | Frequency of sending sending data to the external database, in seconds. | 10 | False |
+| buffer on failures | The number of iterations (`update every` seconds) to buffer data, when the external database server is not available. | 10 | False |
+| timeout ms | The timeout in milliseconds to wait for the external database server to process the data. | 20000 | False |
+| 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 * | False |
+| send charts matching | One or more space separated patterns (use * as wildcard) checked against both chart id and chart name. | * | False |
+| send names instead of ids | Controls the metric names Netdata should send to the external database (yes/no). |  | False |
+| 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). |  | False |
+| send automatic labels | Controls if automatically created labels, like `_os_name` or `_architecture` should be sent to the external database (yes/no). |  | False |
+
+##### 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.
+

+
+
+##### send hosts 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).
+
+

+
+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.
