+# Export metrics to JSON document databases
+
+You can use the JSON connector for the [exporting engine](/exporting/README.md) to archive your agent's metrics to JSON
+document databases for long-term storage, further analysis, or correlation with data from other sources.
+
+## Configuration
+
+To enable data exporting to a JSON document database, run `./edit-config exporting.conf` in the Netdata configuration
+directory and set the following options:
+
+```conf
+[json:my_json_instance]
+    enabled = yes
+    destination = localhost:5448
+```
+
+Add `:http` or `:https` modifiers to the connector type if you need to use other than a plaintext protocol. For example: `json:http:my_json_instance`,
+`json:https:my_json_instance`.
+
+The JSON connector is further configurable using additional settings. See the [exporting reference
+doc](/exporting/README.md#options) for details.
