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

+ enabled: true
+ list:
+ - name: 'enabled'
+ default_value: 'no'
+ description: 'Enables or disables an exporting connector instance (yes|no).'

+ - name: 'destination'
+ default_value: 'no'
+ description: '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.'
+ required: true
+ detailed_description: |
+ 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 (opentsdb = 4242).
+
+ Example IPv4:
+ ```yaml
+ destination = 10.11.14.2:4242 10.11.14.3:4242 10.11.14.4:4242
+ ```
+ 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.

+ Frequency of sending sending data to the external database, in seconds.
+ required: false
+ detailed_description: |
+ 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.

+ description: |
+ The number of iterations (`update every` seconds) to buffer data, when the external database server is not available.
+ required: false
+ detailed_description: |
+ 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).

+ Hosts filter. Determines which hosts will be sent to OpenTSDB. The syntax is [simple patterns](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/tree/master/libnetdata/simple_pattern#simple-patterns).
+ required: false
+ detailed_description: |
+ 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).
+ - name: 'send charts matching'
+ default_value: '*'
+ description: |
+ One or more space separated patterns (use * as wildcard) checked against both chart id and chart name.
+ required: false
+ detailed_description: |
+ 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.
+ - name: 'send names instead of ids'
+ default_value: ''
+ description: 'Controls the metric names Netdata should send to the external database (yes|no).'
+ required: false
+ detailed_description: |
+ 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.
