To enable this channel, set the following options in your +`netdata.conf`: + +```conf +[backend] + type = opentsdb:http + destination = localhost:4242 +``` + +In this example, OpenTSDB is running with its default port, which is `4242`. If you run OpenTSDB on a different port, +change the `destination = localhost:4242` line accordingly. + +## HTTPS + +As of [v1.16.0](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/releases/tag/v1.16.0), Netdata can send metrics to OpenTSDB using +TLS/SSL. Unfortunately, OpenTDSB does not support encrypted connections, so you will have to configure a reverse proxy +to enable HTTPS communication between Netdata and OpenTSDB. You can set up a reverse proxy with +[Nginx](/docs/Running-behind-nginx.md). + +After your proxy is configured, make the following changes to `netdata.conf`: + +```conf +[backend] + type = opentsdb:https + destination = localhost:8082 +``` + +In this example, we used the port `8082` for our reverse proxy. If your reverse proxy listens on a different port, +change the `destination = localhost:8082` line accordingly. + +[]() |
