This system uses a number of **connectors** to initiate connections to [more than +thirty](#supported-databases) supported databases, including InfluxDB, Prometheus, Graphite, ElasticSearch, and much +more. + +The exporting engine resamples Netdata's thousands of per-second metrics at a user-configurable interval, and can export +metrics to multiple time-series databases simultaneously. + +Based on your needs and resources you allocated to your external time-series database, you can configure the interval +that metrics are exported or export only certain charts with filtering. You can also choose whether metrics are exported +as-collected, a normalized average, or the sum/volume of metrics values over the configured interval. + +Exporting is an important part of Netdata's effort to be interoperable +with other monitoring software. You can use an external time-series database for long-term metrics retention, further +analysis, or correlation with other tools, such as application tracing. + +## Supported databases + +Netdata supports exporting metrics to the following databases through several +[connectors](/src/exporting/README.md#features). Once you find the connector that works for your database, open its +documentation and the [enabling a connector](/docs/exporting-metrics/enable-an-exporting-connector.md) doc for details on enabling it. + +- **AppOptics**: [Prometheus remote write](/src/exporting/prometheus/remote_write/README.md) +- **AWS Kinesis**: [AWS Kinesis Data Streams](/src/exporting/aws_kinesis/README.md) +- **Azure Data Explorer**: [Prometheus remote write](/src/exporting/prometheus/remote_write/README.md) +- **Azure Event Hubs**: [Prometheus remote write](/src/exporting/prometheus/remote_write/README.md) +- **Blueflood**: [Graphite](/src/exporting/graphite/README.md) +- **Chronix**: [Prometheus remote write](/src/exporting/prometheus/remote_write/README.md) +- **Cortex**: [Prometheus remote write](/src/exporting/prometheus/remote_write/README.md) +- **CrateDB**: [Prometheus remote write](/src/exporting/prometheus/remote_write/README.md) +- **ElasticSearch**: [Graphite](/src/exporting/graphite/README.md), [Prometheus remote + write](/src/exporting/prometheus/remote_write/README.md) +- **Gnocchi**: [Prometheus remote write](/src/exporting/prometheus/remote_write/README.md) +- **Google BigQuery**: [Prometheus remote write](/src/exporting/prometheus/remote_write/README.md) +- **Google Cloud Pub/Sub**: [Google Cloud Pub/Sub Service](/src/exporting/pubsub/README.md) +- **Graphite**: [Graphite](/src/exporting/graphite/README.md), [Prometheus remote + write](/src/exporting/prometheus/remote_write/README.md) +- **InfluxDB**: [Graphite](/src/exporting/graphite/README.md), [Prometheus remote + write](/src/exporting/prometheus/remote_write/README.md) +- **IRONdb**: [Prometheus remote write](/src/exporting/prometheus/remote_write/README.md) +- **JSON**: [JSON document databases](/src/exporting/json/README.md) +- **Kafka**: [Prometheus remote write](/src/exporting/prometheus/remote_write/README.md) +- **KairosDB**: [Graphite](/src/exporting/graphite/README.md), [OpenTSDB](/src/exporting/opentsdb/README.md) +- **M3DB**: [Prometheus remote write](/src/exporting/prometheus/remote_write/README.md) +- **MetricFire**: [Prometheus remote write](/src/exporting/prometheus/remote_write/README.md) +- **MongoDB**: [MongoDB](/src/exporting/mongodb/README.md) +- **New Relic**: [Prometheus remote write](/src/exporting/prometheus/remote_write/README.md) +- **OpenTSDB**: [OpenTSDB](/src/exporting/opentsdb/README.md), [Prometheus remote + write](/src/exporting/prometheus/remote_write/README.md) +- **PostgreSQL**: [Prometheus remote write](/src/exporting/prometheus/remote_write/README.md) + via [PostgreSQL Prometheus Adapter](https://github.com/CrunchyData/postgresql-prometheus-adapter) +- **Prometheus**: [Prometheus scraper](/src/exporting/prometheus/README.md) +- **TimescaleDB**: [Prometheus remote write](/src/exporting/prometheus/remote_write/README.md), + [netdata-timescale-relay](/src/exporting/TIMESCALE.md) +- **QuasarDB**: [Prometheus remote write](/src/exporting/prometheus/remote_write/README.md) +- **SignalFx**: [Prometheus remote write](/src/exporting/prometheus/remote_write/README.md) +- **Splunk**: [Prometheus remote write](/src/exporting/prometheus/remote_write/README.md) +- **TiKV**: [Prometheus remote write](/src/exporting/prometheus/remote_write/README.md) +- **Thanos**: [Prometheus remote write](/src/exporting/prometheus/remote_write/README.md) +- **VictoriaMetrics**: [Prometheus remote write](/src/exporting/prometheus/remote_write/README.md) +- **Wavefront**: [Prometheus remote write](/src/exporting/prometheus/remote_write/README.md) + +Can't find your preferred external time-series database?
