# Export metrics to JSON document databases
You can use the JSON connector for the [exporting engine](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/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`. You can set basic HTTP authentication credentials using
```conf
username = my_username
password = my_password
```
The JSON connector is further configurable using additional settings. See
the [exporting reference doc](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/exporting/README.md#options) for details.
