7 Starting with {pve} 4.0, you can define external metric servers, which will
8 be sent various stats about your hosts, virtual machines and storages.
10 Currently supported are:
12 * Graphite (see http://graphiteapp.org )
13 * InfluxDB (see https://www.influxdata.com/time-series-platform/influxdb/ )
15 The server definitions are saved in '/etc/pve/status.cfg'
17 Graphite server configuration
18 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
20 The definition of a server is:
29 where your-port defaults to *2003* and your-path defaults to *proxmox*
31 {pve} sends the data over UDP, so the graphite server has to be configured
34 Influxdb plugin configuration
35 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
45 {pve} sends the data over UDP, so the influxdb server has to be configured
48 Here is an example configuration for influxdb (on your influxdb server):
53 bind-address = "0.0.0.0:8089"
59 With this configuration, your server listens on all IP addresses on
60 port 8089, and writes the data in the *proxmox* database
62 Multiple Definitions and Example
63 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
65 The *id* is optional, but if you want to have multiple definitions of a single
66 type, then the ids must be defined and different from each other.
68 Here is an example of a finished status.cfg
