External Metric Server
----------------------
ifdef::wiki[]
:pve-toplevel:
endif::wiki[]

Starting with {pve} 4.0, you can define external metric servers,
which will be sent various stats about your hosts, virtual machines and storages.

Currently supported are:

 * graphite (see http://graphiteapp.org )
 * influxdb (see https://www.influxdata.com/time-series-platform/influxdb/ )

The server definitions are saved in
 /etc/pve/status.cfg

Graphite server configuration
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The definition of a server is:

 graphite:
    server your-server
    port your-port
    path your-path

where your-port defaults to *2003*
and your-path defaults to *proxmox*

{pve} sends the data over udp, so the graphite server
has to be configured for this

Influxdb plugin configuration
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The definition is:

 influxdb:
    server your-server
    port your-port

{pve} sends the data over udp, so the influxdb server
has to be configured for this

Here is an example configuration for influxdb (on your influxdb server):

 [[udp]]
   enabled = true
   bind-address = "0.0.0.0:8089"
   database = "proxmox"
   batch-size = 1000
   batch-timeout = "1s"

With this configuration, your server listens on all IP addresses on
port 8089, and writes the data in the *proxmox* database
