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
