InfluxDB
========
You can export statistics to an ``InfluxDB`` server (time series server).
The connection should be defined in the Glances configuration file as
following:
.. code-block:: ini
[influxdb]
host=localhost
port=8086
protocol=http
user=root
password=root
db=glances
tags=foo:bar,spam:eggs
and run Glances with:
.. code-block:: console
$ glances --export influxdb
Glances generates a lot of columns, e.g., if you have many running
Docker containers, so you should use the ``tsm1`` engine in the InfluxDB
configuration file (no limit on columns number).
Note: if you want to use SSL, please set 'protocol=https'.
Grafana
-------
For Grafana users, Glances provides a dedicated `dashboard`_.

To use it, just import the file in your ``Grafana`` web interface.
