# Export metrics to external time-series databases
|
|
|
|
Netdata allows you to export metrics to external time-series databases with the [exporting
|
|
engine](/exporting/README.md). This system uses a number of **connectors** to initiate connections to [more than
|
|
thirty](#supported-databases) supported databases, including InfluxDB, Prometheus, Graphite, ElasticSearch, and much
|
|
more.
|
|
|
|
The exporting engine resamples Netdata's thousands of per-second metrics at a user-configurable interval, and can export
|
|
metrics to multiple time-series databases simultaneously.
|
|
|
|
Based on your needs and resources you allocated to your external time-series database, you can configure the interval
|
|
that metrics are exported or export only certain charts with filtering. You can also choose whether metrics are exported
|
|
as-collected, a normalized average, or the sum/volume of metrics values over the configured interval.
|
|
|
|
Exporting is an important part of Netdata's effort to be [interoperable](/docs/overview/netdata-monitoring-stack.md)
|
|
with other monitoring software. You can use an external time-series database for long-term metrics retention, further
|
|
analysis, or correlation with other tools, such as application tracing.
|
|
|
|
## Supported databases
|
|
|
|
Netdata supports exporting metrics to the following databases through several
|
|
[connectors](/exporting/README.md#features). Once you find the connector that works for your database, open its
|
|
documentation and the [enabling a connector](/docs/export/enable-connector.md) doc for details on enabling it.

## What's next?
|
|
|
|
We recommend you read our document on [enabling a connector](/docs/export/enable-connector.md) to learn about the
|
|
process and discover important configuration options. If you would rather skip ahead, click on any of the above links to
|
|
connectors for their reference documentation, which outline any prerequisites to install for that connector, along with
|
|
connector-specific configuration options.
|
|
|
|
Read about one possible use case for exporting metrics in our guide: [_Export and visualize Netdata metrics in
|
|
Graphite_](/docs/guides/export/export-netdata-metrics-graphite.md).
