+==========
 
-You can export statistics to a ``Cassandra`` or ``Scylla`` server.
-The connection should be defined in the Glances configuration file as
-following:
+You can export statistics to a ``Prometheus`` server through an exporter.
+When the *--export-prometheus* is used, Glances creates a Prometheus exporter
+listening on <host:port> (define in the Glances configuration file).
 
 .. code-block:: ini
 
-    [cassandra]
+    [prometheus]
     host=localhost
-    port=9042
-    protocol_version=3
-    keyspace=glances
-    replication_factor=2
-    table=localhost
+    port=9091
+    prefix=glances
 
 and run Glances with:
 
 .. code-block:: console
 
-    $ glances --export-cassandra
+    $ glances --export-prometheus
 
-The data model is the following:
+You can check that Glances exports the stats using this URL: http://localhost:9091

+
+In order to store the metrics in a Prometheus server, you should add this
+exporter to your Prometheus server configuration with the following lines
+(in the prometheus.yml configuration file):
 
 .. code-block:: ini
 
-    CREATE TABLE <table> (plugin text, time timeuuid, stat map<text,float>, PRIMARY KEY (plugin, time))
+    scrape_configs:
+      - job_name: 'glances_exporter'
+        scrape_interval: 5s
+        static_configs:
+          - targets: ['localhost:9091']
 
-Only numerical stats are stored in the Cassandra table. All the stats
-are converted to float. If a stat cannot be converted to float, it is
-not stored in the database.
