+Elasticsearch
+=============
+
+You can export statistics to an ``elasticsearch`` server. The connection
+should be defined in the Glances configuration file as following:
+
+.. code-block:: ini
+
+    [elasticsearch]
+    host=localhost
+    port=9200
+    index=glances
+
+and run Glances with:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+    $ glances --export-elasticsearch
+
+The stats are available through the elasticsearch API. For example, to
+get the CPU system stats:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+    $ curl http://172.17.0.2:9200/glances/cpu/system
+    {
+        "_index": "glances",
+        "_type": "cpu",
+        "_id": "system",
+        "_version": 28,
+        "found": true,"
+        _source": {
+            "timestamp": "2016-02-04T14:11:02.362232",
+            "value": "2.2"
+        }
+    }
