+.. _couchdb:
+
+MongoDB
+=======
+
+You can export statistics to a ``MongoDB`` server.
+The connection should be defined in the Glances configuration file as
+following:
+
+.. code-block:: ini
+
+    [couchdb]
+    host=localhost
+    port=
+    user=root
+    password=example
+    db=glances
+
+and run Glances with:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+    $ glances --export couchdb
+
+Documents are stored in native ``JSON`` format. Glances adds ``"type"``
+and ``"time"`` entries:
+
+- ``type``: plugin name
+- ``time``: timestamp  (format: "2016-09-24T16:39:08.524828Z")
+
+Example of Couch Document for the load stats:
+
+.. code-block:: json
+
+    {
+       "_id": "36cbbad81453c53ef08804cb2612d5b6",
+       "_rev": "1-382400899bec5615cabb99aa34df49fb",
+       "min15": 0.33,
+       "time": "2016-09-24T16:39:08.524828Z",
+       "min5": 0.4,
+       "cpucore": 4,
+       "load_warning": 1,
+       "min1": 0.5,
+       "history_size": 28800,
+       "load_critical": 5,
+       "type": "load",
+       "load_careful": 0.7
+    }
+
+You can view the result using the CouchDB utils URL: http://127.0.0.1:5984/_utils/database.html?glances.
