It's still work in progress. It has a +modular structure and supports metric exporting via multiple exporting connector instances at the same time. You can +have different update intervals and filters configured for every exporting connector instance. The exporting engine has +its own configuration file `exporting.conf`. Configuration is almost similar to [backends](../backends/#configuration). +The only difference is that the type of a connector should be specified in a section name before a colon and a name after +the colon. At the moment only four types of connectors are supported: `graphite`, `json`, `opentsdb`, `opentsdb:http`. + +An example configuration: +```conf +[exporting:global] +enabled = yes + +[graphite:my_instance1] +enabled = yes +destination = localhost:2003 +data source = sum +update every = 5 +send charts matching = system.load + +[json:my_instance2] +enabled = yes +destination = localhost:5448 +data source = as collected +update every = 2 +send charts matching = system.active_processes + +[opentsdb:my_instance3] +enabled = yes +destination = localhost:4242 +data source = sum +update every = 10 +send charts matching = system.cpu + +[opentsdb:http:my_instance4] +enabled = yes +destination = localhost:4243 +data source = average +update every = 3 +send charts matching = system.active_processes + +``` + +[](<>) |
