16 Use the OpenTSDB connector for the exporting engine to archive your Netdata metrics to OpenTSDB databases for long-term storage,
17 further analysis, or correlation with data from other sources.

40 description: 'Accepts a space separated list of hostnames, IPs (IPv4 and IPv6) and ports to connect to. Netdata will use the first available to send the metrics.'
41 required: true
42 detailed_description: |
43 The format of each item in this list, is: [PROTOCOL:]IP[:PORT].
44 - PROTOCOL can be udp or tcp. tcp is the default and only supported by the current exporting engine.
45 - IP can be XX.XX.XX.XX (IPv4), or [XX:XX...XX:XX] (IPv6). For IPv6 you can to enclose the IP in [] to separate it from the port.
46 - PORT can be a number of a service name. If omitted, the default port for the exporting connector will be used (opentsdb = 4242).
47
48 Example IPv4:
49 ```yaml
50 destination = 10.11.14.2:4242 10.11.14.3:4242 10.11.14.4:4242
51 ```
52 Example IPv6 and IPv4 together:
53 ```yaml
54 destination = [ffff:...:0001]:2003 10.11.12.1:2003
55 ```
56 When multiple servers are defined, Netdata will try the next one when the previous one fails.

80 Frequency of sending sending data to the external database, in seconds.
81 required: false
82 detailed_description: |
83 Netdata will add some randomness to this number, to prevent stressing the external server when many Netdata servers
84 send data to the same database. This randomness does not affect the quality of the data, only the time they are sent.

88 The number of iterations (`update every` seconds) to buffer data, when the external database server is not available.

90 detailed_description: |
91 If the server fails to receive the data after that many failures, data loss on the connector instance is expected (Netdata will also log it).

98 description: |
99 Hosts filter. Determines which hosts will be sent to OpenTSDB. The syntax is [simple patterns](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/tree/master/src/libnetdata/simple_pattern#simple-patterns).
100 required: false
101 detailed_description: |
102 Includes one or more space separated patterns, using * as wildcard (any number of times within each pattern).
103 The patterns are checked against the hostname (the localhost is always checked as localhost), allowing us to
104 filter which hosts will be sent to the external database when this Netdata is a central Netdata aggregating multiple hosts.
105
106 A pattern starting with `!` gives a negative match. So to match all hosts named `*db*` except hosts containing `*child*`,
107 use `!*child* *db*` (so, the order is important: the first pattern matching the hostname will be used - positive or negative).
108 - name: 'send charts matching'
109 default_value: '*'
110 description: |
111 One or more space separated patterns (use * as wildcard) checked against both chart id and chart name.
112 required: false
113 detailed_description: |
114 A pattern starting with ! gives a negative match. So to match all charts named apps.* except charts ending in *reads,
115 use !*reads apps.* (so, the order is important: the first pattern matching the chart id or the chart name will be used,
116 positive or negative). There is also a URL parameter filter that can be used while querying allmetrics. The URL parameter
117 has a higher priority than the configuration option.

120 description: 'Controls the metric names Netdata should send to the external database (yes|no).'
121 required: false
122 detailed_description: |
123 Netdata supports names and IDs for charts and dimensions. Usually IDs are unique identifiers as read by the system and names
124 are human friendly labels (also unique). Most charts and metrics have the same ID and name, but in several cases they are
125 different : disks with device-mapper, interrupts, QoS classes, statsd synthetic charts, etc.
