# Exporting cAdvisor Stats to InfluxDB
cAdvisor supports exporting stats to [InfluxDB](http://influxdb.com). To use InfluxDB, you need to pass some additional flags to cAdvisor telling it where the InfluxDB instance is located:
Set the storage driver as InfluxDB.
```
-storage_driver=influxdb
```
Specify what InfluxDB instance to push data to:
```
# The *ip:port* of the database. Default is 'localhost:8086'
-storage_driver_host=ip:port
# database name. Uses db 'cadvisor' by default
-storage_driver_db
# database username. Default is 'root'
-storage_driver_user
# database password. Default is 'root'
-storage_driver_password
# Use secure connection with database. False by default
-storage_driver_secure
```
# Examples
