# 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
|
|
# retention policy. Default is '' which corresponds to the default retention policy of the influxdb database
|
|
-storage_driver_influxdb_retention_policy
|
|
```
|
|
|

[Brian Christner](https://www.brianchristner.io) wrote a detailed post on [setting up Docker monitoring](https://www.brianchristner.io/how-to-setup-docker-monitoring) with cAdvisor and Influxdb. A docker compose configuration for setting up cadvisor-influxdb-grafana can be found [here](https://github.com/dalekurt/docker-monitoring/blob/master/docker-compose.yml).
