Starting with Proxmox VE 4.0, you can define external metric servers,
which will be sent various stats about your hosts, virtual machines and storages.
Currently supported are:
graphite (see http://graphiteapp.org )
influxdb (see https://www.influxdata.com/time-series-platform/influxdb/ )
The server definitions are saved in
 /etc/pve/status.cfg
Graphite server configuration
The definition of a server is:
graphite:
   server your-server
   port your-port
   path your-path
where your-port defaults to 2003
and your-path defaults to proxmox
Proxmox VE sends the data over udp, so the graphite server
has to be configured for this
Influxdb plugin configuration
The definition is:
influxdb:
   server your-server
   port your-port
Proxmox VE sends the data over udp, so the influxdb server
has to be configured for this
Here is an example configuration for influxdb (on your influxdb server):
[[udp]]
  enabled = true
  bind-address = "0.0.0.0:8089"
  database = "proxmox"
  batch-size = 1000
  batch-timeout = "1s"
With this configuration, your server listens on all IP addresses on
port 8089, and writes the data in the proxmox database
