# Digital Ocean

### Configuration

Hosted Graphite automatically imports metrics from your DigitalOcean account resources, including statistics for Apps, Databases, Autoscale Pools, Droplets, and Load Balancers.

If you don't already have a [DigitalOcean Personal Access Token](https://docs.digitalocean.com/reference/api/create-personal-access-token/), create one by navigating to API => Personal Access Tokens in the DigitalOcean Control Panel. Then open the DigitalOcean integration in Hosted Graphite, paste your token into the API Token field, and click Save Config.

Once the configuration has been saved, Hosted Graphite will begin collecting metrics from your supported DigitalOcean resources. Metrics are pulled from the DigitalOcean API every 10 minutes and are prefixed with: *digitalocean.\**

#### Tag Filtering (Optional)

If you only want to import metrics from specific resources, you can configure one or more DigitalOcean tags within the integration. This can help limit the total number of DO metrics stored with us.

When tag filtering is enabled, Hosted Graphite will only import metrics from resources that match the configured tags.

**NOTE**: DigitalOcean does not expose tags for Apps or Load Balancers, so tag filters are not applied to those resource types. When tag filtering is enabled, Apps and Load Balancers will still be imported, while Droplets, Databases, and Autoscale Pools are filtered by matching tags.

### Visualization

We have a pre-made DigitalOcean Overview dashboard that can be found in our [Dashboard Library](https://docs.hostedgraphite.com/dashboard-and-graphs/dashboard-library). Generate this dashboard with only 1 click, to quickly visualize your DO metrics.
