# 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, 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 tag filtering is currently supported for resource types that expose user-configurable tags, including Droplets and Managed Databases (MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB). App Platform applications, Load Balancers, and Autoscale Pools do not currently support user-configurable tags within DigitalOcean and are therefore not included when tag filtering is enabled.

### 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.

You can also [schedule a product demo here ](https://calendly.com/metricfire-sales/hostedgraphite-demo)to speak with a knowledgeable member of our team who can provide support and advice on getting up and running quickly.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.hostedgraphite.com/add-ons-and-integrations-guide/digital-ocean.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
