# Digital Ocean
This integration automatically imports infrastructure metrics from your DigitalOcean account, allowing you to visualize, alert on, and monitor your DO resources.
### 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.
If you don't already have a Hosted Graphite account, you can start a 14-day free trial [here](https://www.hostedgraphite.com/accounts/signup/).
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.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.
## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:
```
GET https://docs.hostedgraphite.com/add-ons-and-integrations-guide/digital-ocean.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.
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.
