# Victoria Metrics

Victoria Metrics is an open-source, high-performance, and scalable time-series database and monitoring solution designed for handling large volumes of time-series data with a focus on efficiency and low resource consumption.

The integration between **Victoria Metrics** and **Togai** requires only a one-time setup. Follow the steps below:

## Install

* Navigate to the Integrations section from the left navigation bar in Togai
* Click on `Apps` to access the list of apps with integration support
* Select `Victoria Metrics` from the available apps
* Click on the `+Add connection` button
* Provide a name for the connection and paste your:
  * `Base URL`

### Base URL

* Obtain the network address of your Victoria Metrics instance. This is the address you use to access the Victoria Metrics server. It is usually in the format `http://<victoria-metrics-server-ip>:<victoria-metrics-service-port>`. For example, `http://localhost:8428` when running locally.
* Paste the network address in the `Base URL` field in Togai.

<Tip>
  In order to access the Victoria Metrics server from outside the local network, you need to expose the Victoria Metrics server port. You can use a tool like [ngrok](https://ngrok.com/) to expose the Victoria Metrics server port.

* The flow takes an array of queries:
  * `query`: The query to be executed on the Victoria Metrics server, usually the remaining part of the URL after the base URL.
  * `schemaKey`: The schema key to be used to map the data from Victoria Metrics to the Togai Event Schema.
  * `accountKey`: The account key to be used to map the data to corresponding Togai Accounts to which the data belongs to.
  * `attributeName`: The attribute name of a Togai Event Schema to which the queried data should be mapped to.
* The flow will ingest the data from Victoria Metrics as events into Togai.
