# Send cAdvisor data into ATSD using HTTP

To send cAdvisor metrics into a remote ATSD server over HTTP or HTTPS protocol, create a collector account with restricted permissions in ATSD.

HTTPS requires either installation of a trusted SSL certificate by a certificate authority such as Let's Encrypt into ATSD or setting storage_driver_atsd_skip_verify option to true.

Replace {ATSD_HOSTNAME} placeholder with the hostname or IP address of the target ATSD server and specify collector account credentials in the command below.
