Hello @liamkelly15 ,

Thank you for the outreach!

That’s correct - the influxDB extension is current intended to gather metrics and allow them to be recorded within a time-series database. For more specifics on how this extension is implemented, and the configuration options for utilization, please check out our documentation here within our GitHub page : [GitHub - hivemq/hivemq-influxdb-extension: HiveMQ extension for transferring monitoring data to the time series database InfluxDB](https://github.com/hivemq/hivemq-influxdb-extension).

Let us know if this answers your questions, or if we can provide any further assistance!

Best,  
Aaron from the HiveMQ Team
