You can export [universe metrics](../anywhere-metrics/) to third-party tools for analysis and customization.

## Prerequisites

- The Metrics export feature is {{<tags/feature/ea idea="441">}}. To enable the feature in YugabyteDB Anywhere, set the **Enable Metrics Export** Global Configuration option (config key `yb.universe.metrics_export_enabled`) to true. Refer to [Manage runtime configuration settings](../../administer-yugabyte-platform/manage-runtime-config/). Note that only a Super Admin user can modify Global configuration settings. The flag can't be turned off if metrics export is enabled on a universe.

- Create an export configuration. A configuration defines the sign in credentials and settings for the tool that you want to export metrics to. Refer to [Manage export configurations](../anywhere-export-configuration/).

## Limitations

Metrics export is not available for Kubernetes universes.
