+## Metrics Server Configuration
+
+You can configure metric servers in Proxmox VE using the `pve_metric_servers` role variable. Below is an example configuration for different types of metric servers:
+
+```yaml
+pve_metric_servers:
+  - id: influxdb1
+    port: 8086
+    server: influxdb.example.com
+    type: influxdb
+    protocol: http
+    organization: myorg
+    bucket: mybucket
+    token: mytoken
+    timeout: 30
+    max_body_size: 25000000
+    verify_certificate: true
+  - id: graphite1
+    port: 2003
+    server: graphite.example.com
+    type: graphite
+    protocol: tcp
+    path: mygraphitepath
+    mtu: 1500
+```
+
+### Configuration Variables
+
+- `id`: (required) Unique identifier for the metric server.
+- `port`: (optional) Port of the metric server. Default is `8089`.
+- `server`: (required) DNS name or IP address of the metric server.
+- `type`: (optional) Type of metric server. Possible values: `influxdb`, `graphite`. Default is `influxdb`.
+- `protocol`: (optional) Protocol used to send metrics. Possible values: `udp`, `tcp`, `http`, `https`. Default is `udp`.
+- `disable`: (optional) Disable the metric server. Default is `false`.
+- `organization`: (optional) Organization name. Available only for influxdb with the http v2 API.
+- `bucket`: (optional) Bucket name for influxdb. Useful only with the http v2 API or compatible.
+- `token`: (optional) InfluxDB access token. Required only when using the http v2 API.
+- `path`: (optional) Graphite root path. Available only for graphite.
+- `api_path_prefix`: (optional) API path prefix inserted between `<host>:<port>/` and `/api2/`. Useful if the InfluxDB service is running behind a reverse proxy. Available only for influxdb with the http v2 API.
+- `timeout`: (optional) Timeout in seconds. Available only for influxdb with the http v2 API or Graphite TCP socket.
+- `max_body_size`: (optional) Maximum body size in bytes. Available only for influxdb with the http v2 API. Default is `25000000`.
