# aptible metric_drain:create:influxdb:customv2

This command lets you create a [Metric Drain](/docs/core-concepts/observability/metrics/metrics-drains/overview) to forward your container metrics to an InfluxDB v2 database hosted outside Aptible.

<Note>This command is for InfluxDB v2 destinations, which use organizations, buckets, and tokens for authentication. For InfluxDB v1 (which uses databases, usernames, and passwords), use [metric\_drain:create:influxdb:custom](/docs/reference/aptible-cli/cli-commands/cli-metric-drain-create-influxdb-custom).</Note>
