# Configure json\_exporter

## Configure json\_exporter

{% hint style="danger" %}
The instructions below will overwrite your current `json_exporter.yml` file with a version that supports the Stake Local Dashboard. A backup will be made of your existing file, but it is up to you to merge the two files, if necessary.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
This configuration requires json\_exporter v0.5.0 or later.
{% endhint %}

Back up your current `json_exporter.yml` file to your home directory, if you have one.

```bash
cp -v --backup=numbered /etc/json_exporter/json_exporter.yml ~/
```

```
