+# OpenCensus SignalFx Stats Exporter
+
+The _OpenCensus SignalFx Stats Exporter_ is a stats exporter that
+exports data to [SignalFx](https://signalfx.com), a real-time monitoring
+solution for cloud and distributed applications. SignalFx ingests that
+data and offers various visualizations on charts, dashboards and service
+maps, as well as real-time anomaly detection.
+
+## Quickstart
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+To use this exporter, you must have a [SignalFx](https://signalfx.com)
+account and corresponding [data ingest
+token](https://docs.signalfx.com/en/latest/admin-guide/tokens.html).
+
+#### Java versions
+
+This exporter requires Java 7 or above.
+
+### Add the dependencies to your project
+
+For Maven add to your `pom.xml`:
+
+```xml
+<dependencies>
+  <dependency>
+    <groupId>io.opencensus</groupId>
+    <artifactId>opencensus-api</artifactId>
+    <version>0.16.1</version>
+  </dependency>
+  <dependency>
+    <groupId>io.opencensus</groupId>
+    <artifactId>opencensus-exporter-stats-signalfx</artifactId>
+    <version>0.16.1</version>
+  </dependency>
+  <dependency>
+    <groupId>io.opencensus</groupId>
+    <artifactId>opencensus-impl</artifactId>
+    <version>0.16.1</version>
+    <scope>runtime</scope>
+  </dependency>
+</dependencies>
+```
+
+For Gradle add to your dependencies:
+
+```
+compile 'io.opencensus:opencensus-api:0.16.1'
+compile 'io.opencensus:opencensus-exporter-stats-signalfx:0.16.1'
+runtime 'io.opencensus:opencensus-impl:0.16.1'
+```
+
+### Register the exporter
+
+```java
+public class MyMainClass {
+  public static void main(String[] args) {
+    // SignalFx token is read from Java system properties.
+    // Stats will be reported every second by default.
+    SignalFxStatsExporter.create(SignalFxStatsConfiguration.builder().build());
+  }
+}
+```
+
+If you want to pass in the token yourself, or set a different reporting
+interval, use:
+
+```java
+// Use token "your_signalfx_token" and report every 5 seconds.
+SignalFxStatsExporter.create(
+    SignalFxStatsConfiguration.builder()
+        .setToken("your_signalfx_token")
+        .setExportInterval(Duration.create(5, 0))
+        .build());
+```
