 #### Timestamp precision
+
 When writing data to InfluxDB, we [recommend including a timestamp](/v2.0/reference/syntax/line-protocol/#timestamp) with each point.
 If a data point does not include a timestamp when it is received by the database,
 InfluxDB uses the current system time (UTC) of its host machine.

+### Third-party technologies
+
+Configure the following third-party technologies to write data to InfluxDB (**no download or install required**):
+
+- (Write metrics only) [Vector 0.9 or later](#configure-vector)
+
+- [Apache NiFi 1.8 or later](#configure-apache-nifi)
+
+- [OpenHAB 3.0 or later](#configure-openhab)
+
+- [Apache JMeter 5.2 or later](#configure-apache-jmeter)
+
+- [FluentD 1.x or later](#configure-fluentd)
+
+#### Configure Vector
+
+1. On the Vector.dev docs site, see the [InfluxDB Metrics Sink](https://vector.dev/docs/reference/sinks/influxdb_metrics/) page.
+2. Under **Configuration**, click **v2** to view configuration settings.
+3. Scroll down to [How It Works](https://vector.dev/docs/reference/sinks/influxdb_metrics/#how-it-works) for more detail.
