 ### Netdata
 
 You'll likely want to pare down what netdata is sending.  Here's an
-example configuration for `netdata.conf` -- season this to taste (what
+example configuration for `exporting.conf` -- season this to taste (what
 charts to send and frequency.)
 
+Note: This example uses the "exporting" module introduced in
+Netdata v1.23.  If your netdata is older than that, you'll be using
+the deprecated "backend" instead in the main `netdata.conf` file.
