+# Introduction
+
+This is a quick start script that collects system metrics such as CPU and memory usage, and sends them to GreptimeCloud. The metrics endpoint uses InfluxDB line protocol.
+
+Use the following command to start it:
+
+```shell
+./quick-start.sh -h <host> -d <dbname> -u <username> -p <password>
+```
+
+## Release
+1. Update the version in `quick-start.sh`.
+2. Commit and push code
+3. Create a tag with the version and push it
+
+```shell
+git tag v<major>.<minor>.<patch>
+git push origin v<major>.<minor>.<patch>
+```
+5. Add release and upload the `quick-start.sh` file in the release page
+6. Update the download link of `quick-start.sh` in the [quick start docs](https://docs.greptime.com/greptimecloud/overview) of GreptimeCloud.
