PostgreSQL plugin

This postgresql plugin provides metrics for your postgres database. It currently works with postgres versions 8.1+. It uses data from the built in pg_stat_database and pg_stat_bgwriter views. The metrics recorded depend on your version of postgres. See table:

pg version      9.2+   9.1   8.3-9.0   8.1-8.2   7.4-8.0(unsupported)

Configuration

Specify address via a postgresql connection string:

host=localhost port=5432 user=telegraf database=telegraf

Or via an url matching:

postgres://[pqgotest[:password]]@host:port[/dbname]?sslmode=[disable|verify-ca|verify-full]

All connection parameters are optional. Without the dbname parameter, the driver will default to a database with the same name as the user. This dbname is just for instantiating a connection with the server and doesn't restrict the databases we are trying to grab metrics for.

A list of databases to explicitly ignore. If not specified, metrics for all databases are gathered. Do NOT use with the 'databases' option.

ignored_databases = ["postgres", "template0", "template1"]

A list of databases to pull metrics about. If not specified, metrics for all databases are gathered. Do NOT use with the 'ignored_databases' option.

databases = ["app_production", "testing"]

TLS Configuration

Add the sslkey, sslcert and sslrootcert options to your DSN:

host=localhost user=pgotest dbname=app_production sslmode=require sslkey=/etc/telegraf/key.pem sslcert=/etc/telegraf/cert.pem sslrootcert=/etc/telegraf/ca.pem

Configuration example

[[inputs.postgresql]]
  address = "postgres://telegraf@localhost/someDB"
  ignored_databases = ["template0", "template1"]
