# PostgreSQL plugin
|
|
|
|
This postgresql plugin provides metrics for your postgres database. It has been designed to parse ithe sql queries in the plugin section of your telegraf.conf.
|
|
|
|
For now only two queries are specified and it's up to you to add more; some per query parameters have been added :
|
|
|
|
* The SQl query itself
|
|
* The minimum version supported (here in numeric display visible in pg_settings)
|
|
* A boolean to define if the query have to be run against some specific variables (defined in the databaes variable of the plugin section)
|
|
* The list of the column that have to be defined has tags
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
# specify address via a url matching:
|
|
# postgres://[pqgotest[:password]]@localhost[/dbname]?sslmode=[disable|verify-ca|verify-full]
|
|
# or a simple string:
|
|
# host=localhost user=pqotest password=... sslmode=... dbname=app_production
|
|
#
|
|
# 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.
|
|
#
|
|
address = "host=localhost user=postgres sslmode=disable"
|
|
# A list of databases to pull metrics about. If not specified, metrics for all
|
|
# databases are gathered.
|
|
# databases = ["app_production", "testing"]
|
|
#
|
|
# Define the toml config where the sql queries are stored
|
|
# New queries can be added, if the withdbname is set to true and there is no databases defined
|
|
# in the 'databases field', the sql query is ended by a 'is not null' in order to make the query
|
|
# succeed.
|
|
# Be careful that the sqlquery must contain the where clause with a part of the filtering, the plugin will
|
|
# add a 'IN (dbname list)' clause if the withdbname is set to true
|
|
# the tagvalue field is used to define custom tags (separated by comas)
|
|
#
|
|
# Structure :
|
|
# [[inputs.postgresql_extensible.query]]
|
|
# sqlquery string
|
|
# version string
|
|
# withdbname boolean
|
|
# tagvalue string (coma separated)
|
|
[[inputs.postgresql_extensible.query]]
|
|
sqlquery="SELECT * FROM pg_stat_database where datname"
|
|
version=901
|
|
withdbname=false
|
|
tagvalue=""
|
|
[[inputs.postgresql_extensible.query]]
|
|
sqlquery="SELECT * FROM pg_stat_bgwriter"
|
|
version=901
|
|
withdbname=false
|
|
tagvalue=""
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The system can be easily extended using homemade metrics collection tools or using postgreql extensions (pg_stat_statement, pg_proctab, powa...)
