# 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)

More information about the meaning of these metrics can be found in the [PostgreSQL Documentation](http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.2/static/monitoring-stats.html#PG-STAT-DATABASE-VIEW)

|
## Configuration
|
|
Specify address via a url matching:
|
|
|
|
`postgres://[pqgotest[:password]]@localhost[/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"]`
|
|
|
|
### Configuration example
|
|
```
|
|
[[inputs.postgresql]]
|
|
address = "postgres://telegraf@localhost/someDB"
|
|
ignored_databases = ["template0", "template1"]
|
|
```
