# PostgreSQL Server Exporter **(FREE SELF)**
|
|
|
|
The [PostgreSQL Server Exporter](https://github.com/prometheus-community/postgres_exporter) allows you to export various PostgreSQL metrics.
|
|
|
|
For installations from source you must install and configure it yourself.
|
|
|
|
To enable the PostgreSQL Server Exporter:
|
|
|
|
1. [Enable Prometheus](index.md#configuring-prometheus).
|
|
1. Edit `/etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb` and enable `postgres_exporter`:
|
|
|
|
```ruby
|
|
postgres_exporter['enable'] = true
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If PostgreSQL Server Exporter is configured on a separate node, make sure that the local
|
|
address is [listed in `trust_auth_cidr_addresses`](../../postgresql/replication_and_failover.md#network-information) or the
|
|
exporter can't connect to the database.
|
|
|
|
1. Save the file and [reconfigure GitLab](../../restart_gitlab.md#omnibus-gitlab-reconfigure) for the changes to
|
|
take effect.
|
|
|
|
Prometheus begins collecting performance data from
|
|
the PostgreSQL Server Exporter exposed under `localhost:9187`.
|
|
|
|
## Advanced configuration
|
|
|
|
In most cases, PostgreSQL Server Exporter works with the defaults and you should not
|
|
need to change anything. To further customize the PostgreSQL Server Exporter,
|
|
use the following configuration options:
|
|
|
|
1. Edit `/etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb`:
|
|
|
|
```ruby
|
|
# The name of the database to connect to.
|
|
postgres_exporter['dbname'] = 'pgbouncer'
|
|
# The user to sign in as.
|
|
postgres_exporter['user'] = 'gitlab-psql'
|
|
# The user's password.
|
|
postgres_exporter['password'] = ''
|
|
# The host to connect to. Values that start with '/' are for unix domain sockets
|
|
# (default is 'localhost').
|
|
postgres_exporter['host'] = 'localhost'
|
|
# The port to bind to (default is '5432').
|
|
postgres_exporter['port'] = 5432
|
|
# Whether or not to use SSL. Valid options are:
|
|
# 'disable' (no SSL),
|
|
# 'require' (always use SSL and skip verification, this is the default value),
|
|
# 'verify-ca' (always use SSL and verify that the certificate presented by
|
|
# the server was signed by a trusted CA),
|
|
# 'verify-full' (always use SSL and verify that the certification presented
|
|
# by the server was signed by a trusted CA and the server host name matches
|
|
# the one in the certificate).
|
|
postgres_exporter['sslmode'] = 'require'
|
|
# An application_name to fall back to if one isn't provided.
|
|
postgres_exporter['fallback_application_name'] = ''
|
|
# Maximum wait for connection, in seconds. Zero or not specified means wait indefinitely.
|
|
postgres_exporter['connect_timeout'] = ''
|
|
# Cert file location. The file must contain PEM encoded data.
|
|
postgres_exporter['sslcert'] = 'ssl.crt'
|
|
# Key file location. The file must contain PEM encoded data.
|
|
postgres_exporter['sslkey'] = 'ssl.key'
|
|
# The location of the root certificate file. The file must contain PEM encoded data.
|
|
postgres_exporter['sslrootcert'] = 'ssl-root.crt'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
1. Save the file and [reconfigure GitLab](../../restart_gitlab.md#omnibus-gitlab-reconfigure)
|
|
for the changes to take effect.
