PostgreSQL Integration for Grafana Cloud
PostgreSQL is a free and open-source relational database management system (RDBMS) emphasizing extensibility and SQL compliance. This integration enables the agent to send metrics to Grafana Cloud along with a useful default dashboard for visualization.
Use the walkthrough in Grafana Cloud to install the PostgreSQL Integration, like in our Quickstart.
Post-install configuration for the PostgreSQL Integration
Make sure to change the data_source_names
to the addresses of the Postgres servers you want to monitor in the agent config:
integrations:
postgres_exporter:
enabled: true
data_source_names:
- "postgresql://linus:42secret@localhost:5432/postgres?sslmode=disable"
The example above assumes the database name is postgres
, the user linus
and the password 42secret
.
For a full description of configuration options, see postgres_exporter_config
in the Agent documentation.
