# PostgreSQL integration

The PostgreSQL integration provides **database performance monitoring** for queries, connections, replication, and vacuum.

|--------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------|
| **What it’s for**  | Monitoring queries, connections, replication, and vacuum/bloat health |
| **Under the hood** | Collects query, connection, replication, and vacuum metrics           |

## Metrics collected

The integration collects these metric groups for PostgreSQL:

- **Queries**: Active, waiting, duration
- **Connections**: Used, available, by state
- **Transactions**: Commits, rollbacks, conflicts
- **Replication**: Lag, slot status
- **Vacuum**: Dead tuples, autovacuum

## What to know

This integration offers:

- Prebuilt dashboards: PostgreSQL cluster overview, PostgreSQL instance overview, PostgreSQL logs, and PostgreSQL query performance
- 19 prebuilt alerts, including connections, replication, and vacuum
- Vacuum and dead tuple monitoring
- Buffer cache hit ratio insights
- Query waiting and lock detection
