PostgreSQL HA Lite (Patroni + postgres_exporter)
Compact PostgreSQL high-availability dashboard: Patroni leader and replicas, leader lock, timeline changes (failovers), replication lag, connections vs max_connections, TPS, rollback ratio, longest open transaction and database size. Requires Patroni REST /metrics and postgres_exporter scraped by Prometheus. Free alert rules and Telegram routing: https://devkit-shop.pages.dev/free/
A compact high-availability view of a Patroni-managed PostgreSQL cluster. The top row answers the first questions during an incident: is there exactly one leader, how many replicas are attached, is the leader lock missing, did a failover (timeline change) happen in the last 24 hours, and is any instance down.
Below that: replication lag, connections against max_connections, transactions per second with the rollback ratio, the longest open transaction (orange from 5 minutes, red from 30 minutes) and database size, per database.
Variables: Patroni job, postgres_exporter job, instance and database. The data source is chosen at import time. Patroni and postgres_exporter usually have different instance labels (ports 8008 and 9187), so they use separate variables.
Requirements
- Grafana 10.0 or newer
- Prometheus scraping Patroni (REST API
/metrics, Patroni 2.1+:patroni_primary,patroni_replica,patroni_cluster_unlocked,patroni_postgres_timeline) and postgres_exporter (pg_up,pg_replication_lag_seconds,pg_stat_activity_count,pg_stat_activity_max_tx_duration,pg_settings_max_connections,pg_stat_database_*,pg_database_size_bytes)
