Enabling metrics and graphs for Postgres (optional)

Expanding on the metrics exposed by the synapse exporter and the node exporter, the playbook enables the postgres exporter that exposes more detailed information about what's happening on your postgres database.

You can enable this with the following settings in your configuration file (inventory/host_vars/matrix.<your-domain>/vars.yml):

prometheus_postgres_exporter_enabled: true

What does it do?

Name Description
prometheus_postgres_exporter_enabled Enable the postgres prometheus exporter. This sets up the docker container, connects it to the database and adds a 'job' to the prometheus config which tells prometheus about this new exporter. The default is 'false'
prometheus_postgres_exporter_database_username The 'username' for the user that the exporter uses to connect to the database. The default is 'matrix_prometheus_postgres_exporter'
prometheus_postgres_exporter_database_password The 'password' for the user that the exporter uses to connect to the database. By default, this is auto-generated by the playbook
matrix_prometheus_services_proxy_connect_prometheus_postgres_exporter_metrics_proxying_enabled If set to true, exposes the Postgres exporter metrics on https://matrix.DOMAIN/metrics/postgres-exporter for usage with an external Prometheus server (only takes effect if matrix_nginx_proxy_proxy_matrix_metrics_enabled: true)
