PG Exporter

Prometheus exporter for PostgreSQL Server & Pgbouncer metrics.

PG Exporter aims to bring the ultimate observability for Pigsty x PostgreSQL, which is a Free RDS PG Alternative and battery-included open-source PostgreSQL distribution: Demo & Gallery

PG Exporter is fully customizable, flexible, and extensible. It defines almost all metrics with declarative YAML configuration files. It's easy to add new metrics or modify existing ones. Much more that the prometheus community one.

The latest stable version is 0.6.1, which support PostgreSQL 10 ~ 16+ and Pgbouncer 1.8 ~ 1.21+.

Features

Support Pigsty, the battery-include PostgreSQL distribution with ultimate observability.
Support both Postgres & Pgbouncer (Pgbouncer is detected when target dbname is pgbouncer)
Flexible: Almost all metrics are defined in customizable conf files with SQL collector.
Schedule: Fine-grained execution control: Timeout, Cache, Skip, Fatality, etc...
Dynamic Planning: Define multiple branches for a collector. Install specific branch when server & exporter meet certain conditions.
Rich self-monitoring metrics about pg_exporter itself.
Auto-discovery multiple databases, and run database level collectors
Tested and verified in a real-world production environment for several years (10K+ cores)

Quick Start

To run this exporter, you will need two things:

Where to scrape: A Postgres or pgbouncer URL given via PG_EXPORTER_URL or --url.
What to scrape: A path to config file or directory, by default ./pg_exporter.yml or /etc/pg_exporter.yml

export PG_EXPORTER_URL='postgres://postgres:password@localhost:5432/postgres'
export PG_EXPORTER_CONFIG='/path/to/conf/file/or/dir'
pg_exporter

pg_exporter only built-in with 3 metrics: pg_up,pg_version , and pg_in_recovery. All other metrics are defined in configuration files. You could use the pre-defined configuration file: pg_exporter.yml or use separated metric query in conf dir.

Usage

Parameters could be given via command-line args or environment variables.

--web.listen-address is the web endpoint listen address, :9630 by default, this parameter can not be changed via environment variable.
--web.telemetry-path or PG_EXPORTER_TELEMETRY_PATH` is the URL path under which to expose metrics.
--url or PG_EXPORTER_URL defines where to scrape, it should be a valid DSN or URL. (note that sslmode=disable must be specifed explicitly for database that does not using SSL)
--config or PG_EXPORTER_CONFIG defines how to scrape. It could be a single YAML file or a directory containing a series of separated YAML configs, which config will be loaded in alphabetic order.
--label or PG_EXPORTER_LABEL defines constant labels that are added to all metrics. It should be a comma-separated list of label=value pairs.
--tag or PG_EXPORTER_TAG will mark this exporter with given tags. Tags are a comma-separated-value list of strings. which could be used for query filtering and execution control.
--disable-cache or PG_EXPORTER_DISABLE_CACHE will disable metric cache.
--auto-discovery or PG_EXPORTER_AUTO_DISCOVERY will automatically spawn peripheral servers for other databases in the target PostgreSQL server. except for those listed in --exclude-database. (Not implemented yet)
--exclude-database or PG_EXPORTER_EXCLUDE_DATABASE is a comma-separated list of the database name. Which are not scrapped when --auto-discovery is enabled
--namespace or PG_EXPORTER_NAMESPACE defined internal metrics prefix, by default pg|pgbouncer.
--fail-fast or PG_EXPORTER_FAIL_FAST is a flag. During start-up, pg_exporter will wait if the target is down. with --fail-fast=true, pg_exporter will fail instead of waiting on the start-up procedure if the target is down
--connect-timeout or PG_EXPORTER_CONNECT_TIMEOUT is the timeout for connecting to the target.
--dry-run will print configuration files
--explain will actually connect to the target server and plan queries for it. Then explain which queries are installed.
--log.level will set logging level: one of debug, info, warn, error.

Build

Build on your local machine:

go build

To build a static stand-alone binary for docker scratch

CGO_ENABLED=0 GOOS=linux go build -a -ldflags '-extldflags "-static"' -o pg_exporter

To build a docker image, use:

make docker

Or download the latest prebuilt binaries from release pages.

Deployment

Redhat rpm and Debian/Ubuntu deb packages is made with nfpm.

/usr/bin/pg_exporter: the binary file。
/etc/default/pg_exporter: the envs & options
/etc/pg_exporter.yml: the config file

Configuration

Configs lie in the core of pg_exporter. Actually, this project contains more lines of YAML than go.

A monolith battery-included config file: pg_exporter.yml
Separated metrics definition in config/collector
Example of how to write a config file: doc.yml

Current pg_exporter is shipped with the following metrics collector definition files

Note

Supported version: PostgreSQL 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16+

But you can still get PostgreSQL 9.4, 9.5, 9.6 support by switching to the older version collector definition

pg_exporter will generate approximately 200~300 metrics for a completely new database cluster. For a real-world database with 10 ~ 100 tables, it may generate several 1k ~ 10k metrics. You may need to modify or disable some database-level metrics on a database with several thousand or more tables in order to complete the scrape in time.

Config files are using YAML format, there are lots of examples in the conf dir. and here is a sample config.

#┣┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈
#┃ Cache can be used for reducing query overhead, it can be enabled by setting a non-zero value for `ttl`
#┃ It is highly recommended to use cache to avoid duplicate scrapes. Especially when you got multiple Prometheus
#┃ scraping the same instance with slow monitoring queries. Setting `ttl` to zero or leaving blank will disable
#┃ result caching, which is the default behavior
#┃
#┃ TTL has to be smaller than your scrape interval. 15s scrape interval and 10s TTL is a good start for
#┃ production environment. Some expensive monitoring queries (such as size/bloat check) will have longer `ttl`
#┃ which can also be used as a mechanism to achieve 'different scrape frequency'
#┣┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈
#┃ 6. Query Timeout
#┣┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈
#┃ Collectors can be configured with an optional Timeout. If the collector's query executes more than that
#┃ timeout, it will be canceled immediately. Setting the `timeout` to 0 or leaving blank will reset it to
#┃ default timeout 0.1 (100ms). Setting it to any negative number will disable the query timeout feature.
#┃ All queries have a default timeout of 100ms, if exceed, the query will be canceled immediately to avoid
#┃ avalanche. You can explicitly overwrite that option. but beware: in some extreme cases, if all your
#┃ timeout sum up greater your scrape/cache interval (usually 15s), the query may still be jammed.
#┃ or, you can just disable potential slow queries.
#┣┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈
#┃ 7. Version Compatibility
#┣┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈
#┃ Each collector has two optional version compatibility parameters: `min_version` and `max_version`.
#┃ These two parameters specify the version compatibility of the collector. If target postgres/pgbouncer
#┃ version is less than `min_version`, or higher than `max_version`, the collector will not be installed.
#┃ These two parameters are using PostgreSQL server version number format, which is a 6-digit integer
#┃ format as <major:2 digit><minor:2 digit>:<release: 2 digit>.
#┃ For example, 090600 stands for 9.6 and 120100 stands for 12.1
#┃ And beware that version compatibility range is left-inclusive right exclusive: [min, max), set to zero or
#┃ leaving blank will affect as -inf or +inf

#┃ 8. Fatality
#┣┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈
#┃ If a collector is marked with `fatal` falls, the entire scrape operation will be marked as fail and key metrics
#┃ `pg_up` / `pgbouncer_up` will be reset to 0. It is always a good practice to set up AT LEAST ONE fatal
#┃ collector for pg_exporter. `pg.pg_primary_only` and `pgbouncer_list` are the default fatal collector.
#┃
#┃ If a collector without `fatal` flag fails, it will increase global fail counters. But the scrape operation
#┃ will carry on. The entire scrape result will not be marked as faile, thus will not affect the `<xx>_up` metric.
#┣┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈

#┣┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈
#┃ Collector with `skip` flag set to true will NOT be installed.
#┃ This could be a handy option to disable collectors

#┃ 10. Tags and Planning
#┣┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈
#┃ Tags are designed for collector planning & schedule. It can be handy to customize which queries run
#┃ on which instances. And thus you can use one-single monolith config for multiple environments
#┃
#┃  Tags are a list of strings, each string could be:
#┃  Pre-defined special tags
#┃    * 'cluster' marks this collector as cluster level, so it will ONLY BE EXECUTED ONCE for the same PostgreSQL Server
#┃    * 'primary' or 'master' mark this collector as primary-only, so it WILL NOT work iff pg_is_in_recovery()
#┃    * 'standby' or 'replica' mark this collector as replica-only, so it WILL work iff pg_is_in_recovery()
#┃  Special tag prefix which have different interpretation:
#┃    * 'dbname:<dbname>' means this collector will ONLY work on database with name '<dbname>'
#┃    * 'username:<user>' means this collector will ONLY work when connect with user '<user>'
#┃    * 'extension:<extname>' means this collector will ONLY work when extension '<extname>' is installed
#┃    * 'schema:<nspname>' means this collector will only work when schema '<nspname>' exists
#┃  Customized positive tags (filter) and negative tags (taint)
#┃    * 'not:<negtag>' means this collector WILL NOT work when exporter is tagged with '<negtag>'
#┃    * '<tag>' means this query WILL work if exporter is tagged with '<tag>' (special tags not included)
#┃
#┃  pg_exporter will trigger the Planning procedure after connecting to the target. It will gather database facts
#┃  and match them with tags and other metadata (such as supported version range). Collector will only
#┃  be installed if and only if it is compatible with the target server.
