Collection of self-managed PostgreSQL metrics

These settings are for the self-managed postgres deployments.

For the collector to scrape data from postgres, it requires a few things. Before continuing, complete the instructions in the Datadog documentation section on Setting Up Database Monitoring for self-hosted PostgreSQL.

  1. The PostgreSQL instance must be annotated:

    postgresql:
  primary:
    podAnnotations:
      ad.datadoghq.com/postgresql.check_names: '["postgres"]'
      ad.datadoghq.com/postgresql.init_configs: '[{}]'
      ad.datadoghq.com/postgresql.instances: '[{"host": "%%host%%", "port":5432, "username": "<user-you-created>", "password" : "<password-you-chose>", "tags" : []}]'
  readReplicas:
    podAnnotations:
      ad.datadoghq.com/postgresql.check_names: '["postgres"]'
      ad.datadoghq.com/postgresql.init_configs: '[{}]'
      ad.datadoghq.com/postgresql.instances: '[{"host": "%%host%%", "port":5432, "username": "<user-you-created>", "password" : "<password-you-chose>", "tags" : []}]'
    yaml

  2. After making the changes, restart PostgreSQL.
