# PostgreSQL Input Plugin
The `postgresql` plugin provides metrics for your PostgreSQL Server instance.
Recorded metrics are lightweight and use Dynamic Management Views supplied
by PostgreSQL.
## Global configuration options <!-- @/docs/includes/plugin_config.md -->
In addition to the plugin-specific configuration settings, plugins support
additional global and plugin configuration settings. These settings are used to
modify metrics, tags, and field or create aliases and configure ordering, etc.
See the [CONFIGURATION.md][CONFIGURATION.md] for more details.
[CONFIGURATION.md]: ../../../docs/CONFIGURATION.md#plugins
## Secret-store support
This plugin supports secrets from secret-stores for the `address` option.
See the [secret-store documentation][SECRETSTORE] for more details on how
to use them.
[SECRETSTORE]: ../../../docs/CONFIGURATION.md#secret-store-secrets
## Configuration
```toml @sample.conf
# Read metrics from one or many postgresql servers
[[inputs.postgresql]]
## Specify address via a url matching:
## postgres://[pqgotest[:password]]@localhost[/dbname]?sslmode=[disable|verify-ca|verify-full]&statement_timeout=...
## or a simple string:
## host=localhost user=pqgotest password=... sslmode=... dbname=app_production
## Users can pass the path to the socket as the host value to use a socket
## connection (e.g. `/var/run/postgresql`).
##
## All connection parameters are optional.
##
## Without the dbname parameter, the driver will default to a database
## with the same name as the user. This dbname is just for instantiating a
## connection with the server and doesn't restrict the databases we are trying
## to grab metrics for.
##
address = "host=localhost user=postgres sslmode=disable"
## A custom name for the database that will be used as the "server" tag in the
## measurement output. If not specified, a default one generated from
## the connection address is used.
# outputaddress = "db01"
## connection configuration.
## maxlifetime - specify the maximum lifetime of a connection.
## default is forever (0s)
##
## Note that this does not interrupt queries, the lifetime will not be enforced
## whilst a query is running
# max_lifetime = "0s"
## A list of databases to explicitly ignore. If not specified, metrics for all
## databases are gathered. Do NOT use with the 'databases' option.
# ignored_databases = ["postgres", "template0", "template1"]
## A list of databases to pull metrics about. If not specified, metrics for all
## databases are gathered. Do NOT use with the 'ignored_databases' option.
# databases = ["app_production", "testing"]
## Whether to use prepared statements when connecting to the database.
## This should be set to false when connecting through a PgBouncer instance
## with pool_mode set to transaction.
prepared_statements = true
```
Specify address via a postgresql connection string:
```text
host=localhost port=5432 user=telegraf database=telegraf
```
Or via an url matching:
```text
postgres://[pqgotest[:password]]@host:port[/dbname]?sslmode=[disable|verify-ca|verify-full]
```
Users can pass the path to the socket as the host value to use a socket
connection (e.g. `/var/run/postgresql`).
It is also possible to specify a query timeout maximum execution time (in ms)
for any individual statement passed over the connection
```text
postgres://[pqgotest[:password]]@host:port[/dbname]?sslmode=[disable|verify-ca|verify-full]&statement_timeout=10000
```
All connection parameters are optional. Without the dbname parameter, the driver
will default to a database with the same name as the user. This dbname is just
for instantiating a connection with the server and doesn't restrict the
databases we are trying to grab metrics for.
A list of databases to explicitly ignore. If not specified, metrics for all
databases are gathered. Do NOT use with the 'databases' option.
```text
ignored_databases = ["postgres", "template0", "template1"]`
```
A list of databases to pull metrics about. If not specified, metrics for all
databases are gathered. Do NOT use with the 'ignored_databases' option.
```text
databases = ["app_production", "testing"]`
```
### Permissions
The plugins gathers metrics from the `pg_stat_database` and `pg_stat_bgwriter`
views. To grant a user access to the views run:
```sql
GRANT pg_read_all_stats TO user;
```
See the [PostgreSQL docs][] for more information on the predefined roles.
[PostgreSQL docs]: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/predefined-roles.html
### TLS Configuration
Add the `sslkey`, `sslcert` and `sslrootcert` options to your DSN:
```shell
host=localhost user=pgotest dbname=app_production sslmode=require sslkey=/etc/telegraf/key.pem sslcert=/etc/telegraf/cert.pem sslrootcert=/etc/telegraf/ca.pem
```
## Metrics
This postgresql plugin provides metrics for your postgres database. It currently
works with postgres versions 8.1+. It uses data from the built in
_pg_stat_database_ and pg_stat_bgwriter views. The metrics recorded depend on
your version of postgres. See table:
```sh
pg version 9.2+ 9.1 8.3-9.0 8.1-8.2 7.4-8.0(unsupported)
--- --- --- ------- ------- -------
datid x x x x
datname x x x x
numbackends x x x x x
xact_commit x x x x x
xact_rollback x x x x x
blks_read x x x x x
blks_hit x x x x x
tup_returned x x x
tup_fetched x x x
tup_inserted x x x
tup_updated x x x
tup_deleted x x x
conflicts x x
temp_files x
temp_bytes x
deadlocks x
blk_read_time x
blk_write_time x
stats_reset* x x
```
_* value ignored and therefore not recorded._
More information about the meaning of these metrics can be found in the
[PostgreSQL Documentation][1].
