    A PostgreSQL metric exporter for Prometheus

  • I’m setting up some monitoring for a PostgreSQL instance and came across two seemingly mature projects for Prometheus monitoring, those being postgres_exporter and pg_exporter . From the outside it looks like postgres_exporter is linked from the Prometheus pages, but has fewer recent updates, and pg_exporter has a smaller user base but a more active development community.
