Monitoring

How PostgreSQL monitoring works, and how to monitor remote (existing) PostgreSQL instances?

Overview

Pigsty uses the modern observability stack for PostgreSQL monitoring:

  • Grafana for metrics visualization and PostgreSQL datasource.
  • Prometheus for PostgreSQL / Pgbouncer / Patroni / HAProxy / Node metrics
  • Loki for PostgreSQL / Pgbouncer / Patroni / pgBackRest logs
  • Battery-Include dashboards for PostgreSQL and everything else

Metrics

PostgreSQL’s metrics are defined by collector files: pg_exporter.yml. Prometheus record rules and alert evaluation will further process it: files/prometheus/rules/pgsql.yml

There are three identity labels: cls, ins, ip, which will be attached to all metrics & logs. node & haproxy will try to reuse the same identity to provide consistent metrics & logs.

{ cls: pg-meta, ins: pg-meta-1, ip: 10.10.10.10 }
{ cls: pg-meta, ins: pg-test-1, ip: 10.10.10.11 }
{ cls: pg-meta, ins: pg-test-2, ip: 10.10.10.12 }
{ cls: pg-meta, ins: pg-test-3, ip: 10.10.10.13 }

Logs

PostgreSQL-related logs are collected by promtail and sent to Loki on infra nodes by default.

Targets

Prometheus monitoring targets are defined in static files under /etc/prometheus/targets/pgsql/. Each instance will have a corresponding file. Take pg-meta-1 as an example:

# pg-meta-1 [primary] @ 10.10.10.10
- labels: { cls: pg-meta, ins: pg-meta-1, ip: 10.10.10.10 }
  targets:
    - 10.10.10.10:9630    # <--- pg_exporter for PostgreSQL metrics
    - 10.10.10.10:9631    # <--- pg_exporter for Pgbouncer metrics
    - 10.10.10.10:8008    # <--- patroni metrics

When the global flag patroni_ssl_enabled is set, the patroni target will be managed as /etc/prometheus/targets/patroni/<ins>.yml because it requires a different scrape endpoint (https).

Prometheus monitoring target will be removed when a cluster is removed by bin/pgsql-rm or pgsql-rm.yml. You can use playbook subtasks, or remove them manually:

bin/pgmon-rm <ins>      # remove prometheus targets from all infra nodes

Remote RDS targets are managed as /etc/prometheus/targets/pgrds/<cls>.yml. It will be created by the pgsql-monitor.yml playbook or bin/pgmon-add script.

Monitor Existing Cluster

Suppose the target DB node can be managed by Pigsty (accessible via ssh and sudo is available). In that case, you can use the pg_exporter task in the pgsql.yml playbook to deploy the monitoring component PG Exporter on the target node in the same manner as a standard deployment.

You can also deploy the connection pool and its monitoring on existing instance nodes using the pgbouncer and pgbouncer_exporter tasks from the same playbook. Additionally, you can deploy host monitoring, load balancing, and log collection components using the node_exporter, haproxy, and promtail tasks from the node.yml playbook, achieving a similar user experience with the native Pigsty cluster.

The definition method for existing clusters is very similar to the normal clusters managed by Pigsty. Selectively run certain tasks from the pgsql.yml playbook instead of running the entire playbook.

./node.yml  -l <cls> -t node_repo,node_pkg           # Add YUM sources for INFRA nodes on host nodes and install packages.
./node.yml  -l <cls> -t node_exporter,node_register  # Configure host monitoring and add to Prometheus.
./node.yml  -l <cls> -t promtail                     # Configure host log collection and send to Loki.
./pgsql.yml -l <cls> -t pg_exporter,pg_register      # Configure PostgreSQL monitoring and register with Prometheus/Grafana.

Since the target database cluster already exists, you must manually setup monitoring users, schemas, and extensions on the target database cluster.


Monitor RDS

If you can only access the target database via PGURL (database connection string), you can refer to the instructions here for configuration. In this mode, Pigsty deploys the corresponding PG Exporter on the INFRA node to fetch metrics from the remote database, as shown below:

------ infra ------
|                 |
|   prometheus    |            v---- pg-foo-1 ----v
|       ^         |  metrics   |         ^        |
|   pg_exporter <-|------------|----  postgres    |
|   (port: 20001) |            | 10.10.10.10:5432 |
|       ^         |            ^------------------^
|       ^         |                      ^
|       ^         |            v---- pg-foo-2 ----v
|       ^         |  metrics   |         ^        |
|   pg_exporter <-|------------|----  postgres    |
|   (port: 20002) |            | 10.10.10.11:5433 |
-------------------            ^------------------^

The monitoring system will no longer have host/pooler/load balancer metrics. But the PostgreSQL metrics & catalog info are still available. Pigsty has two dedicated dashboards for that: PGRDS Cluster and PGRDS Instance. Overview and Database level dashboards are reused. Since Pigsty cannot manage your RDS, you have to setup monitor on the target database in advance.

Below, we use a sandbox environment as an example: now we assume that the pg-meta cluster is an RDS instance pg-foo-1 to be monitored, and the pg-test cluster is an RDS cluster pg-bar to be monitored:

  1. Create monitoring schemas, users, and permissions on the target. Refer to Monitoring Object Configuration for details.

  2. Declare the cluster in the configuration list. For example, suppose we want to monitor the “remote” pg-meta & pg-test clusters:

    infra:            # Infra cluster for proxies, monitoring, alerts, etc.
      hosts: { 10.10.10.10: { infra_seq: 1 } }
      vars:           # Install pg_exporter on 'infra' group for remote postgres RDS
        pg_exporters: # List all remote instances here, assign a unique unused local port for k
          20001: { pg_cluster: pg-foo, pg_seq: 1, pg_host: 10.10.10.10 , pg_databases: [{ name: meta }] } # Register meta database as Grafana data source
    
          20002: { pg_cluster: pg-bar, pg_seq: 1, pg_host: 10.10.10.11 , pg_port: 5432 } # Several different connection string concatenation methods
          20003: { pg_cluster: pg-bar, pg_seq: 2, pg_host: 10.10.10.12 , pg_exporter_url: 'postgres://dbuser_monitor:DBUser.Monitor@10.10.10.12:5432/postgres?sslmode=disable'}
          20004: { pg_cluster: pg-bar, pg_seq: 3, pg_host: 10.10.10.13 , pg_monitor_username: dbuser_monitor, pg_monitor_password: DBUser.Monitor }
    

    The databases listed in the pg_databases field will be registered in Grafana as a PostgreSQL data source, providing data support for the PGCAT monitoring panel. If you don’t want to use PGCAT and register the database in Grafana, set pg_databases to an empty array or leave it blank.

  3. Execute the command to add monitoring: bin/pgmon-add <clsname>

    bin/pgmon-add pg-foo  # Bring the pg-foo cluster into monitoring
    bin/pgmon-add pg-bar  # Bring the pg-bar cluster into monitoring
    
  4. To remove a remote cluster from monitoring, use bin/pgmon-rm <clsname>

    bin/pgmon-rm pg-foo  # Remove pg-foo from Pigsty monitoring
    bin/pgmon-rm pg-bar  # Remove pg-bar from Pigsty monitoring
    

You can use more parameters to override the default pg_exporter options. Here is an example for monitoring Aliyun RDS and PolarDB with Pigsty:

Example: Monitor Aliyun RDS PG & PolarDB

Check remote.yml config for details.

infra:            # infra cluster for proxy, monitor, alert, etc..
  hosts: { 10.10.10.10: { infra_seq: 1 } }
  vars:           # install pg_exporter for remote postgres RDS on a group 'infra'
    pg_exporters: # list all remote instances here, alloc a unique unused local port as k
      20001: { pg_cluster: pg-foo, pg_seq: 1, pg_host: 10.10.10.10 }
      20002: { pg_cluster: pg-bar, pg_seq: 1, pg_host: 10.10.10.11 , pg_port: 5432 }
      20003: { pg_cluster: pg-bar, pg_seq: 2, pg_host: 10.10.10.12 , pg_exporter_url: 'postgres://dbuser_monitor:DBUser.Monitor@10.10.10.12:5432/postgres?sslmode=disable'}
      20004: { pg_cluster: pg-bar, pg_seq: 3, pg_host: 10.10.10.13 , pg_monitor_username: dbuser_monitor, pg_monitor_password: DBUser.Monitor }

Monitor Setup

When you want to monitor existing instances, whether it’s RDS or a self-built PostgreSQL instance, you need to make some configurations on the target database so that Pigsty can access them.

To bring an external existing PostgreSQL instance into monitoring, you need a connection string that can access that instance/cluster. Any accessible connection string (business user, superuser) can be used, but we recommend using a dedicated monitoring user to avoid permission leaks.

  • Monitor User: The default username used is dbuser_monitor. This user belongs to the pg_monitor group, or ensure it has the necessary view permissions.
  • Monitor HBA: Default password is DBUser.Monitor. You need to ensure that the HBA policy allows the monitoring user to access the database from the infra nodes.
  • Monitor Schema: It’s optional but recommended to create a dedicate schema monitor for monitoring views and extensions.
  • Monitor Extension:It is strongly recommended to enable the built-in extension pg_stat_statements.
  • Monitor View: Monitoring views are optional but can provide additional metrics. Which is recommended.

Monitor User

Create a monitor user on the target database cluster. For example, dbuser_monitor is used by default in Pigsty.

CREATE USER dbuser_monitor;                                       -- create the monitor user
COMMENT ON ROLE dbuser_monitor IS 'system monitor user';          -- comment the monitor user
GRANT pg_monitor TO dbuser_monitor;                               -- grant system role pg_monitor to monitor user

ALTER USER dbuser_monitor PASSWORD 'DBUser.Monitor';              -- set password for monitor user
ALTER USER dbuser_monitor SET log_min_duration_statement = 1000;  -- set this to avoid log flooding
ALTER USER dbuser_monitor SET search_path = monitor,public;       -- set this to avoid pg_stat_statements extension not working

The monitor user here should have consistent pg_monitor_username and pg_monitor_password with Pigsty config inventory.


Monitor HBA

You also need to configure pg_hba.conf to allow monitoring user access from infra/admin nodes.

# allow local role monitor with password
local   all  dbuser_monitor                    md5
host    all  dbuser_monitor  127.0.0.1/32      md5
host    all  dbuser_monitor  <admin_ip>/32     md5
host    all  dbuser_monitor  <infra_ip>/32     md5

If your RDS does not support the RAW HBA format, add admin/infra node IP to the whitelist.


Monitor Schema

Monitor schema is optional, but we strongly recommend creating one.

CREATE SCHEMA IF NOT EXISTS monitor;               -- create dedicate monitor schema
GRANT USAGE ON SCHEMA monitor TO dbuser_monitor;   -- allow monitor user to use this schema

Monitor Extension

Monitor extension is optional, but we strongly recommend enabling pg_stat_statements extension.

Note that this extension must be listed in shared_preload_libraries to take effect, and changing this parameter requires a database restart.

CREATE EXTENSION IF NOT EXISTS "pg_stat_statements" WITH SCHEMA "monitor";

You should create this extension inside the admin database: postgres. If your RDS does not grant CREATE on the database postgres. You can create that extension in the default public schema:

CREATE EXTENSION IF NOT EXISTS "pg_stat_statements";
ALTER USER dbuser_monitor SET search_path = monitor,public;

As long as your monitor user can access pg_stat_statements view without schema qualification, it should be fine.


Monitor View

It’s recommended to create the monitor views in all databases that need to be monitored.
