This page describes the Pigsty monitoring architecture, including metrics, logs, and target management.
It also explains how to [monitor existing PostgreSQL clusters](#monitor-existing-cluster) and remote [RDS services](#monitor-rds).


----------------

## Monitoring Overview

Pigsty uses these observability components for PostgreSQL monitoring:

- Grafana displays metrics and provides PostgreSQL data sources.
- VictoriaMetrics collects PostgreSQL, Pgbouncer, Patroni, HAProxy, and node metrics.
- VictoriaLogs stores PostgreSQL, Pgbouncer, Patroni, pgBackRest, and host component logs.
- Included Grafana dashboards cover all PostgreSQL operations. The set changes with each release. Use the live [demo](https://demo.pigsty.io/ui/) and this page's dashboard links.

**Metrics**

The pg_exporter configuration defines all PostgreSQL monitoring metrics: [`roles/pg_monitor/templates/pg_exporter.yml`](https://github.com/pgsty/pigsty/blob/main/roles/pg_monitor/templates/pg_exporter.yml).
VictoriaMetrics and vmalert recording and alerting rules process them further: [`files/victoria/rules/pgsql.yml`](https://github.com/pgsty/pigsty/blob/main/files/victoria/rules/pgsql.yml).

Pigsty attaches three identity labels to all metrics and logs: `cls`, `ins`, and `ip`.
It also uses metrics from Pgbouncer, host nodes (NODE), and load balancers.
Where possible, these metrics use the same labels so you can compare related data.

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

**Logs**

Vector collects PostgreSQL-related logs and sends them to VictoriaLogs on infrastructure nodes for storage and queries.

- [`pg_log_dir`](/docs/pgsql/param#pg_log_dir): postgres log directory, defaults to `/pg/log/postgres`
- [`pgbouncer_log_dir`](/docs/pgsql/param#pgbouncer_log_dir): pgbouncer log directory, defaults to `/pg/log/pgbouncer`
- [`patroni_log_dir`](/docs/pgsql/param#patroni_log_dir): patroni log directory, defaults to `/pg/log/patroni`
- [`pgbackrest_log_dir`](/docs/pgsql/param#pgbackrest_log_dir): pgbackrest log directory, defaults to `/pg/log/pgbackrest`


**Target Management**

Each VictoriaMetrics monitoring target instance has a static file in `/infra/targets/pgsql/`.
This example defines `pg-meta-1`:

```yaml
# 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    # <--- pgbouncer_exporter for PgBouncer metrics
    - 10.10.10.10:8008    # <--- Patroni metrics (when API SSL is not enabled)
    - 10.10.10.10:9854    # <--- pgbackrest_exporter for backup metrics
```

If [`patroni_ssl_enabled`](/docs/pgsql/param#patroni_ssl_enabled) is enabled globally, Patroni uses HTTPS scrape endpoints.
Pigsty writes these targets separately to `/infra/targets/patroni/<ins>.yml`.
For [RDS monitoring](#monitor-rds), targets are in `/infra/targets/pgrds/` and are managed by **cluster**.

`bin/pgsql-rm` and `pgsql-rm.yml` remove the corresponding monitoring targets when they remove a cluster.
You can also run:

```bash
bin/pgmon-rm <cls|ins>    # Remove monitoring targets from all infra nodes
```

[`pgsql-monitor.yml`](/docs/pgsql/playbook#pgsql-monitoryml) and `bin/pgmon-add` create remote RDS targets in `/infra/targets/pgrds/<cls>.yml`.




----------------

## Monitoring Modes

Pigsty provides three monitoring modes to suit different monitoring needs.

|     Item \ Level      |           L1            |             L2             |       L3        |
|:---------------------:|:-----------------------:|:--------------------------:|:---------------:|
|         Name          |  [Basic](#monitor-rds)  |  [Managed](#monitor-existing-cluster)  |  **Standard**   |
|        Abbr           |        **RDS**          |        **MANAGED**         |    **FULL**     |
|        Scenario       |  Connection string only, e.g., RDS  |    Existing DB, nodes manageable    | Instances created by Pigsty |
|   PGCAT Features      |     ✅ Fully Available    |        ✅ Fully Available     |   ✅ Fully Available   |

| Required Permissions  | Connectable PGURL from infra | SSH & sudo on DB nodes  | SSH & sudo on DB nodes |
| Feature Summary       |     PGCAT + PGRDS       |        Most features        |  Full features  |

Pigsty automatically monitors fully managed databases with all supported features.
They usually need no extra configuration.
For existing PostgreSQL clusters or RDS services, use [managed deployment](#monitor-existing-cluster) if Pigsty can access the nodes through SSH and sudo.
This gives monitoring similar to a native Pigsty deployment.
If you **have only a PGURL connection string**, use [basic mode](#monitor-rds).




----------------

## Monitor Existing Cluster

**If Pigsty can manage the target database nodes**, deploy monitoring components there with the `pg_exporter` task in [`pgsql.yml`](/docs/pgsql/playbook#pgsqlyml).
This requires `ssh` access and `sudo` privileges.
Use `pgbouncer` and `pgbouncer_exporter` from the same playbook to deploy connection pools and pool monitoring.
Use `node_exporter`, `haproxy`, and `vector` from [**`node.yml`**](/docs/node/playbook#nodeyml) for host monitoring, load balancing, and log collection.
These components provide the same monitoring features as native Pigsty database instances.

Define existing clusters in the same way as Pigsty-managed clusters.
Run only the required `pgsql.yml` tasks, rather than the complete playbook.

```bash
./node.yml  -l <cls> -t node_repo,node_pkg           # Add YUM repos from INFRA nodes and install packages on host nodes
./node.yml  -l <cls> -t node_exporter,node_register  # Configure host monitoring and add to VictoriaMetrics
./node.yml  -l <cls> -t vector                       # Configure host log collection and send to VictoriaLogs
./pgsql.yml -l <cls> -t pg_exporter,pg_register      # Configure PostgreSQL monitoring and register with VictoriaMetrics/Grafana
```

For an existing cluster, manually [create monitoring users, schemas, and extensions](#monitor-setup) in the target database.




----------------

## Monitor RDS

If you **have only a PGURL connection string**, follow this section.
Pigsty deploys PG Exporters on [**INFRA nodes**](/docs/concept/arch/node#infra-node) to collect remote database metrics:

```text
------ infra ------
|                 |
| victoria-metrics|            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 |
-------------------            ^------------------^
```

This mode provides database metrics and current status from the data catalog.
It does not provide host, connection pool, load balancer, or high-availability component metrics.
Pigsty provides two dashboards for PostgreSQL metrics: [PGRDS Cluster](https://demo.pigsty.io/ui/d/pgrds-cluster) and [PGRDS Instance](https://demo.pigsty.io/ui/d/pgrds-instance).
Overview and database monitoring use the existing dashboards.
Because Pigsty cannot manage RDS, [configure monitoring objects](#monitor-setup) on the target database first.



> [!NOTE] Limitations when monitoring external Postgres instances
> - PgBouncer connection pool metrics are not available
> - Patroni high availability component metrics are not available
> - Host node monitoring metrics are not available, including node HAProxy and Keepalived metrics
> - Log collection and log-derived metrics are not available


The following example uses the sandbox.
Treat `pg-meta` as the RDS instance `pg-foo-1`, and `pg-test` as the RDS cluster `pg-bar`.

1. Create monitoring schemas, users, and permissions on the target. Refer to [Monitor Setup](#monitor-setup) for details
2. Declare the cluster in the configuration inventory. For example, if we want to monitor "remote" `pg-meta` & `pg-test` clusters:

    ```yaml
    infra:            # Infra cluster for proxies, monitoring, alerts, etc.
      hosts: { 10.10.10.10: { infra_seq: 1 } }
      vars:           # Install pg_exporter on group 'infra' 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 datasource

          20002: { pg_cluster: pg-bar, pg_seq: 1, pg_host: 10.10.10.11 , pg_port: 5432 } # Different connection string 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 }
    ```

   Pigsty registers databases from `pg_databases` as PostgreSQL data sources in Grafana for PGCAT dashboards.
   If you do not need PGCAT or Grafana registration, set `pg_databases` to an empty array or leave it blank.

   ![pigsty-monitor.jpg](/img/pigsty/monitor.jpg)

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

    ```bash
    bin/pgmon-add pg-foo  # Bring pg-foo cluster into monitoring
    bin/pgmon-add pg-bar  # Bring pg-bar cluster into monitoring
    ```

4. To remove remote cluster monitoring targets, use `bin/pgmon-rm <clsname>`

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


Use additional parameters to override default `pg_exporter` options.

---------------------

## Monitor Setup

Before you monitor an existing RDS or self-managed PostgreSQL instance, configure the target database for Pigsty access.

To monitor an external PostgreSQL instance, provide a connection string that can access the instance or cluster.
A business user or superuser connection string can work.
However, use a dedicated monitoring user to avoid exposing other privileges.

- [ ] [Monitor User](#monitor-user): The default username is `dbuser_monitor`, which should belong to the `pg_monitor` role group or have access to relevant views
- [ ] [Monitor Authentication](#monitor-authentication): Default password authentication is used; ensure HBA policies allow the monitoring user to access databases from the admin node or DB node locally
- [ ] [Monitor Schema](#monitor-schema): Fixed schema name `monitor` is used for installing additional **monitoring views** and extension plugins; optional but recommended
- [ ] [Monitor Extension](#monitor-extension): **Strongly recommended** to enable the built-in monitoring extension `pg_stat_statements`
- [ ] [Monitor Views](#monitor-views): Monitoring views are optional but can provide additional metric support


### Monitor User

Using the default monitoring user `dbuser_monitor` as an example, create the following user on the target database cluster.

```sql
CREATE USER dbuser_monitor;                                       -- Create monitoring user
COMMENT ON ROLE dbuser_monitor IS 'system monitor user';          -- Comment on monitoring user
GRANT pg_monitor TO dbuser_monitor;                               -- Grant pg_monitor privilege to monitoring user, otherwise some metrics cannot be collected

ALTER USER dbuser_monitor PASSWORD 'DBUser.Monitor';              -- Modify monitoring user password as needed (strongly recommended! but keep consistent with Pigsty config)
ALTER USER dbuser_monitor SET log_min_duration_statement = 1000;  -- Recommended to avoid logs filling up with monitoring slow queries
ALTER USER dbuser_monitor SET search_path = monitor,public;       -- Recommended to ensure pg_stat_statements extension works properly
```

The monitoring username and password must match [`pg_monitor_username`](/docs/pgsql/param#pg_monitor_username) and [`pg_monitor_password`](/docs/pgsql/param#pg_monitor_password).


---------------------

### Monitor Authentication

Add these rules to `pg_hba.conf`.
They allow the monitoring user to access all databases from localhost and the administration node with password authentication:

```ini
# 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_machine_IP>/32 md5
```

If RDS does not allow HBA configuration, allow the internal IP address of the machine that runs Pigsty.

---------------------

### Monitor Schema

The monitoring schema is **optional**.
Core Pigsty monitoring works without it.
However, creating this schema is strongly recommended.

```sql
CREATE SCHEMA IF NOT EXISTS monitor;               -- Create dedicated monitoring schema
GRANT USAGE ON SCHEMA monitor TO dbuser_monitor;   -- Allow monitoring user to use it
```

---------------------

### Monitor Extension

The monitoring extension is optional.
However, enabling `pg_stat_statements` is strongly recommended because it supplies important query performance data.

Add this extension to `shared_preload_libraries` to enable it.
Changing this parameter requires a database restart.

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

Install this extension in the default administration database, `postgres`.
Some RDS services do not allow a monitoring schema in `postgres`.
In this case, install `pg_stat_statements` in the default `public` schema.
Configure the monitoring user search_path as shown above so it can find the `pg_stat_statements` view.

```sql
CREATE EXTENSION IF NOT EXISTS "pg_stat_statements";
ALTER USER dbuser_monitor SET search_path = monitor,public; -- Recommended to ensure pg_stat_statements extension works properly
```


---------------------

### Monitor Views

Monitoring views provide common preprocessed query results.
They also control access to metrics that need high privileges, such as shared memory allocation.
This makes these metrics easier to query and use.
Creating the views in every monitored database is strongly recommended.
