# Enabling metrics and graphs for Postgres (optional)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Expanding on the metrics exposed by the [synapse exporter and the node exporter](configuring-playbook-prometheus-grafana.md), the playbook enables the [postgres exporter](https://github.com/prometheus-community/postgres_exporter) that exposes more detailed information about what's happening on your postgres database.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You can enable this with the following settings in your configuration file (`inventory/host_vars/matrix.<your-domain>/vars.yml`):
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```yaml
|
||
|
|
matrix_prometheus_postgres_exporter_enabled: true
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
# the role creates a postgres user as credential. You can configure these if required:
|
||
|
|
matrix_prometheus_postgres_exporter_database_username: 'matrix_prometheus_postgres_exporter'
|
||
|
|
matrix_prometheus_postgres_exporter_database_password: 'some-password'
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## What does it do?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Name | Description
|
||
|
|

|
||
|
|
`matrix_prometheus_postgres_exporter_database_username`| The 'username' for the user that the exporter uses to connect to the database. The default is 'matrix_prometheus_postgres_exporter'
|

|
|
`matrix_prometheus_postgres_exporter_database_password`| The 'password' for the user that the exporter uses to connect to the database.
