Template DB PostgreSQL

Overview

Templates to monitor PostgreSQL by Zabbix.\ This template was tested on Zabbix 4.2.1 and PostgreSQL vesions 9.6, 10 and 11 on Linux and Windows.

Setup

Install Zabbix agent and create a read-only zbx_monitor user with proper access to your PostgreSQL server.

For PostgreSQL version 10 and above:

CREATE USER zbx_monitor WITH PASSWORD '<PASSWORD>' INHERIT;
GRANT pg_monitor TO zbx_monitor;

For PostgreSQL version 9.6 and below:

CREATE USER zbx_monitor WITH PASSWORD '<PASSWORD>';
GRANT SELECT ON pg_stat_database TO zbx_monitor;

-- To collect WAL metrics, the user must have a `superuser` role.
ALTER USER zbx_monitor WITH SUPERUSER;

Copy postgresql/ to Zabbix agent home directory /var/lib/zabbix/. The postgresql/ directory contains the files needed to obtain metrics from PostgreSQL.
Copy template_db_postgresql.conf to Zabbix agent configuration directory /etc/zabbix/zabbix_agentd.d/ and restart Zabbix agent service.
Edit pg_hba.conf to allow connections from Zabbix agent https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/auth-pg-hba-conf.html.

Add rows (for example):
```
host all zbx_monitor 127.0.0.1/32 trust
host all zbx_monitor 0.0.0.0/0 md5
host all zbx_monitor ::0/0 md5
```
If you need to monitor the remote server then create .pgpass file in Zabbix agent home directory /var/lib/zabbix/ and add the connection details with the instance, port, database, user and password information in the below format https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/libpq-pgpass.html.

Example 1:
```
<REMOTE_HOST1>:5432:postgres:zbx_monitor:<PASSWORD>

<REMOTE_HOST2>:5432:postgres:zbx_monitor:<PASSWORD>
...
<REMOTE_HOSTN>:5432:postgres:zbx_monitor:<PASSWORD>
```
Example 2:
```
*:5432:postgres:zbx_monitor:<PASSWORD>
```
Import template_db_postgresql.xml to Zabbix and link it to the target host

Zabbix configuration

If PostgreSQL is installed from the PGDG repository, then add the path to pg_isready to the PATH environment variable for zabbix user.

Template DB PostgreSQL Agent 2

Overview

For Zabbix version: 5.0
The template is developed for monitoring DBMS PostgreSQL and its forks.

This template was tested on:

PostgreSQL, version 10, 11, 12
Zabbix, version 5.0

Setup

1. Create PostgreSQL user for monitoring (<password> at your discretion):

CREATE USER 'zbx_monitor' IDENTIFIED BY '<password>';
GRANT EXECUTE ON FUNCTION pg_catalog.pg_ls_dir(text) TO zbx_monitor;
GRANT EXECUTE ON FUNCTION pg_catalog.pg_stat_file(text) TO zbx_monitor;

2. Edit pg_hba.conf to allow connections from Zabbix agent:

# TYPE  DATABASE        USER            ADDRESS                 METHOD
    host            all              zbx_monitor            127.0.0.1                md5

For more information please read the PostgreSQL documentation https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/auth-pg-hba-conf.html.

3. Set in the {$PG.URI} macro the system data source name of the PostgreSQL instance such as <protocol(host:port)>.

4. Set the user name and password in host macros ({$PG.USER} and {$PG.PASSWORD}) if you want to override parameters from the Zabbix agent configuration file.

Zabbix configuration

No specific Zabbix configuration is required.
