Postgresql

Postgresql

PostgreSQL, also known as Postgres, is a free and open-source relational database management system emphasizing extensibility and technical standards compliance. It is designed to handle a range of workloads, from single machines to data warehouses or Web services with many concurrent users.

PostgreSQL by Zabbix agent

Overview

This template is designed for the deployment of PostgreSQL monitoring by Zabbix via Zabbix agent and uses user parameters to run SQL queries with the psql command-line tool.

Requirements

Zabbix version: 6.4 and higher.

Tested versions

This template has been tested on:

  • PostgreSQL 10-15

Configuration

Zabbix should be configured according to the instructions in the Templates out of the box section.

Setup

Note:

  • The template requires pg_isready and psql utilities to be installed on the same host with Zabbix agent.
  1. Deploy Zabbix agent and create the PostgreSQL user for monitoring (<password> at your discretion) with proper access rights to your PostgreSQL instance.

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;
  1. Copy the postgresql/ directory to the zabbix user home directory - /var/lib/zabbix/. The postgresql/ directory contains the files with SQL queries needed to obtain metrics from PostgreSQL instance.

If the home directory of the zabbix user doesn't exist, create it first:

mkdir -m u=rwx,g=rwx,o= -p /var/lib/zabbix
chown zabbix:zabbix /var/lib/zabbix
  1. Copy the template_db_postgresql.conf file, containing user parameters, to the Zabbix agent configuration directory /etc/zabbix/zabbix_agentd.d/ and restart Zabbix agent service.

Note: if you want to use SSL/TLS encryption to protect communications with the remote PostgreSQL instance, you can modify the connection string in user parameters. For example, to enable required encryption in transport mode without identity checks you could append ?sslmode=required to the end of the connection string for all keys that use psql:

UserParameter=pgsql.bgwriter[*], psql -qtAX postgresql://"$3":"$4"@"$1":"$2"/"$5"?sslmode=required -f "/var/lib/zabbix/postgresql/pgsql.bgwriter.sql"

Consult the PostgreSQL documentation about protection modes and client connection parameters.

Also, it is assumed that you set up the PostgreSQL instance to work in the desired encryption mode. Check the PostgreSQL documentation for details.

  1. Edit the pg_hba.conf configuration file to allow connections for the user zbx_monitor. For example, you could add one of the following rows to allow local TCP connections from the same host:
# TYPE  DATABASE        USER            ADDRESS                 METHOD
  host       all        zbx_monitor     localhost               trust
  host       all        zbx_monitor     127.0.0.1/32            md5
  host       all        zbx_monitor     ::1/128                 scram-sha-256

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

  1. Specify the host name or IP address in the {$PG.HOST} macro. Adjust the port number with {$PG.PORT} macro if needed.

  2. Set the password that you specified in step 1 in the macro {$PG.PASSWORD}.

PostgreSQL: Required checkpoints occur too frequently

Checkpoints are points in the sequence of transactions at which it is guaranteed that the heap and index data files have been updated with all information written before that checkpoint. At checkpoint time, all dirty data pages are flushed to disk and a special checkpoint record is written to the log file.
