PostgreSQL, commonly known as Postgres, is a highly reliable and
flexible open-source relational database management system. It offers
full SQL capabilities along with advanced features such as support for
complex data, extensibility, scalability, and high availability.
PostgreSQL is widely used in a variety of applications, from small
projects to large enterprise environments, where its reliability,
performance, and advanced features are highly valued.
How to Monitor PostgreSQL on the One Platform
To set up monitoring for PostgreSQL on the platform, follow these steps:
-
Go to the product application where you want to add PostgreSQL as a dependency in the platform.
-
Click on the “Products” menu and select the desired product card.
-
Then, click on the name of the specific application where you want to configure PostgreSQL monitoring.
-
Look for the section called “External Dependencies,” usually located just below the latency graph of the application.
-
To add an already registered dependency, type the name of the
dependency in the search field and select it when it appears in the
list. -
If PostgreSQL is not yet registered as a dependency, click on the green button with a plus (+) symbol to add a new dependency.
Click “Add” and a modal will appear allowing you to name the database
and select the Environment. In the “Check type” field, choose the
option “DB,” and in the “Method” field, select “Postgres.” After
selecting the method, a field for the Healthcheck URL will appear.
Below is an example of string for Postgres:
e.g: postgres://USER:PASSWORD@HOST:PORT/DATABASE
Note: For security reasons, it is
not permitted to enter an IP in the healthcheck field. To monitor an IP,
you need to enter it in a secret and use it in healthcheck
