PostgreSQL ☛ pg_exporter v1.0.0 Released – Next-Level PG Observability
We’re delighted to announce pg_exporter v1.0, an advanced open-source Prometheus exporter that takes PostgreSQL observability to the next level.
Built for DBAs and developers who need deep insight, pg_exporter exposes 600 + metrics—roughly 3 K – 20 K time series per instance — covering core PostgreSQL internals, popular extensions such as TimescaleDB, Citus, pg_stat_statements, pg_wait_sampling, and even pgBouncer, all through a single, fully customizable exporter.
Unlike other exporters, pg_exporter values customizability: every metric lives in a YAML definition, so you can add, modify, or extend metrics without recompiling. The configuration allows fine-grained control over collection logic — PostgreSQL version branching, caching, timeouts, pre-condition queries, a health-check Hey Hi (AI) and live reload & replanning are all built in.
