QUESTION
To collect Postgres metrics in prometheus, postgres_exporter is used. Containerization is not used, everything is done natively. Hardware metrics are collected in a prometheus through a job. To collect database metrics, I need to connect the prometheus_exporter to the database. Tell me how to configure the connection to the database. postgres_exporter has no configuration files. Шs it possible to do this via environment variables?

Yes, it is possible. Here is the list of supported variables: https://github.com/prometheus-community/postgres_exporter#environment-variables

QUESTION
I have a two-node PostgreSQL cluster running on VMs where each VM runs both the pgpool service and a Postgres server.
due to insufficient memory configuration the Postgres server crashed, so I've bumped the VM memory and the changed Postgres memory config in the postgresql.conf
file. since that memory changes the slave pgpool node detaches every night at a specific time, though when looking at node_exporter
metrics regarding CPU, load, processes disk usage or memory didn't show any spikes or sudden changes.
the slave node detaching happened before but not day after day. I've stumbled upon this thread and read this part of the documentation about the failover but Since the Postgres server didn't crash and existing connections to the slave node were working (it kept serving existing connections but didn't take new ones) so network issues seemed irrelevant, especially after consulting with our OPS team on whether they noticed any abnormal network or DNS activity that could explain that. Unfortunately, they didn't notice any interesting findings.
I have pg_exporter
, postgres_exporter
and node_exporter
on each node to monitor the server and VM behavior, what should I be looking for to debug this? what should I ask of our OPS team to check specifically? our pgpool log file only states the failure to access the other node but no exact reason, as the aforementioned docs say:
Pgpool-II does not distinguish each case and just decides that the particular PostgreSQL node is not available if health check fails.
could it still be a network\DNS issue? and if so. how would I confirm this?
thnx for reading and taking your time to assist me in this conundrum

If summing the gist of it,it was part of the OPS team infrastructure backups
Now the entire process went like that:setting the ambiance: we run on-prem on top of VMWare vCenter cluster backing up on the infra side with VMWare VM snapshot and Veeamm VM backup where the vmdk files\ESXi datastores reside on a NetApp storage based on NFS.
when checking node exporter metrics in Node Exporter Full Dashboard I saw network traffic drop in the order of up to 2 packets per second for about 5 to 15 minutes consistently through the last few months, increasing dramatically in phenomenon length in the last month (around the same time late at night).
After checking again with our OPS team they indicated it could be the host configurations\Veeam Backups.
It turns out that because the storage for the VMs (including the one that runs the Veeam backup) is attached via network and not directly on the ESXi hosts, the final snapshot saved\consolidated at that late-night time -
node detaches every night at a specific time
With the way NFS works with disk locking (limiting IOPs to existing data) along with the high IOPs requirements from the Veeam backup cause the server to hang\freeze and sometimes on rare occasions even a VM restart. here's the quote from the Veeam issue doc:
The snapshot removal process significantly lowers the total IOPS that can be delivered by the VM because of additional locks on the VMFS storage due to the increase in metadata updates
the snapshot removal process will easily push that into the 80%+ mark and likely much higher. Most storage arrays will see a significant latency penalty once IOP's get into the 80%+ mark which will of course be detrimental to application performance.
This issue occurs when the target virtual machine and the backup appliance [proxy] reside on two different hosts, and the NFSv3 protocol is used to mount NFS datastores. A limitation in the NFSv3 locking method causes a lock timeout, which pauses the virtual machine being backed up [during snapshot removal].
Obviously, that would interfere at the very least with Postgres functionality especially configured as a cluster with replication that requires a near-constant connection between the Postgres servers. A similar thread on SO using a different DB server
a solution is suggested including solving the issue presented in the last quote in this link, though for the time being, we removed the usage of Veeam backup for sensitive VMs until the solution can be verified locally (will update in the future if tried and fixed issue)
additional incidents documentation: similar issue case, suggested solution info from Veeam, third party site solution (around the same problem as a temp fix as I see it), Reddit thread acknowledging the issue and suggesting options
QUESTION
I'm trying to pass same label to a deployment, Both deployments have different image and environment variables. I'm using the same label so i can group the metrics together.
But the deployment is failing. Can someone please point me a workaround or is it because of the api version i'm using?
