Reminder to all repository users: Please do not add , commit and push any data files to your remote git repositories. The disk space the Git server is limited, it wasn't dimensioned to host anything else than code. Solely your code files need versioning. The data inputs/outputs don't. A good idea is to do "git add" individually on each file you want to commit, to avoid versioning unwanted content.

Postgres exporter

Note: Available since Omnibus GitLab 8.17. For installations from source you'll have to install and configure it yourself.

The postgres exporter allows you to measure various PostgreSQL metrics.

To enable the postgres exporter:

  1. Enable Prometheus
  2. Edit /etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb

  3. Add or find and uncomment the following line, making sure it's set to true:

    postgres_exporter['enable'] = true

  4. Save the file and reconfigure GitLab for the changes to take effect

Prometheus will now automatically begin collecting performance data from the postgres exporter exposed under localhost:9187.
