# PostgreSQL by Zabbix agent 2

## Overview

For Zabbix version: 6.0 and higher  
The template is developed for monitoring DBMS PostgreSQL and its forks.



This template was tested on:

- PostgreSQL, version 10, 11, 12

## Setup

> See [Zabbix template operation](https://www.zabbix.com/documentation/6.0/manual/config/templates_out_of_the_box/zabbix_agent2) for basic instructions.

1\. Create PostgreSQL user for monitoring (`<password>` at your discretion):

```bash
CREATE USER zbx_monitor WITH PASSWORD '<PASSWORD>' INHERIT;
GRANT EXECUTE ON FUNCTION pg_catalog.pg_ls_dir(text) TO zbx_monitor;
GRANT EXECUTE ON FUNCTION pg_catalog.pg_stat_file(text) TO zbx_monitor;
GRANT EXECUTE ON FUNCTION pg_catalog.pg_ls_waldir() TO zbx_monitor;
```

2\. Edit pg_hba.conf to allow connections from Zabbix agent:
  
```bash
# TYPE  DATABASE        USER            ADDRESS                 METHOD
  host       all        zbx_monitor     localhost               md5
```

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

3\. Set in the {$PG.URI} macro the system data source name of the PostgreSQL instance such as <protocol(host:port)>.

4\. Set the user name and password in host macros ({$PG.USER} and {$PG.PASSWORD}) if you want to override parameters from the Zabbix agent configuration file.



## Zabbix configuration

No specific Zabbix configuration is required.
