[ { type: install message: <<EOM A sample configuration file has been installed in %%PREFIX%%/etc/postgres_exporter.yml.sample. To use postgres_exporter, copy this config file to "postgres_exporter.yml" and edit as needed, then enable and start the service: # service postgres_exporter enable # service postgres_exporter start For rc(8) options which can be used to configure the service, refer to %%PREFIX%%/etc/rc.d/postgres_exporter. For example, to log output to the 'local5' syslog facility instead of the default 'daemon': # sysrc postgres_exporter_syslog_output_facility=local5 By default, the exporter runs as the 'nobody' user and listens on localhost:9187. These defaults can be changed via rc(8). For documentation on the configuration file format and how to integrate the exporter into Prometheus, refer to the documentation at: https://github.com/prometheus-community/postgres_exporter EOM } { type: upgrade maximum_version: "0.16.0" message: <<EOM BREAKING CHANGE: In postgres_exporter 0.16.0 and later, the log message format has changed. From the upstream release notes: The logging system has been replaced with log/slog from the stdlib. This change is being made across the prometheus ecosystem. The logging output has changed, but the messages and levels remain the same. The ts label for the timestamp has been replaced with time, the accuracy is less, and the timezone is not forced to UTC. The caller field has been replaced by the source field, which now includes the full path to the source file. The level field now exposes the log level in capital letters. EOM } ]
