Test with:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
curl "http://localhost:9187/metrics"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Example Prometheus config:
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
scrape_configs:
|
||||
- job_name: postgres
|
||||
static_configs:
|
||||
- targets: ["127.0.0.1:9187"] # Replace IP with the hostname of the docker container if you're running the container in a separate network
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Now use the DATA_SOURCE_PASS_FILE with a mounted file containing the password to prevent having the password in an environment variable.
|
||||
|
||||
The container process runs with uid/gid 65534 (important for file permissions).

## Multi-Target Support (BETA)
|
||||
**This Feature is in beta and may require changes in future releases. Feedback is welcome.**

|

* `DATA_SOURCE_URI`
|

an alternative to `DATA_SOURCE_NAME` which exclusively accepts the hostname

without a username and password component. For example, `my_pg_hostname` or

`my_pg_hostname?sslmode=disable`.

`my_pg_hostname:5432/postgres?sslmode=disable`.

* `DATA_SOURCE_URI_FILE`
|

The same as above but reads the URI from a file.
