PG Metricus

INFO

pg_metricus is an extension written in C for sending metrics in the socket (Brubeck aggregator, Graphite, etc.) from pl/pgsql code.

If a sending is executed inside a transaction, the metrics will delivered even if the transaction is aborted.

INSTALLATION

In the directory where you downloaded pg_metricus, run

make install

You need set control variables in postgresql.conf. These can be added/changed at anytime with a simple reload. See the documentation for more details.:

pg_metricus.host = '10.9.5.164' pg_metricus.port = 8124

Log into PostgreSQL and run the following commands. Schema is optional (but recommended) and can be whatever you wish, but it cannot be changed after installation.

plpgsql create schema metricus; create extension pg_metricus schema metricus;

FORMAT

For Brubeck aggregator: plpgsql select metricus.send_metric(format(E'%s.%s:%s|%s\n', metric_path, metric_name, metric_value, metric_type ));

For Graphite: plpgsql select metricus.send_metric(format(E'%s.%s %s %s \n', metric_path, metric_name, metric_value, extract(epoch from now())::integer ));

EXAMPLE

```plpgsql do language plpgsql $$ declare x1 timestamp; x2 timestamp; v_val_hstore text; begin

x1 = clock_timestamp();

v_val_hstore = get_val_hstore();

x2 = clock_timestamp();

perform metricus.send_metric(format(E'%s.%s:%s|%s\n', 
    'db.sql.metric', 
    'get_val_hstore_duration', 
    extract(millisecond from (x2 - x1))::bigint::text, 
    'ms'
));

end $$; ```
