ClickStack provides multiple ways to ingest observability data into your ClickHouse instance. This section contains
quick start guides for various log and trace sources.
+:::note
+Several of these integration guides use ClickStack's built-in OpenTelemetry Collector for quick testing. For production deployments, we recommend running your own OTel Collector and sending data to ClickStack's OTLP endpoint. See [Sending OpenTelemetry data](/use-cases/observability/clickstack/ingesting-data/opentelemetry) for production configuration.

+# Monitoring PostgreSQL Metrics with ClickStack {#postgres-metrics-clickstack}
+
+:::note[TL;DR]
+This guide shows you how to monitor PostgreSQL performance metrics with ClickStack by configuring the OpenTelemetry collector's PostgreSQL receiver. You'll learn how to:
+
+- Configure the OTel collector to collect PostgreSQL metrics
+- Deploy ClickStack with your custom configuration
+- Use a pre-built dashboard to visualize PostgreSQL performance (transactions, connections, database size, cache hit ratios)
+
+A demo dataset with sample metrics is available if you want to test the integration before configuring your production PostgreSQL database.
+
+Time required: 10-15 minutes
+:::
+
+## Integration with existing PostgreSQL {#existing-postgres}
+
+This section covers configuring your existing PostgreSQL installation to send metrics to ClickStack by configuring the ClickStack OTel collector with the PostgreSQL receiver.
+
+If you would like to test the PostgreSQL metrics integration before configuring your own existing setup, you can test with our preconfigured demo dataset in the [following section](#demo-dataset).
+
+##### Prerequisites {#prerequisites}
+- ClickStack instance running
+- Existing PostgreSQL installation (version 9.6 or newer)
+- Network access from ClickStack to PostgreSQL (default port 5432)
+- PostgreSQL monitoring user with appropriate permissions
+
+
+
+#### Ensure monitoring user has required permissions {#monitoring-permissions}
+
+The PostgreSQL receiver requires a user with read access to statistics views. Grant the `pg_monitor` role to your monitoring user:
+
+```sql
+GRANT pg_monitor TO your_monitoring_user;
+```
+
+#### Create custom OTel collector configuration {#create-custom-config}
+
+ClickStack allows you to extend the base OpenTelemetry collector configuration by mounting a custom configuration file and setting an environment variable.
+
+Create `postgres-metrics.yaml`:
+
+```yaml
+receivers:
+ postgresql:
+ endpoint: postgres-host:5432
+ transport: tcp
+ username: otel_monitor
+ password: ${env:POSTGRES_PASSWORD}
+ databases:
+ - postgres
+ - your_application_db # Replace with your actual database names
+ collection_interval: 30s
+ tls:
+ insecure: true
+
+processors:
+ resourcedetection:
+ detectors: [env, system, docker]
+ timeout: 5s
+ batch:
+ timeout: 10s
+ send_batch_size: 1024
+
+exporters:
+ clickhouse:
+ endpoint: tcp://localhost:9000
+ database: default
+ ttl: 96h
+
+service:
+ pipelines:
+ metrics/postgres:
+ receivers: [postgresql]
+ processors: [resourcedetection, batch]
+ exporters: [clickhouse]
+```
+
+:::note
+The `tls: insecure: true` setting disables SSL verification for development/testing. For production PostgreSQL with SSL enabled, remove this line or configure proper certificates.
+:::
+
+#### Deploy ClickStack with custom configuration {#deploy-clickstack}
+
+Mount your custom configuration:
+
+```bash
+docker run -d \
+ --name clickstack-postgres \
+ -p 8123:8123 -p 9000:9000 -p 4317:4317 -p 4318:4318 \
+ -e HYPERDX_API_KEY=your-api-key \
+ -e CLICKHOUSE_PASSWORD=your-clickhouse-password \
+ -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=secure_password_here \
+ -e CUSTOM_OTELCOL_CONFIG_FILE=/etc/otelcol-contrib/custom.config.yaml \
+ -v "$(pwd)/postgres-metrics.yaml:/etc/otelcol-contrib/custom.config.yaml:ro" \
+ clickhouse/clickstack:latest
+```
+
+#### Verify metrics collection {#verify-metrics}
+
+Once configured, log into HyperDX and verify metrics are flowing:
+
+1. Navigate to the Metrics explorer
+2. Search for metrics starting with postgresql. (e.g., postgresql.backends, postgresql.commits)
+3. You should see metric data points appearing at your configured collection interval
+
+Once metrics are flowing, proceed to the [Dashboards and visualization](#dashboards) section to import the pre-built dashboard.
+
+
+
+## Demo dataset {#demo-dataset}
+
+For users who want to test the PostgreSQL metrics integration before configuring their production systems, we provide a pre-generated dataset with realistic PostgreSQL metrics patterns.
+
+:::note[Database-level metrics only]
+This demo dataset includes database-level metrics only to keep the sample data lightweight. Table and index metrics are collected automatically when monitoring a real PostgreSQL database.
+:::
+
+
+
+#### Download the sample metrics dataset {#download-sample}
+
+Download the pre-generated metrics files (24 hours of PostgreSQL metrics with realistic patterns):
+
+```bash
+# Download gauge metrics (connections, database size)
+curl -O https://datasets-documentation.s3.eu-west-3.amazonaws.com/clickstack-integrations/postgres/postgres-metrics-gauge.csv
+
+# Download sum metrics (commits, rollbacks, operations)
+curl -O https://datasets-documentation.s3.eu-west-3.amazonaws.com/clickstack-integrations/postgres/postgres-metrics-sum.csv
+```
+
+The dataset includes realistic patterns:
+- **Morning connection spike (08:00)** - Login rush
+- **Cache performance issue (11:00)** - Blocks_read spike
+- **Application bug (14:00-14:30)** - Rollback rate spikes to 15%
+- **Deadlock incidents (14:15, 16:30)** - Rare deadlocks
+
+#### Start ClickStack {#start-clickstack}
+
+Start a ClickStack instance:
+
+```bash
+docker run -d --name clickstack-postgres-demo \
+ -p 8080:8080 -p 4317:4317 -p 4318:4318 \
+ docker.hyperdx.io/hyperdx/hyperdx-all-in-one:latest
+```
+
+Wait approximately 30 seconds for ClickStack to fully start.
+
+#### Load metrics into ClickStack {#load-metrics}
+
+Load the metrics directly into ClickHouse:
+
+```bash
+# Load gauge metrics
+cat postgres-metrics-gauge.csv | docker exec -i clickstack-postgres-demo \
+ clickhouse-client --query "INSERT INTO otel_metrics_gauge FORMAT CSVWithNames"
+
+# Load sum metrics
+cat postgres-metrics-sum.csv | docker exec -i clickstack-postgres-demo \
+ clickhouse-client --query "INSERT INTO otel_metrics_sum FORMAT CSVWithNames"
+```
+
+#### Verify metrics in HyperDX {#verify-metrics-demo}
+
+Once loaded, the quickest way to see your metrics is through the pre-built dashboard.
+
+Proceed to the [Dashboards and visualization](#dashboards) section to import the dashboard and view many PostgreSQL metrics at once.
+
+:::note
+The demo dataset time range is November 10, 2025 00:00:00 to November 11, 2025 00:00:00. Make sure your time range in HyperDX matches this window.
+:::
+
+
+
+## Dashboards and visualization {#dashboards}
+
+To help you get started monitoring PostgreSQL with ClickStack, we provide essential visualizations for PostgreSQL metrics.
+
+
+
+#### Download the dashboard configuration {#download}
+
+#### Import the pre-built dashboard {#import-dashboard}
+
+1. Open HyperDX and navigate to the Dashboards section
+2. Click **Import Dashboard** in the upper right corner under the ellipses
+
+
+
+3. Upload the `postgres-metrics-dashboard.json` file and click **Finish Import**
+
+
+
+#### View the dashboard {#created-dashboard}
+
+The dashboard will be created with all visualizations pre-configured:
+
+
+
+:::note
+For the demo dataset, ensure the time range is set to November 10, 2025 00:00:00 - November 11, 2025 00:00:00.
+:::
+
+
+
+## Troubleshooting {#troubleshooting}
+
+### Custom config not loading {#troubleshooting-not-loading}
+
+Verify the environment variable is set:
+
+```bash
+docker exec printenv CUSTOM_OTELCOL_CONFIG_FILE
+```
+
+Check the custom config file is mounted:
+
+```bash
+docker exec cat /etc/otelcol-contrib/custom.config.yaml
+```
+
+### No metrics appearing in HyperDX {#no-metrics}
+
+Verify PostgreSQL is accessible:
+
+```bash
+docker exec psql -h postgres-host -U otel_monitor -d postgres -c "SELECT 1"
+```
+
+Check OTel collector logs:
+
+```bash
+docker exec cat /etc/otel/supervisor-data/agent.log | grep -i postgres
+```
+
+### Authentication errors {#auth-errors}
+
+Verify password is set correctly:
+
+```bash
+docker exec printenv POSTGRES_PASSWORD
+```
+
+Test credentials directly:
+
+```bash
+psql -h postgres-host -U otel_monitor -d postgres -c "SELECT version();"
+```
+
+## Next steps {#next-steps}
+
+After setting up PostgreSQL metrics monitoring:
+
+- Set up [alerts](/use-cases/observability/clickstack/alerts) for critical thresholds (connection limits, high rollback rates, low cache hit ratios)
+- Enable query-level monitoring with `pg_stat_statements` extension
+- Monitor multiple PostgreSQL instances by duplicating the receiver configuration with different endpoints and service names
+
+## Going to production {#going-to-production}
+
+This guide extends ClickStack's built-in OpenTelemetry Collector for quick setup. For production deployments, we recommend running your own OTel Collector and sending data to ClickStack's OTLP endpoint. See [Sending OpenTelemetry data](/use-cases/observability/clickstack/ingesting-data/opentelemetry) for production configuration.
