# /postgres_exporter                                                   #
#                                                                      #

Unless you're scraping the Postgres Exporter metrics from a local Prometheus instance, as described in Integrating with Postgres Exporter, you will probably wish to expose the metrics publicly so that a remote Prometheus instance can fetch them.

Usage

After you installed the exporter, your stats will be available on mash.example.com/metrics/postgres-exporter with basic auth credentials you configured
