# Enabling metrics and graphs for Postgres (optional)
Expanding on the metrics exposed by the [synapse exporter and the node exporter](configuring-playbook-prometheus-grafana.md), the playbook enables the [postgres exporter](https://github.com/prometheus-community/postgres_exporter) that exposes more detailed information about what's happening on your postgres database.
## Adjusting the playbook configuration
To enable the postgres exporter, add the following configuration to your `inventory/host_vars/matrix.example.com/vars.yml` file:
```yaml
prometheus_postgres_exporter_enabled: true
```
## Installing
After configuring the playbook, run the [installation](installing.md) command: `just install-all` or `just setup-all`
## What does it do?
Name | Description
-----|----------
`prometheus_postgres_exporter_enabled`|Enable the postgres prometheus exporter. This sets up the docker container, connects it to the database and adds a 'job' to the prometheus config which tells prometheus about this new exporter. The default is 'false'
`prometheus_postgres_exporter_database_username`| The 'username' for the user that the exporter uses to connect to the database. The default is 'matrix_prometheus_postgres_exporter'
`prometheus_postgres_exporter_database_password`| The 'password' for the user that the exporter uses to connect to the database. By default, this is auto-generated by the playbook
`prometheus_postgres_exporter_container_labels_traefik_enabled`|If set to `true`, exposes the Postgres exporter metrics on `https://matrix.example.com/metrics/postgres-exporter` for usage with an [external Prometheus server](configuring-playbook-prometheus-grafana.md#collecting-metrics-to-an-external-prometheus-server). To password-protect the metrics, see `matrix_metrics_exposure_http_basic_auth_users` on that other documentation page.
