Hello @Alexander R.

Apologize that I could not understand the word bases (if it was not referred to as databases). Even though I would like to share the following information with you.

The global configuration is automatically applied to every PostgreSQL host in your environment. If necessary, you can override the global configuration at a single host level.

Regards,

Babar

I have tried different separators, like 'comma'

database1, database2, database3

database1;database2;database3

Also I have tried empy field

output:

Configuration error ("Database name" field cannot be empty)

Alexander

Hello @Alexander R.

Did you do the configuration on the global level?

With PostgreSQL monitoring enabled globally, when a new host running PostgreSQL is detected in your environment, Dynatrace automatically collects PostgreSQL metrics, assuming that the same credentials are used by the PostgreSQL server or a new DB.

It is enabled.

btw, in global configuration also I can see "Database name"

Hi @Alexander R.

the database name is required to connect to the PostgreSQL server, but the extension monitors all the DBs running on that server and accessible for this user, so you can actually pick any database.

Interesting: since you have to supply a port - how is this supposed to work then? Shall I leave out the port and it will try to monitor every instance running on that host? To my experience this doesn't work. We would need a plugin for an ActiveGate to monitor several Postgres DBs on one box. Or maybe the OneAgent extension has been extended...

Torsten

Is this a thing for extension 2.0?
