Chapter 3. Requirements and Limitations

pgpro-otel-collector must be able to connect to a Postgres Pro instance. Connection parameters are defined in the configuration file and can be modified as needed.

The user connecting to the DBMS must have relevant rights and access to internal activity statistics.

Privileged access (root) to the procfs file system may be required for operating system metric collection by the hostmetrics receiver. For example, such access is specifically required by the process plugin.

Collecting DBMS instance activity logs with the filelog receiver requires access to the relevant directories and log files.
