Name | Description
|

-----|----------
|
||||
`prometheus_enabled`|[Prometheus](https://prometheus.io) is a time series database. It holds all the data we're going to talk about.
|
||||
`prometheus_node_exporter_enabled`|[Node Exporter](https://prometheus.io/docs/guides/node-exporter/) is an addon of sorts to Prometheus that collects generic system information such as CPU, memory, filesystem, and even system temperatures.
|
||||
|
||||
**Note**: the retention policy of Prometheus metrics is [15 days by default](https://prometheus.io/docs/prometheus/latest/storage/#operational-aspects). Older data gets deleted automatically.
|
||||
|
||||
### Enable metrics and graphs for generic system information (optional)
|
||||
|
||||
You can enable the [Node Exporter](https://prometheus.io/docs/guides/node-exporter/), an addon of sorts to Prometheus that collects generic system information such as CPU, memory, filesystem, and even system temperatures.
|
||||
|
||||
To enable it, add the following configuration to your `vars.yml` file:
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
prometheus_node_exporter_enabled: true
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Enable metrics and graphs for Postgres (optional)
|
||||
|
||||
Expanding on the metrics exposed by the Synapse exporter and the Node exporter, the playbook can also install and configure the [PostgreSQL Server Exporter](https://github.com/prometheus-community/postgres_exporter) that exposes more detailed information about what's happening on your Postgres database.
