+# Enabling metrics and graphs for Postgres (optional)
+
+Expanding on the metrics exposed by the [syapse 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.
+
+You can enable this with the following settings in your configuration file (`inventory/host_vars/matrix.<your-domain>/vars.yml`):
+
+
+```yaml
+matrix_prometheus_postgres_exporter_enabled: true
+
+# the role creates a postgres user as credential. You can configure these if required:
+matrix_prometheus_postgres_exporter_database_username: 'matrix_prometheus_postgres_exporter'
+matrix_prometheus_postgres_exporter_database_password: 'some-password'
+
+```
+
+## What does it do?
+
+Name | Description
+-----|----------
+`matrix_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'
+`matrix_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'
+`matrix_prometheus_postgres_exporter_database_password`| The 'username' for the user that the exporter uses to connect to the database.

+# - or listens on a loopback interface only (--net=host and 127.0.0.1:9100), which is not reachable from another container (like `matrix-prometheus`)
+#
+# Using `--net=host` and binding to Docker's `matrix` bridge network may be a solution to both,
+# but that's trickier to accomplish and won't necessarily work (hasn't been tested).
+#
+# Not using `--net=host` means that our network statistic reports are likely broken (inaccurate),
