Failing to send beats from Postgres

Elastic Stack Beats
1

I've configured and enabled the postgresql module with the following config:

# Module: postgresql
# Docs: https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/metricbeat/6.x/metricbeat-module-postgresql.html

- module: postgresql
  metricsets:
    - database
  #  - bgwriter
  #  - activity
  period: 5s
  hosts: ["postgres://myurl.com:5432"]
  username: myuser
  password: mypassword

But I can't make it work, the url, user and password are ok and the user has permission to query the databases activities.

The ouput config from metricbeats is:

I've also configure the cloud.id and the cloud.auth parameters and the elastic and kibana were automatically configured. The modele system is sending logs ok when it is configured.

The postgres version is 10.4

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance

Hi @juanmav :slight_smile:

I have just tested the module with the 10.4 Docker image without problem so we can discard an version issue. Maybe ssl isn't enabled on the instance, can you try setting hosts to hosts: ["postgres://myurl.com:5432?sslmode=disable"], please?

@Mario_Castro thanks for the reply (and the formatting of my post) I've added that you suggested and now it is working :slight_smile:

Thanks!
