NIP: Postgres exporter down

Alert: NipPostgresExporterDown · Severity: Critical

What this means

postgres-exporter container on the app server is not scrapeable. DB metrics unknown; Postgres itself may still be running.

Fix

cd /opt/monitoring-agents
docker compose --profile db-exporters ps
docker compose --profile db-exporters up -d postgres-exporter
curl -s localhost:9187/metrics | head

Escalate if

Postgres container also down — transfers will fail; treat as DB incident.
