Research direction

No files, tests, versions, or configuration are named. Start by comparing the exporter’s pg_stat_activity_count output with the PostgreSQL connection count and gather the exporter and PostgreSQL versions. Done means identifying why the exporter reports zeros for most databases and documenting a reproducible cause or correction.
