Description

I’m currently using postgres_exporter to collect database metrics and have successfully created a Grafana dashboard to visualize these metrics. However, my new requirement is to add a new panel to gather schema-level metrics for a specific database. I’m currently unsure about the configuration steps for achieving this. While I came across some documentation on configuring custom metrics, it appears that this method has been deprecated.”

Example: I have database test and two schema a and b, I want to show/ show size of a and b in grafana

Research direction

Start with the postgres_exporter configuration and the custom-metrics documentation referenced in the issue, then review the linked Prometheus discussion. Determine how schema-level size metrics for schemas a and b in database test should be configured or supported. Done means those schema metrics can be exposed for Grafana to display.
