Description

what does zalando do for postgres monitoring with any databases run via this operator?

I was thinking of building https://github.com/wrouesnel/postgres_exporter into the database container and having that be monitored via our prometheus operator.

is there any existing plans to add monitoring directly into this project in some way? if not, is there a need for a more detailed discussion/approach prior to contribution or shall I do as the contribution guidelines say and just hack away and send a PR?

Research direction

Start by reviewing the contribution guidelines, the database container used by the operator, and how the Prometheus operator would consume postgres_exporter metrics. Clarify whether monitoring belongs in this project and define the integration approach before implementation; done means an agreed scope and a contribution plan.
