  • Where do you run it - Bare Metal K8s
  • Are you running Postgres Operator in production? no
  • Type of issue? feature request

Hi,
I didn't find in documentation anything about operator metrics( self metrics).
We use operator for review stages and operator, every day, deploy and destroy 100-200 Postgres clusters, but we can't monitor operations status.

Could you have plans about add self metrics( clusters count\stats\status\etc) and default go metrics via prometheus exporter?

Research direction

The issue does not name files or tests; start by reviewing the operator's existing metrics exposure and Prometheus integration. Clarify which cluster counts, statistics, and statuses are required, then consider the work complete when the requested self-metrics and default Go metrics are exposed in a Prometheus-compatible form and documented.
