Monitor Integration

In order to have your PostGreSQL server monitored by ServerGuard24 , the connection to the PostGreSQL server from all of ServerGuard24's measuring points is required (please keep firewalls in mind).

Therefore you should add a new PostGreSQL user, which is used by ServerGuard24 for monitoring purposes only and which does not need any access rights to you data. Finally enter the assigned username and password in the ServerGuard24 PGSQL service form.
