\*NIX Operating System metrics (Linux, BSD, etc) are collected using the [node_exporter](https://github.com/prometheus/node_exporter) provided by the Prometheus team. pgMonitor only collects the default metrics provided by node_exporter, but many additional metrics are available if needed.

### Suggested Optional Metrics

There are many other suggestions, projects, and exporters out there that can provide additional metrics not included by default with pgMonitor. Some recommendations are below

[https://docs.percona.com/pg-stat-monitor/](pg_stat_monitor) - Similar to pg_stat_statements, but provides deeper analysis on individual query statistics and performance.
