Hello Peter,
If I were going to continuously monitor the pgbouncer efficiency, it
would be a good idea. Maybe there is even a Prometheus exporter for
pgbouncer.
However, do you think this information can be inferred from pgbouncer
logs in some way? Because I need it only occasionally.
If, for example, I divide the number of "login attempt" lines in the
log by the number of "new connection to server" lines, will this be
the ratio I'm looking for?
