a script that counts how many lines of postgres processes there are and
subtracts a few....


$ ps -C postmaster uww
USER       PID %CPU %MEM    VSZ   RSS TTY      STAT START   TIME COMMAND
postgres  2878  0.0  0.1 152036  1500 ?        S    Apr05  22:48
/usr/bin/postmaster -p 5432 -D /var/lib/pgsql/data
postgres  3941  0.0  0.0  13056   460 ?        Ss   Apr05   0:11
postgres: logger process
postgres  3944  0.0  8.4 152192 87196 ?        Ss   Apr05   1:35
postgres: writer process
postgres  3945  0.0  0.0 152192   684 ?        Ss   Apr05   0:10
postgres: wal writer process
postgres  3946  0.0  0.1 152980  1380 ?        Ss   Apr05  29:13
postgres: autovacuum launcher process
postgres  3947  0.1  0.0  13916  1020 ?        Ss   Apr05 118:23
postgres: stats collector process


so there's one connection there, and the others are the fixed processes.

Check out the check_postgres nagios plugin:

Hello

We use this plugin. Save it under /etc/munin/plugins/pg_connections and
update the file /etc/munin/plugin-conf.d/postgres with:

-------------------
[pg_connection]
     user postgres
-------------------

-------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/sh
#
# Plugin to monitor PostgreSQL connections.
#
# Parameters:
#
#       config   (required)
#       autoconf (optional - only used by munin-config)
#
# Magic markers (optional - used by munin-config and some installation
# scripts):
#%# family=auto
#%# capabilities=autoconf

PID_FILE="/var/lib/pgsql/data/postmaster.pid"

if [ "$1" = "autoconf" ]; then
  if [  -f $PID_FILE ]; then
    echo yes
    exit 0
  else
    echo "no (Service not running)"
    exit 1
  fi
else
  if [ "$1" = "suggest" ]; then
    ls -1 /tmp/
    exit 0
  fi
fi


if [ "$1" = "config" ]; then

        echo "graph_title Number of connections to the database"
        echo 'graph_args -l 0 '
        echo 'graph_vlabel Number of PostgreSQL connections'
        echo 'graph_category PostgreSQL'
        echo 'graph_period second'
        echo 'graph_info The number of opened connections to PostgreSQL.'
        echo 'established.label established'
        echo 'established.type GAUGE'
        echo 'established.max 500'
        echo 'established.info The number of currently open connections.'
        exit 0
fi

printf 'established.value '
/usr/bin/psql template1 -At -c "SELECT count(*) FROM pg_stat_activity"
-------------------------------------------------

PS.- You have to update the PATHS with the values in your system, and
the  user postgres needs access to your database, for this plugin to work.

And of course this is for munin and not nagios. Sorry.
