pgBackRest Metrics Exporter Configuration

The pgBackRest Metrics Exporter exposes metrics related to backup and restore processes, such as backup duration, amount of data processed, success or failure of operations, among others. Monitoring these metrics is essential to ensure the integrity of backups and readiness for restorations in case of failure or data loss.

Through this configuration option, it is possible to specify the exposure port for pgBackRest metrics to be collected by Prometheus.
