pgBackRest Metrics Exporter Configuration

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

Through this configuration option, you can configure the port used to expose pgBackRest metrics for Prometheus collection.
