PostgreSQL DB pattern fails to discover PostgreSQL databases when then are running within a Docker container - Known Error

PostgreSQL DB pattern fails to discover PostgreSQL databases when then are running within a Docker container Description The PostgreSQL DB horizontal discovery pattern fails to discover Postgre SQL databases when then are running within a Docker container.

In this situation, the command line of the postgresql process is just 'postgres'. The process classifier requires that -D will appear in the process arguments. For that reason the PostgreSQL DB pattern is not triggered and the Postgresql database instance is not discovered. The pattern also assumes the config directory is available in the command line, which is also not the case here.

Steps to Reproduce

Run discovery on a computer where PostgreSQL 11 is running within a Docker container.
