Cannot enable exporter flags via pmm-admin

I’m converting this to the request of managing Flags/collectors in general.

While the one specific collector will be worked on

Hi

Thank you for the report and feedback.

Proposed workaround from engineering

@dgb sure

1. Go to env where PG exporter is running

2. List running process there (for example ps aux | grep postgres or use different command)

3. You should see something like:

So in my case postgres_exporter running under ID 16741.

1. Use kill ID (from previous command)

2. Now just run this binary again manually, but add one more flag to it and it is: collector.database_wraparound

So in my case it would be:

As you can see I just copy it out with all flags and added collector.database_wraparound to the end.

1. Now it should run again with all provided flags. After while PMM should start scraping as usual and you should see collector enabled between flags of running PG exporter and also in output of PG exporter endpoint. Like this you should be able to customise (add/remove) all flags you need.
