Also, if you *are* talking about prometheus-community/postgres_exporter, 
then note that pg_postmaster_start_time_seconds comes from the sample 
queries.yaml, which won't be used unless you're using the 
-extend.query-path flag or the PG_EXPORTER_EXTEND_QUERY_PATH environment 
variable to point to a copy of that file. See:

https://github.com/prometheus-community/postgres_exporter#adding-new-metrics-via-a-config-file
https://github.com/prometheus-community/postgres_exporter/blob/v0.11.1/queries.yaml#L9-L15
