+## Troubleshooting
+
+To troubleshoot issues with the `postgres` collector, run the `python.d.plugin` with the debug option enabled. The output
+should give you clues as to why the collector isn't working.
+
+First, navigate to your plugins directory, usually at `/usr/libexec/netdata/plugins.d/`. If that's not the case on your
+system, open `netdata.conf` and look for the setting `plugins directory`. Once you're in the plugin's directory, switch
+to the `netdata` user.
+
+```bash
+cd /usr/libexec/netdata/plugins.d/
+sudo su -s /bin/bash netdata
+```
+
+You can now run the `python.d.plugin` to debug the collector:
+
+```bash
+./python.d.plugin postgres debug trace
+```
