How to use mk_postgres.py plugin when Postgres only listens on a file system socket?

Troubleshooting

Hello,

CMK version: Checkmk Raw Edition 2.3.0p26
OS version: Debian 12

How do I get mk_postgres.py to connect to a Postgres database that has no TCP port open but only a file system socket? What do I configure as PGPORT (which is mandatory)?

Kind regards,
Robert

Answering my own question: this wasn’t possible until now.

See https://github.com/Checkmk/checkmk/pull/792.
