Hello

I am using this SQL exporter ([GitHub - justwatchcom/sql\_exporter: Flexible SQL Exporter for Prometheus](https://github.com/justwatchcom/sql_exporter) ). I want to know if there is a way to use this for collecting rds custom metrics (like currently running queries)? Also, I want to use .pgpass file to pass credentials for this. Is it possible with this exporter or any other? PLease help!  
Thanks
