Hi=2C

I was interested in finding out how other people are monitoring their postg=
res database estates.
We use psql and pgAdmin for day to day dba admin tasks=2C but I was wonderi=
ng if there were any=20
good tools available for monitoring such things as whether all of my postgr=
es cluster's were up and=20
running (similar to oracle enterprise manager dare i say it)? Are people ju=
st using shell scripts=20
scheduled from cron to check such things? This could become an issue if you=
had 100's of postgres=20
instances and you need to roll out new monitoring scripts and cron jobs to =
each...

On the database performance side of things=2C I've looked at pgFouine which=
is very useful=2C and I've=20
also just found pgStatspack=2C but are there any other modules=2C scripts o=
r tools that=20
you would recommend to help with database administration? They don't necess=
arilly have to be free either =3B-)

Thanks in advance.

Yeah, that's what we use too. check_postgres is an incredibly great
little tool.

Excellent=2C I'll take a look. Although we don't use nagios=2C it looks as =
though we can use this
in standalone scripts=2C so could be very useful.

Hi,



I was interested in finding out how other people are monitoring
their postgres database estates.

We use psql and pgAdmin for day to day dba admin tasks, but I was
wondering if there were any

good tools available for monitoring such things as whether all of
my postgres cluster's were up and

running (similar to oracle enterprise manager dare i say it)? Are
people just using shell scripts

scheduled from cron to check such things? This could become an
issue if you had 100's of postgres

instances and you need to roll out new monitoring scripts and cron
jobs to each...
