PostgreSQL

PostgreSQL database service is a widely used open-source relational database management system. It emphasizes reliability, feature robustness, and performance.

Use the PostgreSQL app to get out-of-the-box visibility into the overall health of your PostgreSQL DB instances. This app helps you answer questions such as the following:

  • What is the throughput volume? Does it seem normal?
  • Is the database query performance healthy? Are there high latency or error rates?
  • Are the database instances reaching their connection limits? Are they returning connection errors?

The PostgreSQL app installs the following Datasets by default:

  • Instance
  • Metrics
  • Log Events
  • Error Logs
  • Query Logs
  • PG Stat Activity Events
  • Telegraf Events

The PostgreSQL app ingests data using Fluentbit and Telegraf to collect PostgreSQL DB logs and metrics. See Install the PostgreSQL app to install the app and configure data collection.
