PostgreSQL

Monitoring metrics for PostgreSQL is crucial to optimize performance, detect issues early, ensure resource efficiency, enhance security, plan for scalability, validate backups, and analyze long-term.

Metrics
Description

Postgres Status

Indicate PostgreSQL Status

Shared Buffers Size

Caches data to reduce disk I/O in PostgreSQL

Available Storage in GB

Provide details for total available storage

Available Connections

Calculate the available connections

Maximum Active Transaction Time by DB

Retrieve max transaction duration for active PostgreSQL sessions

Cache Hit Rate

Showing the cache hit rate percentage

Transactions

Total committed transactions in PostgreSQL over time

Database size in GB

Size of all databases in GB

Conflicts/Deadlocks

Track PostgreSQL deadlocks and conflicts.

Rows

Get PostgreSQL tuple statistics: fetch, return, insert, update, delete.

Postgres Status:

Postgres Status

Provide information about database status.

Uptime Status

Monitor PostgreSQL uptime metrics for performance insights. Enhance database reliability and performance.

Shared Buffers Size In MB

Optimize PostgreSQL performance by analyzing shared buffer size in megabytes. Ensure efficient memory allocation for improved database responsiveness and reduced query execution times.

Available Storage in GB

This expression calculates the aggregated available disk space in gigabytes within a PostgreSQL environment, contributing to comprehensive storage monitoring and capacity planning for optimized system performance.

Available Connections

This expression computes the effective available PostgreSQL connections by subtracting active connections and reserved superuser connections from the maximum allowed connections. Useful for monitoring and optimizing database connection utilization in a specified context.

Maximum Active Transaction Time by DB

This expression captures the peak transaction duration for active processes, providing insights into transaction performance within a specific context.

Cache Hit Rate

This expression calculates the hit ratio percentage for database block access, indicating the proportion of successfully retrieved blocks compared to total reads and hits over time.

Transactions

This expression measures the rate of committed transactions over time in a specified context, providing insights into the frequency of successful transaction commits.

Database size in GB

Measure size of critical PostgreSQL databases (excluding system databases) in gigabytes. Useful for managing storage resources and optimizing database performance in a specified environment.

Conflicts/Deadlocks

Calculate the sum of deadlocks and conflicts rates in a PostgreSQL database. Monitor and analyze these metrics to identify and address performance issues for enhanced database reliability

Rows

This set of expressions calculates the summed rates of returned, inserted, updated, and deleted tuples per second, providing insights into the transactional activity of a specified context in PostgreSQL.
