Owing to the ability to operate on heterogeneous platforms, PostgreSQL databases have become the preferred backend for many mission-critical service offerings. A second’s non-availability of the server, a sudden or steady erosion of free space in one or more of its tablespaces, ineffective caching by the server, and intense locking can cause serious harm, not only to the performance of the PostgreSQL server in question, but also the services that rely on it.

Performance monitoring of PostgreSQL is essential to ensure optimal database performance, identify bottlenecks, and maintain system efficiency. By monitoring metrics such as query execution time, resource utilization, and database locks, organizations can proactively address performance issues, optimize database configuration, and improve overall application responsiveness. Timely detection of performance degradation can prevent downtime, enhance user experience, and support scalable growth, making PostgreSQL performance monitoring indispensable for maintaining high-performing database environments.

AIOps-powered PostgreSQL database monitoring

eG Enterprise is simple to deploy and effortless to manage:

  • Intelligent domain-aware auto-deploy and auto-discovery technologies understand database dependencies between cloud, application, middleware, hardware, network, storage and more.
  • Out-of-the-box metric thresholds and AIOps-powered auto-baselining provide ready-to-go alerting and anomaly detection without manual effort and configuration.
  • AIOps intelligent correlation technologies prevent alert storms and provide one-click root-cause detailed diagnostics for rapid troubleshooting. Ensure that only database related problems are routed to database administrators.
  • eG Enterprise’s simple, intuitive interface is suitable for use by the whole organization including helpdesk operators, platform engineers, application developers and management.

  • Deploy and start monitoring without any need for professional services or extensive training. Available to deploy as turnkey managed SaaS or for deployment in cloud or on-premises to suit your data governance and compliance requirements.

Single-Pane-of-Glass experience for PostgreSQL databases for the whole organization

  • A unified overview across all of your database environments. With eG Enterprise, you can monitor PostgreSQL instances alongside all your other on-prem or cloud databases including SQL Server, Snowflake, Amazon Aurora, MariaDB and more - in the same console. No need to switch between tools.
  • Transferable licensing that moves with your data and users as you migrate between database environments and technologies for cost-effective and continuous insights.
  • Benchmark and measure the success of database migrations, for example when moving from on-premises servers to a cloud environment, using both live and historical reporting.
PostgreSQL Database monitoring
  • Deep API integrations ensure you capture metrics and logs unique to each database, cloud and infrastructure technology.
  • A wealth of ready-made reports and dashboards that require no query languages - plus GUI custom report and dashboard tools for bespoke needs. A unified view for your whole organization.
  • Securely provide the wider team with granular RBAC (Role Based Access Control) to database insights without providing explicit database access to every user.

Total PostgreSQL database observability in context

  • Powerful AIOps-engine correlates in real time metrics, events, logs and traces from every tier of the applications and infrastructure associated with PostgreSQL.
  • Synthetic and Real User Monitoring (RUM) combine to continuously and proactively measure the health and performance of the end-to-end services supported by PostgreSQL and other databases.
  • Track tens of thousands of infrastructure metrics out-of-the-box whether in cloud or on-premises.
  • AIOps-powered auto-baselining, with metric thresholds and alerting out-of-the-box pinpoint issues and provide detailed root-cause diagnostics.
  • Monitors the underlying infrastructure on-premises or in cloud with support for over 650 application, infrastructure and technology stacks.

Instant answers to key questions in PostgreSQL environments

eG Enterprise enables database administrators to find quick and accurate answers to performance questions, such as:

  • Is the database server available? If so, how quickly does it repond to client queries?
  • Is the buffer cache utilized optimally, or are requests for heap blocks and index blocks being increasingly serviced by direct disk accesses?
  • Is any tablespace running low on free space? If so, which one?
  • How well does the background writer perform checkpointing? Is too much I/O load being imposed by the writer in the process of checkpointing?
  • Are too many rollbacks occurring on any database? If so, which one?
  • Are indexes used effectively?
  • Are there any useless/unused indexes on the server? Which ones are these?
  • Have too many sequential scans occurred on any table?
  • Are inserts, updates, and deletes happening too slowly on any table?
  • Is any table experiencing extreme or major issues while querying data from the server?
  • Does any user have too many idle connections on the server?
  • Is any user’s connection waiting for a locked resource to be released?
  • Are too many locks being currently held on the server? Which lock mode is the maximum?
  • Are any queries running for too long a time on the server? If so, which ones are these?
