Answer from AI
The following tools are often used for monitoring PostgreSQL:
- pg_stat_statements — an extension for collecting statistics on executed queries, helps identify slow and resource-intensive queries.
- pgAdmin — a graphical interface with monitoring and administration capabilities.
- Prometheus + PostgreSQL Exporter — for collecting metrics and building dashboards in Grafana.
- pgBadger — a tool for analyzing PostgreSQL logs and generating performance reports.
- Zabbix or Nagios — monitoring systems with templates for PostgreSQL.
Example of using pg_stat_statements to identify the longest queries:
SELECT query, total_time, calls, mean_time
FROM pg_stat_statements
ORDER BY total_time DESC
LIMIT 10;
These tools allow tracking the database status, load, and identifying bottlenecks.
