NAME

       pmdapostgresql - PostgreSQL database PMDA

DESCRIPTION

       pmdapostgresql is a Performance Co-Pilot PMDA which extracts live performance data from a running
       PostgreSQL database.

INSTALLATION

       pmdapostgresql uses a configuration file from (in this order):

       •   /etc/pcpdbi.conf

       •   $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/postgresql/postgresql.conf

       This  file  can  contain  overridden  values  (Perl  code)  for  the  settings  listed  at  the  start of
       pmdapostgresql.pl, namely:

       •   database name (see DBI(3) for details)

       •   database username

       Once this is setup, you can access the names and values for the postgresql performance metrics  by  doing
       the following as root:

               # cd $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/postgresql
               # ./Install

       If you want to undo the installation, do the following as root:

               # cd $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/postgresql
               # ./Remove

       pmdapostgresql  is  launched  by  pmcd(1)  and should never be executed directly.  The Install and Remove
       scripts notify pmcd(1) when the agent is installed or removed.
