Talk about pgcenter utility - what is it, how to use it, how to find problems related with postgresql performance

 

PgCenter It's well known that PostgreSQL has rich activity statistics that allow a better understanding of its internal processes. Top-like interface for viewing stats. System resource utilization (cpu, memory, storage, networking). PostgreSQL general utilization (connections, autovacuum, qps) Common admin tasks.

In particular, they help to track changes and detecting and predicting problems. At the same time, statistics also have weaknesses, such as a lack of built-in tools for working with statistics. The PostgreSQL community, however, offers a variety of tools that have a multitude of features that help to address this.


It provides a convenient interface for working with PostgreSQL statistics and an easy way for standard admin tasks, such as, dealing with configuration and logs.

I downloaded the rpm from https://github.com/lesovsky/pgcenter/releases


Usage

The same options as in the psql:

pgcenter -h 127.0.0.1 -p 5432 -U postgres -d dbname

pgcenter -U postgres dbname

pgcenter dbname

pgcenter --port 5432 --dbname postgres --no-password


Interface Overview

 




Troubleshoot 

 

load average? – check cpu/disks usage.

us – check queries/activity.

sy, si, hi – check system/kernel/hardware.

wa – check queries, disks activity.

mem/swap – revise shared_buffers/work_mem.

dirty/writeback – write activity, disks utilization.

 

rollbacks – check postgres and application logs for errors.

deadlocks – check postgres log, review pg_locks.

conflicts – check pg_stat_database_conflicts, raise delays, enable feedback.

temporary files – check logs, pg_stat_statements, work_mem (carefully).
