PostgreSQL Überwachung
Überwachen Sie PostgreSQL-Transaktionen, Verbindungen, Replikation und die Vacuum-Leistung in Echtzeit – ganz ohne Konfiguration.
Warum überwachen? PostgreSQL?
PostgreSQL ist die weltweit fortschrittlichste Open-Source-Relationaldatenbank, auf die man sich bei kritischen Workloads – von Finanzsystemen bis hin zu Geodatenanwendungen – verlassen kann. Die Überwachung von PostgreSQL ist unerlässlich, um lang laufende Abfragen zu erkennen, eine Überlastung der Verbindungen zu verhindern, den Zustand der Replikation zu verfolgen und Vacuum-Vorgänge zu optimieren. Die PostgreSQL-Integration von Xitoring bietet umfassende Datenbank-Observability.
Was wir Monitor
Active Connections
Number of currently active connections to the PostgreSQL server.
Transactions per Second
Rate of committed and rolled-back transactions.
Tuple Operations
Rate of inserted, updated, deleted, and fetched tuples across all databases.
Dead Tuples
Number of dead tuples waiting for vacuum, indicating potential table bloat.
Cache Hit Ratio
Percentage of data requests served from shared buffers without disk access.
Replication Lag
Bytes or seconds behind the primary in streaming replication.
WAL Generation Rate
Rate of Write-Ahead Log data being generated.
Lock Waits
Number of queries waiting to acquire locks on database objects.
Temp Files Created
Number and size of temporary files created for query processing.
Database Size
Total disk space used by each database including indexes.
Idle in Transaction
Connections that are idle inside an open transaction, potentially holding locks.
Checkpoints
Frequency and duration of checkpoint operations.
Konfigurierbar Alarmauslöser
Richten Sie benutzerdefinierte Trigger in Ihrem Dashboard ein, um benachrichtigt zu werden, sobald die Kennzahlen von „PostgreSQL“ Ihre festgelegten Schwellenwerte überschreiten.

Active Connections
entscheidendFires when active connections approach max_connections, risking new connection refusal and application errors.
Replication Lag
entscheidendTriggers when streaming replication falls behind, risking data inconsistency between primary and replicas.
Dead Tuples
WarnungAlerts when dead tuple count grows beyond threshold, indicating vacuum is falling behind and table bloat is increasing.
Cache Hit Ratio
WarnungFires when cache hit ratio drops below threshold, indicating excessive disk I/O and potential memory pressure.
Lock Waits
WarnungTriggers when queries are blocked waiting for locks, indicating contention that degrades performance.
Transaction Rate Drop
entscheidendAlerts when transaction throughput drops significantly, indicating a potential database hang or performance issue.
Importance of PostgreSQL Monitoring
PostgreSQL handles mission-critical data for enterprises worldwide. Without proper monitoring, table bloat, replication drift, and connection exhaustion can lead to data corruption, outages, and unrecoverable failures.
- Detect long-running queries and lock contention early
- Prevent table bloat with vacuum performance tracking
- Monitor streaming replication for data consistency
- Identify connection leaks before pool exhaustion
- Track WAL generation for storage capacity planning

Erste Schritte in Protokoll
Install Xitogent on your server
If you haven't already, install the lightweight Xitogent monitoring agent on your server.
curl -s https://xitoring.com/install.sh | sudo bash -s -- --key=YOUR_API_KEYCreate a monitoring user in PostgreSQL
Create a dedicated read-only user for Xitogent to collect metrics:
CREATE USER xitoring WITH PASSWORD 'your_secure_password';
GRANT pg_monitor TO xitoring;Enable the PostgreSQL integration
Use the Xitoring dashboard or CLI to enable the PostgreSQL integration with the monitoring credentials.
sudo xitogent integrateConfigure alert thresholds (optional)
Set custom thresholds for metrics like replication lag, dead tuples, or connection count to get notified when something needs attention.
