Webinar Replay: An Introduction to Performance Monitoring for PostgreSQL
The replay of our webinar on monitoring PostgreSQL for performance is now available to watch online
If you’re asking yourself some of the following questions, then these 60 minutes are for you:
- PostgreSQL offers many metrics through various status overviews and commands, but which ones really matter?
- How do I trend and alert on them?
- What is the meaning behind these metrics?
- And what are some of the most common causes for performance problems in production?
To operate PostgreSQL efficiently, you need to have insight into database performance and make sure it is at optimal levels.
During this webinar we discussed this and more in ordinary, plain DBA language. We also took a look at some of the tools available for PostgreSQL monitoring and trending; and demonstrated how to leverage ClusterControl’s PostgreSQL metrics, dashboards, custom alerting and other features to track and optimize the performance of your system.

Speaker
Sebastian Insausti has loved technology since his childhood, when he did his first computer course using Windows 3.11. And from that moment he was decided on what his profession would be. He has since built up experience with MySQL, PostgreSQL, HAProxy, WAF (ModSecurity), Linux (RedHat, CentOS, OL, Ubuntu server), Monitoring (Nagios), Networking and Virtualization (VMWare, Proxmox, Hyper-V, RHEV). He’s also a speaker and has given a few talks locally on InnoDB Cluster and MySQL Enterprise together with an Oracle team.
This webinar builds upon a related blog post by Sebastian: https://severalnines.com/blog/performance-cheat-sheet-postgresql.
We look forward to “seeing” you there!
