How to Improve PostgreSQL Monitoring and Observability with PMM

PostgreSQL has often been called the most advanced open source database in the world. However, many organizations have complex environments that require deep, actionable insights into their applications and databases to ensure that everything is running optimally. Percona Monitoring and Management (PMM) is an open source database monitoring, observability and management solution that allows users to observe and understand the health of their systems, explore new patterns in database behavior and perform database management operations no matter where they are located – on-prem or in the cloud. Join Charly Batista, PostgreSQL Tech Lead and Agustin Gallego, Senior Support Engineer for this talk that will:

  • Demonstrate how to set up and use PMM to make the most out of your PostgreSQL deployments.
  • Review the built-in metrics and dashboards, and teach you how to customize it for your environment.
  • Show you how to troubleshoot ongoing issues or do root cause analysis whenever you need to.

After attending the talk, you will be able to spot critical performance issues in PostgreSQL faster, understand the root cause of these problems better, and resolve them more efficiently.
