PostgreSQL is a highly extensible and scalable relational database which can accommodate several concurrent users. Because of its sophisticated design, it doesn't require much effort for the upkeep of the server. However, for high profile installations, where high performance and continuous availability are a necessity, PostgreSQL monitoring is indispensable. Applications Manager's PostgreSQL monitoring tool helps database administrators by proactively keeping track of critical performance metrics for ensuring constant uptime and increased efficiency of their database system.
Applications Manager's PostgreSQL monitoring offers a wealth of valuable metrics that provide insights into the health and performance of your database. Here are some of the PostgreSQL metrics that you can monitor:
By monitoring these key performance metrics, you can gain a comprehensive understanding of your PostgreSQL database's health and performance. This empowers you to identify potential issues like bottlenecks, slow queries, or resource constraints before they significantly impact user experience or application functionality. To learn more about how Applications Manager tracks each of these PostgreSQL monitoring metrics, visit our PostgreSQL performance monitoring page.
Take a deep dive into all the database operations that run on your server with best in-class PostgreSQL Monitoring tools. With Applications Manager's Postgres monitoring tool, track slow database performance by monitoring the number of active connections with the database. While most PostgreSQL performance monitoring tools monitor the overall database health and availability by executing remote scripts, Applications Manager PostgreSQL monitoring tool offers in-depth monitoring by collecting metrics such as idle locks that are responsible for the long waits, slow queries, disk and buffer stats such as cache hit ratio, disk usage, buffer reads/min, etc.
With Applications Manager PostgreSQL health monitoring tool, set dynamic baselines to detect anomalies in database performance that can cause gradual performance degradation and unexpected downtimes. Configure thresholds for critical performance parameters and trigger instant notifications in case of bottlenecks. Resolve issues faster with root cause analysis that drills down to the source of the problem and ensure issues don't reappear for all round PostgreSQL monitoring.

Queries are the best way to find out whether your database is up and running 24x7. Since databases run innumerable queries in their day to day operations, as part of your Postgres database monitoring plans, it is ideal to selectively monitor Postgresql queries that are critical to measure the database activity and health. Applications Manager PostgreSQL monitoring system gives you the means to add these important queries in the console and monitor the performance statistics of these queries by collecting metrics such as query status, last run time, execution time, etc. These queries can be associated to user-defined thresholds, violation of which triggers an instant alert notifications. Monitoring PostgreSQL queries is especially useful in identifying performance bottlenecks in networks which are connected to several databases and resolving it by deducing the exact location of the issues in the databases.

Applications Manager PostgreSQL monitoring software is among the best PostgreSQL monitoring tools, not just for keeping track of crucial parameters but also for analyzing components within the database system to deliver advanced analytics. View attribute-wise historical performance report of your database and analyse the performance trends of your database parameters. Unlike other PostgreSQL monitoring tools, Applications Manager enables you to predict future growth and utilization trends of your databases and make informed decisions regarding load distribution and capacity planning.
Slow or inefficient queries are one of the most common causes of performance degradation. With Applications Manager’s PostgreSQL query monitoring, DBAs can analyze long-running queries, view execution details, and quickly identify the source of delays.
When replication falls behind, recovery objectives are put at risk. PostgreSQL monitoring helps teams track WAL activity, replication slots, and apply lag in real time to detect sync issues before they escalate.
Locks can halt transactions and disrupt application flow. Applications Manager provides visibility into blocking chains, wait events, and problematic SQL, helping DBAs eliminate contention and keep databases responsive.
In addition to PostgreSQL monitoring, Applications Manager's database monitoring capability makes it possible to monitor other database servers like:
Applications Manager offers a ton of features and capabilities for monitoring the performance of your PostgreSQL database server without the requirement of setting up an agent. You can get a hands-on experience of our PostgreSQL monitoring tool and explore our comprehensive PostgreSQL monitoring dashboard to know if it suits your business needs.
It allows us to track crucial metrics such as response times, resource utilization, error rates, and transaction performance. The real-time monitoring alerts promptly notify us of any issues or anomalies, enabling us to take immediate action.
