Assuming it can do something with it rather than just run a plain query. If so, I suggest you take a look at the check_postgres nagios plugin or the munin plugins for some examples of which SQL to run to get the interesting metrics back that you want. Some quick googling shows several examples of how to monitor with custom SQL queries, but I don't know enough (or anything) about SCOM to recommend any of them in particular. -- Magnus Hagander Me: http://www.hagander.net/ Work: http://www.redpill-linpro.com/

I was more interested in being able to instrument the Pg internals, connection counts, transaction rates, RAM usage etc. In a similar sort of way to MS-SQL. Running transactions against an individual DB is still useful but I was hoping to do better.

I am not sure whether there is an instrumentation interface into the DB so haven't yet looked at rolling our own. if you have perl (strawberryperl ?) on the postgres server, you could use the checkpostgresql.pl script meant for Nagios from the Bucardo folks, it will allow you to poll for 100s of status and performance metrics, even things like table bloat. -- john r pierce 37N 122W somewhere on the middle of the left coast -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
[GENERAL] Monitoring Pg servers with Microsoft SCOM
I am in the process of deploying Microsoft System Centre Operations Manager and was hoping that somebody had either developed or knew of where I could get hold of a management pack for PostgreSQL. I am not sure whether there is an instrumentation interface into the DB so haven't yet looked at rolling our own. Any comments appreciated.
