EDB is a Gartner Magic Quadrant Leader


•  Single management console allows easy visual control

•  Works with both PostgreSQL and Postgres Plus

•  Start/stop, configure, define and manage storage, security and database objects via single graphical console

MONITOR MANAGE TUNE

Only solution available that combines all three tasks into one tool

EDB Postgres Enterprise Manager (PEM)


Unmanaged Hosts

An efficient distributed architecture perfectly suited for managing, monitoring and tuning large numbers of Postgres servers in multiple locations

Monitoring Data

Enterprise Management Connections

PEM Clients or Web Clients

Managed Hosts

with PEM Agents

Enterprise Manager Agent Installed on each managed machine; collects data on OS and database health and operations PEM

Server

Enterprise Manager Server Centralized storage for agent-collected data and client dashboards

Host Database Management

Connection

Enterprise Manager Clients User GUI console with global at-a-glance monitoring dashboards; used to carry out centralized database administration and tuning

Platform-specific and web clients

Highlights of PEM 5.0

•  Alert Level Specific Notifications

•  Log Analysis Expert

•  Custom Probes

•  Auto-Discovery of Managed Servers

•  Remote Monitoring

•  Download Tuning Recommendations

•  Log OS Metrics for Backend Server Processes

•  Better Zooming and Granularity Control

•  Cross Server Charts

•  Monitor Streaming Replication

Ease Of Use Richer Dashboards


Model your Support Staff Rotation in PEM for Email Alerting

•  Decide who is externally notified of alerts by creating the email groups.

•  Define different email envelope information, depending on time of day.


Automate Notification or Actions on over 225 Predefined or Customizable Alerts (1 of 2)

•  Create and manage alerts

•  Examples – running low on disk space, server down, last vacuum, total table bloat, etc.

•  Set the low, medium and high threshold


Automate Notification or Actions on over 225 Predefined or Customizable Alerts (2 of 2)

•  Choose when and who to send email notifications to.

•  Decide when to send SNMP traps

•  Further execute any external script.


•  Generate reports on stats like locks and queries that are collected by the Log Manager

•  Collects information based on historical csv data, not dependent on live logs.

•  First configure Log Manager to enable collection of log files.

•  Once you have logs collected, use the Log Analysis Expert to select which reports to generate

•  More details in the ‘Log Analysis Expert’ section of the Online Help

Better Understand Database Activities with Log Analysis Expert


Gather Any Custom Information You Want With Custom Probes (1 of 3)

•  Probes are used to gather metrics for alerts and dashboard charts.

•  View all System Probes.

•  Add New or Modify existing probes to suit your needs.



•  Define the columns that will be used to store the data collected.

•  If ‘Graphable’, the column will be available on Charts and Capacity Manager.

•  Control if the metric is Point In Time or Cumulative



•  If this is a SQL Probe, enter the SQL SELECT statement to be executed by the probe in the Code tab.

•  If this is a Batch probe, enter the shell or .bat script to be invoked by the probe.


•  Locate databases that reside on servers with Agents installed on them.

•  After you install agents −  Select them in the tree

and choose Management -> Auto Discovery to open the dialog shown.

−  Then select the database server to have the server property fields filled in

•  More details in the ‘Automatic Discovery of Server’ section of the Online Help

Auto Discovery of Managed Servers For Easier Deployment


•  Allow remote monitoring of servers (without installing agents using direct JDBC connections), from the agent running on the PEM server −  Ignores OS level stats,

disables features like Server Startup, Audit/Log/Capacity Manager, Tuning/Deployment Wizard

•  Create Server and select Remote monitoring in PEM Agent Tab.
