Webinar | PostgreSQL Troubleshooting Made Easy with pg_gather
When performance issues strike, knowing where to look is half the battle. pg_gather simplifies PostgreSQL troubleshooting by collecting key diagnostic data in one go, so you can quickly identify and resolve problems before they impact your users.
This webinar covered the following topics:
→ Detect table bloat and dead tuples before they slow down queries
→ Identify unused or expensive indexes draining resources
→ Spot blocking and idle-in-transaction sessions causing bottlenecks
→ Analyse database time and wait events to pinpoint contention
→ Review top queries impacting performance and response times
→ Interpret background writer and checkpointer information for I/O tuning
→ Get actionable tuning suggestions for parameters and workloads
This session is perfect for DBAs, DevOps engineers, and developers who manage PostgreSQL in production and want a faster way to get to the root cause of performance problems.
