Grafana Analysis and Visualization with CA APM

Introduction

A Grafana is a multi-platform open-source analytical and visualization tool that consists of multiple individual panels arranged in a grid. It turns your time-series database (TSDB) data into beautiful graphs and visualizations. The panels interact with configured data sources, AWS CloudWatch, Prometheus, MySQL, InfluxDB, SQL Server, etc.

 Setup Grafana:

  • Refer to the instructions for your OS in the Installation section for instructions.
  • Open your web browser and go to http://localhost:3000/
  • On the login page, type admin for the username and password.

CA APM monitors the performance of applications and lets IT managers diagnose bottlenecks and other problems, it has capabilities to spot anomalies earlier, predict behavior, and enable automatic corrective actions.

PostgreSQL Performance Metrics

We can get the best performance out of their PostgreSQL database by tracking key performance metrics. Keeping these metrics on your dashboard will help. Ignoring these problems could result in a plunge in the productivity of Postgresql. Here I want to explain how to monitor PostgreSQL, I added in details what exactly you should be looking at when monitoring the performance of your database. There are several key metrics you'll definitely want to keep track of when it comes to database performance

Database Connection Parameters

A PostgreSQL database server can have multiple active connections running concurrently in the database. If the number of connections is high, you may need to analyze the state of these user sessions, and terminate idle sessions that are slowing down the server.

PostgreSQL Backup and Recovery Automation

A critical PostgreSQL client contains valuable data, and PostgreSQL databases should be backed up regularly. Its process is quite simple, and it is important to have a clear understanding of the techniques and assumptions.

SQL Dump

The idea behind this dump method is to generate a text file from DataCenter1 with SQL commands that, when fed back to the DataCenter2 server, will recreate the database in the same state as it was at the time of the dump. In this case, if the Client cannot access the primary server, they can have access to the BCP server. PostgreSQL provides the utility program pg_dump for this purpose. The basic usage of this command is:  pg_dump dbname >backupoutputfile.db.
