DALIBO is proud to present the first release of POWA, a brand new performance tool for PostgreSQL.
Realtime traffic analysis and dynamic graphs
POWA is a workload analyzer that gives a clear view of the current activity of your PostgreSQL servers with a query runtime graph and a block hit/read graph along with a chart of time consuming request over the specified time period.
If you zoom anywhere in one of the graphs, the chart will adjust and show you which queries were running at that time. If you click on a specific query, you will get additional graphs such as read/write time, number of rows affected, local and shared hit, etc.
A bunch of PL functions are also available to access and manage the stats.
Extending pg_stat_statements
Basically PoWA is a PostgreSQL extension designed to historize information given by the pg_stat_statements extension. It provides SQL SRF to gather useful information on a specified time interval.
This first release is ready for production but of course we will continue to improve it. Please install it (or test our demo site) and let's us know what you think of it. Right now what we need most is feedback and new ideas, especially to improve the user experience and the graphic interface...
PoWA is available under the PostgreSQL license. The main code is a PostgreSQL extension written in C and SQL. The user interface is based on Perl and Mojolicious. Obviously the stats are stored in a PostgreSQL database :-)
