DALIBO is proud to present the third release of PoWA, the PostgreSQL Workload
Analyzer.
Realtime traffic analysis and dynamic graphs
PoWA is a workload analyzer that gives a clear view of the activity of
your PostgreSQL servers with a query runtime graph and a block hit/read graph
along with a chart of time-consuming queries 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.
Better predicate analyzer
The pg_qualstats extension stores
new counters. It's now possible to know the most executed predicates in
relation to all the related queries. It also tracks non-normalized queries so
that it’s possible to execute an EXPLAIN of any query tracked by pg_stat_statements.
Database global optimization
PoWA is now able to use statistics about every predicate used by any query
executed on a database to suggest the smallest index set that optimizes every one of those predicates.
In particular, the heuristics place heavy emphasis in consolidating many
indexes into one by giving preference to definitions spanning multiple
columns. This can provide new information about the actual load and correlation
between predicates that are traditionally hard to discover for the DBA.
Index suggestion check
Thanks to the HypoPG extension, the benefits of the
suggested index creations can automatically be checked by running the queries
against hypothetical indexes.
You can see instantly if the suggested index is relevant and how much it'll
improve the query.
