What is pghealth?
pghealth is a PostgreSQL health check tool designed for teams that want to ensure their databases run at peak performance, scalability, and reliability.
Unlike traditional one-off assessments or manual DBA reviews, pghealth provides continuous PostgreSQL diagnostics, automated health scoring, and actionable recommendations β all without installing agents or disrupting your systems.
It goes far beyond basic monitoring, delivering clear health scoring, proactive recommendations, and enterprise-level support for mission-critical PostgreSQL databases.
Why pghealth?
Running PostgreSQL at scale is challenging. Performance issues often remain hidden until they cause outages.
Traditional health checks are manual, slow, and error-prone. Even with monitoring systems in place, DBAs often struggle to answer:
- What is the current health of my PostgreSQL cluster?
- Which queries, indexes, or settings pose the biggest risk?
- How fast is my data growing, and when will storage or bloat become critical?
- Am I meeting SLA requirements, or are silent risks building up?
pghealth answers these questions with precision, providing clear scoring, diagnostics, and preventive recommendations β all without requiring external consultants or heavy installations.
