Current Sessions

You have the option to select either a specific database or all databases, allowing you to then filter for active sessions and display the associated queries.

From left to right, the above indicators are

• Number of active sessions

• Number of connected sessions

• Database activity graph : Are the sessions on CPU, Waiting, … ?

• Number of currently blocked sessions

By simply clicking on a session, you can delve into its details and gain a comprehensive understanding.

Current Sessions

Blocking Sessions

The interface displays both blocking and blocked sessions. You can access further session details by clicking on a specific session.

Blocking Sessions

From the interface, you have the capability to terminate sessions directly.

For the ability to terminate a session, the user currently accessing the interface needs to hold the read write or admin privilege, and the monitoring user within the PostgreSQL cluster must be granted the role pg_signal_backend

// Grant example
GRANT SELECT ON ALL TABLES IN SCHEMA pg_catalog TO datasentinel;

Execution Plans

Select your database and generate an execution plan from any query.

You can choose the ANALYZE option to execute the query in order to have its overall and step by step execution time statistics.

ANALYZE option is only available for SELECT statements.

When choosing ANALYZE, specify a timeout to set the maximum allowed execution time of the query

The execution plan viewer makes it easy and quick to understand each step.

You have the option to either observe the space usage for individual databases or for all of them.

Result can be grouped based on:

• relations

• schemas

• tablespaces

Cache Usage

Cache usage lets you explore the space consumed by relations in memory (shared_buffers)

For utilizing this functionality, it's necessary to install the pg_buffercache extension across all databases within your instance.

You have the option to either observe the space usage for individual databases or for all of them.
