👁️🗨️Agentless & System Metrics
One of the features of Datasentinel is its ability to offer comprehensive monitoring of PostgreSQL clusters without the need for installing agents on your database servers.
This Agentless Approach simplifies the setup and reduces the overhead on your systems. However, a common misconception is that agentless monitoring limits the ability to gather detailed system metrics.
To address this and enhance your monitoring capabilities, Datasentinel supports the integration of the system_stats extension.
When installed on your PostgreSQL server, this extension empowers Datasentinel to collect a wide range of system metrics.
This includes crucial information like CPU usage, memory consumption, disk I/O, and more, providing a deeper insight into the server's performance.
Once the metrics are collected, they are displayed in an identical format across both collection methods: agent-based or agentless.
