Bugfixes

Fixed bug where the Connection Usage % chart would sometimes show no data.

PostgreSQL 2.5.4

Wed, 28 May 2025 09:33:33 +0000

Features

Database configuration parameters are now monitored as part of the default feature set. By default, this data is fetched every 24 hours, but this can be adjusted with the Configuration query interval (minutes) variable. This data will be available soon in the Databases App.
Added a new feature set Replication which collects replication lag metrics, postgres.replication.*.
Added a new feature set Locks which collects lock related metrics as well as information about blocking statements in the form of logs.
A new database size metric is now collected, postgres.db_size.
In order to monitor transaction wraparound issues, transaction ID age is now collected in the metric postgres.xid_age.
Added a database unreachable alert template. Note that all alert templates now default to disabled. The recommended approach to use these alerts is to clone them before enabling/changing them.

Enhancements

Top statements are now associated to the database they correspond to. Block hit/read/dirtied/written counts and read/write times are now collected.
When possible, top statements are correlated with pg_stat_activity data to obtain wait event times.
Additional charts added to various sections of the databases app and entity screens.

ℹ️ This version requires ActiveGate version 1.301.0 or higher.

PostgreSQL 2.3.4

Tue, 08 Apr 2025 07:28:55 +0000

Features:

When OneAgent monitoring is configured in the database server, a SAME_AS relationship will be established between the sql:postgres_instance and the corresponding PROCESS_GROUP_INSTANCE.

ℹ️ This version requires ActiveGate version 1.301.0 or higher.

PostgreSQL 2.3.3

Tue, 18 Mar 2025 07:12:39 +0000

Bug fixes:

Fixed bug where the WAL diff size metric would not be collected for replication instances. This metric will now have value 0 instead of null when there is no recovery happening.

ℹ️ This version requires ActiveGate version 1.301.0 or higher.

PostgreSQL 2.3.1

Thu, 30 Jan 2025 14:37:57 +0000

Bug fixes:

Fixed bug where top statements would appear duplicated in the Databases app

Features:

There are now two variables which can be defined at the configuration level, query-interval and heavy-query-interval, which control the frequency with which the Dynatrace queries the database/ingests data. Please see the FAQ section for more details.

PostgreSQL 2.2.6

Tue, 19 Nov 2024 09:54:15 +0000

Bugfixes:

Fixed the top queries not showing for certain non-Grail environment in the Postgres Instance screen.

ℹ️ This version requires ActiveGate version 1.293.0 or higher.

Tue, 12 Nov 2024 13:58:38 +0000

Improvements

Top queries will now no longer collect ALTER statements for security reasons.

Bugfixes:

Fixed the Top queries by execution time section in the Databases app.
Fixed the displayed columns for top statements in the Databases app.

ℹ️ This version requires ActiveGate version 1.293.0 or higher.

PostgreSQL 2.2.2

Fri, 05 Jul 2024 12:52:48 +0000

WARNING This extension requires minimum ActiveGate version 1.293. Please check your version before upgrading.

Bugfixes:

Fixed bug where top queries would not be collected from pg_stat_statements for PostgreSQL 13.

PostgreSQL 2.2.1

Mon, 01 Jul 2024 16:13:47 +0000

WARNING This extension requires minimum ActiveGate version 1.293. Please check your version before upgrading.

Features:

(SaaS only) Added execution plan query support with the database app. For users on SaaS who have access to the Databases app execution plan fetching is now supported. View the Getting started section on the hub tile for more details on how to set it up.

PostgreSQL 2.1.2

Wed, 19 Jun 2024 13:12:41 +0000

Bug fixes:

Query duration as collected by longest_queries is now calculated as clock_timestamp() - query_start. Previously it was computed as now() - query_start which sometimes caused the query duration to be negative.

The reason behind this is that now() or CURRENT_TIMESTAMP represent the start of the transaction and an individual query within the transaction can start later. The clock_timestamp() however returns an actual system cpu clock and can change over the course of the transaction, producing a correct value to subtract query_start from to compute a valid duration.

PostgreSQL 2.1.1

Thu, 13 Jun 2024 12:48:20 +0000

Bug fixes:

[BREAKING CHANGE] Renamed postgres.blk_hit.count metric key to postgres.blks_hit.count to match official Postgres statistics collector name.

Features:

Added an optional endpoint metadata configuration parameter to each endpoint in the monitoring configuration. This parameter will populate the endpoint_metadata attribute of sql:postgres_instance entities and can be used in entity selectors (to facilitate tagging, for example).
The Queries feature set will now collect queries (ingested as logs) from the pg_stat_statements table as well. These new logs can be queried by filtering by event_group = top_queries. Note that for this to work, the pg_stat_statements table needs to be enabled at the database level as per the official docs.
Added metric charts to the Postgres instance view in the Databases app.

Improvements:

Aggregated activities from pg_stat_activity is now collected for all activities, not just the ones associated with a specific datid. That adds monitoring for activites such as autovacuum worker.

PostgreSQL 1.2.0

Fri, 22 Mar 2024 15:35:05 +0000

Improvements:

Monitoring for databases was improved to support all versions of Postgres starting with 11. Previously, it only worked for Postgres 14+.
All metrics were linked to their corresponding Entity Type to make sure the metrics are displayed correctly when Management Zones are activated and are filtered by entity.

Bug fixes:

client_port dimension was removed from the following metrics, because the field bring no valuable information and is too volatile, causing too many distinct timeseries to be generated.
- postgres.activity.active
- postgres.activity.fastpath_function_call
- postgres.activity.idle_in_transaction_aborted
- postgres.activity.idle_in_transaction
- postgres.activity.idle
