Database Server Safety Nets: Options for Predictive Server Analytics
Error message
You are not authorized to post comments.Joe Conway, credativ USA; Jeff Hamann, Forest Informatics, Inc.
Server monitoring is usually reactive in nature. Some predefined threshold is exceeded, an alert is sent, and by the time you receive the alert, something bad has already happened. Wouldn’t it be nice to be able to foresee trouble before it rears its ugly head? We present our initial investigation into using analytical tools available within the R statistical environment to easily monitor server activity, predict potential performance problems, and possibly prevent faults on PostgreSQL database servers.
