Here's what I use to db stats to it (again, > php): I haven't tried cacti, but our sysadm has done a little bit of research and concluded "cacti is better". Maybe some day we'll move over. Munin is generating all the graphs statically every fifth minute, while cacti generates them on demand as far as I've understood. The munin approach is pretty bloat, since one usually would watch the graphs much more seldom than what they are generated (at least, we do). That's not really an argument since CPU is cheap nowadays - but a real argument is that the munin approach is less flexible. One would like to adjust the graph (like, min/max values for both axis) while watching quite some times. > $actives_sql = "SELECT COUNT(*) > FROM pg_stat_activity > WHERE current_query NOT ILIKE '<idle>' > AND now() - query_start > '1 second';"; So this one is quite similar to mine ... > $db_stat_sql = "SELECT {$argv[2]} > FROM pg_stat_database > WHERE datname='$db_name';"; I was not aware of this view - it can probably be useful for us. I will add this one when I get the time ... (I'm at vacation now).
