It does similar things - getting data from the system tables - but it automatically discovers all databases, shows data for all them, graphs and trends, and "knows" quite a bit about Postgres, so it removes the need for the bit of know- how on the users part to get effective monitoring and alerting. http://www.logicmonitor.com/monitoring/databases/postgres-monitoring/ (Of course, also monitors all the standard OS stuff (CPU, swap rate, etc) and non-standard stuff.) -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
