PostgreSQL Required Monitoring

[Andrew Kerber <andrew.kerber@xxxxxxxxx>]

I am a fairly experienced Oracle DBA, and we are starting to move in to the PostgreSQL world.  I would expect the standard monitoring items are required for mission critical postgres apps, Ie, disk space, wal log space, log monitoring, process counts,software running, connection available on the correct port, CPU usage.

Are there additional PostgreSQL specific items that need to be monitored?  if so, what items?
