This works fine for everything nagios-like: https://bucardo.org/check_postgres/check_postgres.pl.html#txn_time Other solutions may be found via the PostgreSQL wiki - as you noted, this is (should be) monitored, so almost everything which can monitor PostgreSQL covers this. (which raises the obvious question - did you monitor your server or did you just use the common "shouting user" approach? ;)) Regards, Christoph -- Spare Space
