Review on pgDash by Bill Forbis

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Very useful Database performance Monitoring Tool

This is a very powerful tool for monitoring your databases. You can see all the metrics and do all the graphs you need. It is easy to use and the support is great. The only thing that I dislike is the need for a licence to use the tool. I also dislike how the tool tries to be all things for all people. Don't get me wrong, it's a great tool, but it can get a bit overwhelming for people who like to do things manually. I use this tool to monitor our database servers and to generate the graphs to show our clients. We also use it to show our clients the actual metrics of our servers.
