Postgres Enterprise Manager Agent 8.3

Postgres Enterprise Manager (PEM) Agent is a software developed by EnterpriseDB that serves as a tool for managing and monitoring Postgres databases. PEM Agent is an essential component of the PEM system, which provides a comprehensive solution for administering and maintaining large-scale Postgres deployments.

PEM Agent works as a data collector that gathers information from Postgres instances and sends it to the PEM Server for processing. The agent is installed on the same machine as the Postgres instance it is monitoring, and it communicates with other components of the PEM system over secure connections.

The PEM Agent can monitor various aspects of Postgres databases, such as server performance, resource usage, database schema, and user activity. It can generate alerts based on predefined thresholds or custom rules, helping DBAs and developers identify potential problems before they escalate into major issues.

The PEM Agent also provides a set of features for database management, such as user and permission management, backup and restore operations, and query analysis. These features are accessible through the PEM web interface and require appropriate credentials for access.

The PEM Agent is a critical tool for managing Postgres databases in large-scale environments. It enables efficient monitoring, management, and optimization of Postgres, ensuring high availability and performance for mission-critical applications.
