Hi all,
I'm evaluating the check_postgres program.  We are running postgres 8.3.
Does anybody have any experience with this monitoring software they would
like to share?  I'm specifically interested in the 'postgres_bloat' program
but
would welcome any comments about anything germaine to check_postgres.

Thank you,

I use it, it works fine, lots of development.  Note that bloat
checking is only as accurate as your last analyze.

check_postgres works fine and perfectly maintained.

If you are looking something for Zabbix, you may want to try my project as
well: https://bitbucket.org/rvs/ztc/ - good portion of postgres items are
actually rewrite of check_postgres in python.

It's a nice tool, but it has lots of bugs, and a new release usually
fixes 3 and introduces 2 new ones.  So I'm a little careful about
upgrading.
