Hi=2C

I was interested in finding out how other people are monitoring their postg=
res database estates.
We use psql and pgAdmin for day to day dba admin tasks=2C but I was wonderi=
ng if there were any=20
good tools available for monitoring such things as whether all of my postgr=
es cluster's were up and=20
running (similar to oracle enterprise manager dare i say it)? Are people ju=
st using shell scripts=20
scheduled from cron to check such things? This could become an issue if you=
 had 100's of postgres=20
instances and you need to roll out new monitoring scripts and cron jobs to =
each...

On the database performance side of things=2C I've looked at pgFouine which=
 is very useful=2C and I've=20
also just found pgStatspack=2C but are there any other modules=2C scripts o=
r tools that=20
you would recommend to help with database administration? They don't necess=
arilly have to be free either =3B-)

Thanks in advance.
