5.15. Control Center #

PPEM supports the control center that you can use for monitoring the state of instances and troubleshooting them if required.

To view the state of instances using control center, in the navigation panel, go to MonitoringOperation control center.

The control center with the following elements of the web application interface will be displayed:

List of All Instances #

The list of installed instances is displayed in the left block. The color of the dot located next to each instance name indicates the instance status:

  • Green (Green dot icon): The instance is operating normally.

  • Red (Red dot icon): An error occurred during instance operation.

  • Gray (Gray dot icon): Failed to determine the instance state.

Instance Tiles #

Installed instances are displayed as tiles in the upper block. Each tile displays the instance uptime, name, and the server where it is installed.

The tile color indicates the instance status. The correlation between the instance status and tile color is the same as for the dots in the list of all instances.

You can perform the following actions using an instance tile:

  • Go to instance management by clicking Three vertical dots iconGo to instance.

  • Start the psql terminal of an instance by clicking Three vertical dots iconOpen PSQL terminal.

  • Start a stopped instance by clicking Three vertical dots iconStart instance.

Instance Performance Indicators #

The lower block allows monitoring key instance performance indicators using graphs based on metrics collected by pgpro-otel-collector. For the graphs to work properly, you must first install and configure logging and monitoring tools.

To view a graph, in the upper block click the instance tile, and then in the top-right corner of the lower block, select the graph.

For a description of the graphs, refer to Viewing Main Metrics.

You can perform the following actions using the icons in the top-right corner of graphs:

  • To display the specified time period covered by a graph, click Select interval, and then select the time period on the graph.

  • To reset the time period, click Reset.

  • To download a graph in the PNG or CSV format, click Download .png or Download .csv.
