Hi,
I'd like to add to my former mail that currently I have got pgbouncer running and I can connect to the underlying postgres database servers, but how can I access the pgbouncer database when I'm not running a postgres server on the VM where the pgbouncer is installed? In all the forums and documentation the only case described is accessing the pgbouncer database on the localhost.

GabyThanks for the help,Hi,thanks, you're right. My description wasn't very concrete. Our current set up is a single pgbouncer instance running on a VM in the same network like the webapplications. The database servers are in another firewall protected network. So the pgbouncer is now running on a standalone VM. I was wondering if this setup is a propper solution, but I guess we still have to test the perfomance.
Until now I always installed pgbouncer on a already existing database server and the basic configuration was quite easy. When running on a central VM separate to the database its is connecting too, is it necessary to have a running postgresql instance on this VM too? I want to connect to the pgbouncer database as well, but therefor I need a postgresql database server, right? Or do I just need the client packages?2014-08-24 17:09 GMT+02:00 Greg Sabino Mullane <greg@turnstep.com>:

server' means in this context (multiple pgbouncers?), but I would lean
towards having a single pgbouncer instance on a central VM, as it means
less things to keep track of. There can be advantages to having multiple
pgbouncers close to the db, but which is best ultimately depends on your
layout, usage pattern, network speeds, etc.
