Thread: pg_stat_kcache 1.0 released
pg_stat_kcache 1.0 released --------------------------- pg_stat_kcache is a small PostgreSQL extension that gathers statistics from the kernel's filesystem layer regarding how many reads have actually hit the disk. It uses the getrusage() system call to gather this metric which is only available since Linux 2.6.22. This module provides an easy way to determine if the operating system cache is working efficiently. It must be started with PostgreSQL and thus has to be loaded by shared_preload_libraries. See the documentation for instructions on compiling and installing. The extension is usable as is with PostgreSQL 9.1 and later. It should work with older versions with some minor tweaking. Feel free to provide any feedback. For further details, please head to the github repository: * http://github.com/dalibo/pg_stat_kcache -- Thomas Reiss http://dalibo.com - http://dalibo.org
