Hello Everyone.

Could anyone please suggest any freeware tools, scripts, or ideas for creating a capacity planning solution for a PostgreSQL database? Thank you.

I suppose this is one of those areas where "knowing Postgres well" is the idea, and it's unlikely that this can be
replacedwith a tool.

I don't sure what you asking for but there is no any tool enough for the progresses. If you look some enterprise thing you can check pganalyze. PostgreSQL have enough monitoring extensions anyway. One of them is pgbadger, you can look at it.

Have a nice day.

Hi,

For PostgreSQL capacity planning, you can explore several freeware tools and approaches that help monitor and forecast database resource utilization. Some of the approaches are as follows:
* pgmetrics: A tool used to collects and reports PostgreSQL metrics such as database size, table sizes, buffer cache utilization, index usage etc
* pg_stat_statements: Tracks execution statistics for all SQL queries
* pgCluu: It provides detailed reports and charts based on system statistics and PostgreSQL performance.
* you can use the combination of Prometheus and Grafana
* Pgbadger: It generates performance reports based on log files.

When I was confronted with capacity planning a few years ago, I found this book
helpful. I was in a situation in which I was confronted with high expectations
and little or inaccurate specification at the same time. A situation that many
here are sure to recognise.
