Database Server Health Check
Just as regular doctor’s checkups help spot disease and chronic health problems in people before they become acute, a “health check” of your database servers will uncover and sometimes prevent database server problems before your website goes down. Vetran database server medic Josh Berkus will go through the various steps his company normally takes to make sure customer database servers are “healthy”.
A regular health check generally includes:
- Configuration checkup
- Hardware checkup
- Resource usage checkup
- OS Checkup
- Application checkup
- Slow query checkup
While the examples and demos in the tutorial will focus on PostgreSQL, they should be applicable to other DBMSes.

Is there any ppt or pdf?
I enjoyed this tutorial. Since our product relies on a database it was great to get some understanding of the tools available to insure it was running optimally.
Very good overview. I am an app admin/reluctant developer (opennms) and took a bunch of great approaches away for tuning my deployed db to match the app’s needs. I’m curious why so many low ratings?
