pgtop version 0.11 ================== pgtop is a PostgreSQL clone of `mytop', which in turn is a `top' clone for MySQL pgtop is a console-based (non-gui) tool for monitoring the threads and overall performance of PostgreSQL 7.2+. It runs on most Unix systems which have Perl, DBI, and Term::ReadKey installed. And with Term::ANSIColor installed you even get color. For more detailed information, look at the `mytop' page on sourceforge.net: http://mytop.sourceforge.net/ WARNING pgtop is a quick & dirty hack over `mytop', and not all MySQL concepts map very well onto PostgreSQL architecture and statistics collector. So don't expect a good quality out of this little hack... And, you should probably look for `ptop'. INSTALLATION tar -zxvf pgtop-.tar.gz cd pgtop- perl Makefile.PL make make test make install There's no tests, actually. DOCKER A ready-made Dockerfile is bundled in this repository. If you'd like to run pgtop from the docker container, all you need to do is to supply your own `.pgtop` configuration file. Build the docker container as: docker build -t my_pgtop . You most probably will want to run pgtop pointing it to your database rather than localhost:5432, so make sure to build a pgtoprc file from the provided sample `pgtoprc.sample`. After you've done that, run the docker container with: cp pgtoprc.sample pgtoprc # Edit the pgtoprc file to add your database host, port, name, etc.. docker run --rm -it -v ./pgtoprc:/app/.pgtop my_pgtop Don't forget the `-it` options, or pgtop won't run with the necessary terminal capabilities to display anything in a meaningful way.
