## pg_datasentinel - Observability extension for PostgreSQL We are pleased to announce the first release of pg_datasentinel.
- Source: [https://github.com/datasentinel/pg_datasentinel](https://github.com/datasentinel/pg_datasentinel) ## Features - **Extended activity monitoring** — enriches pg_stat_activity with per-backend memory usage, live temporary file bytes, and (PostgreSQL 18+) the current execution plan ID per backend. - **Container resource visibility** — reports CPU quota, memory limits, current memory usage, and CPU pressure for PostgreSQL running inside Docker, Kubernetes, OpenShift, or any cgroup-managed environment. - **Wraparound risk estimation** — tracks XID and MXID consumption rates and provides live ETAs to the aggressive-vacuum and wraparound limits. - **Log capture into queryable views** — records vacuum, analyze, temporary file, and checkpoint events into shared-memory ring buffers with parsed counters and timings available for real-time querying. ## Requirements - PostgreSQL 15 or newer. ## About pg_datasentinel - **pg_datasentinel** is an open source PostgreSQL extension under the [3-Clause BSD license](https://opensource.org/license/BSD-3-Clause) that adds deep observability capabilities. <p> </p> The extension is developed and maintained by Christophe REVEILLERE at [DATASENTINEL](https://www.datasentinel.io).
