[HACKERS] Tool Search

[Naomi Walker]

We're about to start up Postgresql in production, and I am looking for a 
few tools, so I do not have to reinvent the wheel.

I'm looking for tools that:

  1) Grep through log files, looking for particulary nasty items, that 
should get sent to me in email or to a cell phone.  I noticed you can use 
the syslog daemon, which would be great for sorting.  Anyone have a sort list?

   2) Probably, we'll use Bib Brother or Whats Up Gold to monitor system 
resources, like cpu, memory, and disk space.  Anyone have suggestions?

   3) Interesting tools any self-respecting DBA should have, that looks for 
particular "quirks" in Postgresql.  For example, in Informix, we were 
always checking fragmentation and space issues.
