PostgreSQL Enterprise Manager - PEM Monitoring Tools

Database administration and management is required for any database on which there are continuous business transactions.  If databases across enterprises are not monitored and maintained, then such databases are vulnerable to disasters, which eventually brings downtime to missions-critical application and, of course, it will incur losses in the business. Data is now one of the key assets for running a business, globally. Hence, it is one of the major responsibilities of enterprises to invest in resources for database monitoring and management. There are many database management and monitoring tools available for proactive database monitoring. In this article, we will look at PEM – “PostgreSQL Enterprise Manager”.Enterprise Manager, or PEM, is a graphical database management/monitoring tool that can help database administrators, system administrators, database developers, database managers, system architects, and performance analysts manage databases efficiently and proactively. PEM has a rich user interface for performing many database administration activities from a single console.
Why do we need additional software for database management?” Many customers/managers have asked me this and I would like to answer in simple words – “PEM provides a single console for managing and administering single/multiple databases at a single site or across multiple locations . PEM allows full control of databases remotely for better and more efficient database management.
Architecture of Postgres Enterprise Manager:
The diagram below illustrates the Postgres Enterprise Manager Deployment architecture. Postgres Enterprise Manager has three different layers in its deployment.
  1. Postgres Enterprise Manager Server
  2. Postgres Enterprise Manager Agent
  3. SQL Profiler
  4. Client

Postgres Enterprise Manager Architecture
Postgres Enterprise Manager Server is the main software, which can be installed on an existing Postgres database server or on a fresh server. PEM Server needs its own database, used for maintaining the EM repository and for storing information on all its target databases. Currently PEM Server is supported on the Windows and Linux platforms.
Postgres Enterprise Manager Agent is lightweight software that is installed on database server hosts. This software is responsible for connecting to the database and uploading collected statistics to the Postgres Enterprise Manager Server. The information is transported between management agent and management server using SSL certificates.
Client is the end layer, from which all added target databases are monitored. Client has access to the Postgres Enterprise Manager Server secure URL using the “https” protocol and internally Postgres Enterprise Manager Server connects to the database targets as the single management console for one or more local and/or remote databases.
SQL Profiler EnterpriseDB provides the SQL Profiler component in EDB Postgres Advanced Serverand in EDB Postgres Enterprise Manager (for PostgreSQL users) to help assist you in locating and optimizing poorly-running SQL code.
The SQL Profiler Plugin allows you to profile a server’s workload. You must install the plugin on each server on which you wish to use SQL Profiler (since it is a plugin to the database server, you must install a copy of the plugin for each Postgres instance you wish to profile on each host you wish to profile). For example, if you have a host running PostgreSQL 9.2 and PostgreSQL 9.5, you must install two versions of the plugin, one for each server.
SQL Profiler for Postgres Enterprise Manager™ is officially supported only on the EnterpriseDB distributions of PostgreSQL version 9.1 (and above) and Advanced Server version 9.1 (and above). The plugin is distributed via StackBuilder, or is available from the EnterpriseDB website at:
The plugin is also distributed and installed with the server component of the Advanced Server 9.1 (and above) installer.
The SQL Profiler plugin may be installed on servers with or without a PEM agent, however traces can only be run in ad-hoc mode on unmanaged servers, and may only be scheduled on managed servers.
Follow the installation steps listed below to install the plugin for PostgreSQL before continuing to the Configuration section. If you are using Advanced Server 9.1 or above, skip ahead to the Configuration section.
  • PostgreSQL, SQL Profiler default maintenance database is postgres.
  • Advanced Server, SQL Profiler default maintenance database is edb
Benefits of Using Postgres Enterprise Manager:
Postgres Enterprise Manager has many benefits, including the following:
1-      Robust Management Design: Postgres Enterprise Manager has a robust design for enterprise database administration and management. It was developed for managing multiple local or distributed small/medium/large-scale databases from a single console.
2-      Multi-Platform Support: Postgres Enterprise Manager can collect information from PostgreSQL databases running on different OS platforms using remote connection with the Postgres Enterprise Manager Server. It can collect information on overall database activity and publish it on the PEM Server dashboard.
3-      GUI-based Administration: Postgres Enterprise Manager supports complete GUI-based administration for all databases that are managed by the PEM Server. You can perform administration activities such as server startup/shutdown, configuration of database parameters, creation of objects, tablespace/datafiles storage management, database backup and recovery and much more.
4-      Database Performance Monitoring: PEM provides excellent performance monitoring and performance tuning capabilities for all Postgres databases managed by the PEM Server. It cangather performance statistics from multiple databases and display them on its single dashboard, enabling efficient performance management.
5-      Database Alerts: Postgres Enterprise Manager can alerts for configured thresholds. It can send alerts for configured items such as Memory, Disks, CPU etc. Each of these items has a default threshold set, but we can change the threshold values to meet SLAs. Any item exceeding the threshold value will cause an alert on the dashboard and from there an administrator can take corrective action.
6-      Capacity Planning:  PEM Server keeps its collected database performance metrics for a specified period. The capacity manager utility can help us select a specific time (such as peak load/overloaded/crash) and run an analysis on it, and based on the results it will guide us in corrective capacity planning for resources such as disks, CPU, and memory.
7-      Audit Manager: The audit manager works only on Postgres Plus Advanced Server database instances. PEM audit manager can monitor database connections/disconnections from a database server. It can also log SQL statements executed on a database.
8-      Postgres Replication: Postgres Enterprise Manager supports streaming replication. The streaming replication wizard is user friendly, enabling you to add new database servers for streaming replication or use an existing replication setup.
9-      Log Manager: Can collect server logs with optional requirements and record them in a centralized tableWe can use this wizard to customize the log rotation, log destination etc. PEM has separate a tab for the server log dashboard.
10-    Expert Database Analysis: Postgres Enterprise Manager has an optional Expert utility that can analyze a database and score it for security best practices, database configuration and other keys areas and generate a report against best practices. We can use the report to configure our database to meet industry best practices.
Those are the top 10 features offered by Postgres Enterprise Manager in my opinion; there are many more features and option available in PEM Server. In the future, I am going to start a series of blog posts that will cover how we can utilize these features for effective and proactive database management of Postgres databases.

PEM Server Installation   PEM Installation Steps:

  • PostgreSQL
  • pem-httpd
  • Language Pack
  1. PEM Agent Installation    
  2. SQL ProfilerInstallation
EnterpriseDB has released  the  Postgres Enterprise Manager 7.5. When installation is as easy as for the current version that should just be a matter of clicking next, lets see.

1. PEM Server Installation   

Because the installer will create the systemd services installation should be done as root  so need execute permission:
[root@2ndquadrant.in-3]# ls -l
total 310764
-rw-rw-r-- 1 465632 465632 317906671 Nov 15 16:54 pem-server-7.5.0-3-linux-x64 (1).run

[root@2ndquadrant.in-3]# chmod 766 pem-server-7.5.0-3-linux-x64\ \(1\).run
[root@2ndquadrant.in-3]# chown root:root pem-server-7.5.0-3-linux-x64\ \(1\).run

[root@2ndquadrant.in-3]#  ls -l
total 310764
-rwxrw-rw- 1 root root 317906671 Nov 15 16:54 pem-server-7.5.0-3-linux-x64 (1).run
From now on all is Interactive Installer and straight forward:
[root@2ndquadrant.in-3]#./pem-server-7.5.0-3-linux-x64\ \(1\).run

Manager were not found.
Please extract them using '--extract-dependents' options and install them
manually before installing the 'Postgres Enterprise Manager Server 7.5.0'.
Press [Enter] to continue:

SOLUTION :

You can perform an unattended PEM server installation by providing installation preferences on the command line when invoking the installer. Please note that the system on which you are installing the PEM server must have internet access.
Step 1. Before invoking the installer, you must disable SE Linux:
[root@2ndquadrant.in-3] # sestatus
SELinux status:                 disabled
For Selinux Disabling:
[root@2ndquadrant.in-3] # vi /etc/sysconfig/selinux
Then change the directive SELinux=enforcing to SELinux=disabled


The PEM server installer has three dependencies:
• PostgreSQL
• pem-httpd
• Language Pack
Step 2. Create a directory for extracting dependencies:
[root@2ndquadrant.in-3] # mkdir ext
[root@2ndquadrant.in-3] # pwd
/home/465632/2ndQ/ext
Step 3 .You can use the PEM server installer to satisfy the dependencies of the PEM server; use the following command to extract the dependencies:
[root@2ndquadrPEM serverant.in-3] #  ./pem-server-7.5.0-3-linux-x64\ \(1\).run --extract-dependents /home/465632/2ndQ/ext
Step 4. In our example, the files are extracted to the /home/465632/2ndQ/ extdirectory. After extracting the files, you must install each program. Navigate into the directory that contains the files (in our example, /home/465632/2ndQ/ext), and enter:
[root@2ndquadrant.in-3 ext]# ls -l
total 223944
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root  77268218 Oct 23 03:32 edb-languagepack-10-5-linux-x64.run

### Solution :
  1. 8443 is SSL based so you have to tell to network team that 8443 is a SSL port you have to open that ports with SSL
  2. Check the VPN connection , some time VPN should be ON if server is already configured .
  3. Disable the Proxy server if it is already for Disabling proxy GO to chrome ->> setting ->> Type in search box as ‘xy’ then CLICK “ Open proxysettings “ ->> click LAN SETTING ->> untick “ USE A PROXY  SERVER FOR YOUR LAN “ then Give ->> OK ->> OK .


then you can connect the PEM server

If you have an EDB subscription now it is the time to enter the product key:
pem7_34
What you immediately can see is that the look and feel changed to that of pgadmin4 :
Adding Pem Agent By using PostgreSQL PEM :
You have to give Name  and Group
We added pem agent by using pem server web console but not configured at db side so we have install and configure the pem server at master as well as slave because right now we have master and slave only.
See I tried to configure the log file but unable to do that because still not installed pem agent at DB side.
In a next we’ll install a PEM Agent and start to monitor it.

2. PEM Agent Installation

The PEM agent executes tasks scheduled via the PEM server, and reports statistics from the agent’s operating system and one or more Postgres servers running on the agent’s host. A PEM agent must reside on each monitored virtual or physical machine. A copy of the PEM server must be installed and running on the network on which the PEM agent’s host resides.
You can perform an unattended PEM server installation by providing installation preferences on the command line when invoking the installer. Please note that the system on which you are installing the PEM server must have internet access.
On Linux
Before Installing the PEM agent installer, you must:
  • Install the PEM server; the pg_hba.conf file of the PEM server must allow connections from the host of the PEM agent.
  • Disable SE Linux on the host of the PEM agent; for more information,
  • Ensure that the monitored Postgres database has SSL enabled and is accepting connections.
Pem Agent Need Some Dependency packages they are :
https://www.enterprisedb.com/docs/en/6.0/peminstguide/images/image53.png
You must be a superuser to install the PEM agent. Use the following command to install the PEM agent installer :
[root@2ndquadrant.in-1]# ./pem-agent-7.5.0-3-linux-x64.run  --mode text

3. SQL Profiler Installation

The SQL Profiler Plugin allows you to profile a server’s workload. You must install the plugin on each server on which you wish to use SQL Profiler.
Plugin is available for download at the following link:
http://www.enterprisedb.com/download-postgres-enterprise-manager
Note:-The SQL Profiler is installed as part of Postgres Plus Advanced Server and only requires configuration.
For PostgreSQL, download the relevant version of SQL Profiler from the link mentioned above, below is an example for PostgreSQL 9.0:
./sqlprofiler-pg-9.0-2.1.0-1-linux-x64.run
Note: while installation provide the details accordingly.
Text mode installation:-
./sqlprofiler-pg-9.0-2.1.0-1-linux-x64.run --mode text

 #########################################
Configuring SQL Profiler
To use the profiler, you must:
1)  Load the profiler plugin
2)  Run the sql-profiler.sql against postgres/edb.
LOADING THE PROFILER:
You should preload the profiler into all sessions by adding the following  line to your postgresql.conf configuration file:
shared_preload_libraries = '$libdir/sql-profiler'
There is a tiny (probably immeasurable) amount of extra overhead once you’ve loaded the profiler.
START/STOP/LOAD TRACES:
Use Postgres Enterprise Manager (client) to
– Define and start a trace for any user (or, all users) against any
database (or, all the databases).
– Stop the running trace
– Load an existing trace created earlier
– Remove an existing trace(s).
– Schedule a trace to start it later
(NOTE: This requires – the database to be registered on a Postgres
Enterprise Manager and the PEM Agent should be running and bound
to that server.)
PEM Server – START/STOP/RESTART :
Stop / start  Postgres 10:
/opt/PostgreSQL/10/bin/pg_ctl -D /opt/PostgreSQL/10/data restart
Stop the PEMHTTPD and the pemagent service:
systemctl restart pemagent
systemctl restart PEMHTTPD
Error logs For Apache server :
tail -f /opt/edb/pem/httpd/apache/logs/error_log
