Database Server Safety Nets: Options for Predictive Server Analytics

Authors: 

Joe Conway, credativ USA; Jeff Hamann, Forest Informatics, Inc.

Abstract: 

Server monitoring is usually reactive in nature. Some predefined threshold is exceeded, an alert is sent, and by the time you receive the alert, something bad has already happened. Wouldn’t it be nice to be able to foresee trouble before it rears its ugly head? We present our initial investigation into using analytical tools available within the R statistical environment to easily monitor server activity, predict potential performance problems, and possibly prevent faults on PostgreSQL database servers.

Joe is President/CEO of credativ USA, which specializes in open source software with its "Open Source Support Center" and a comprehensive range of services, including consulting, architectural and technical advice, software development, training, and personalized support.
