pg_activity is a top-like command line tool for monitoring PostgreSQL server activity in real time. It displays running queries, waits, CPU, memory, and I/O usage, working locally or remotely.

Use cases

  • monitor postgres server activity from the terminal
  • see which queries are running on postgresql right now
  • watch cpu and io usage of my postgres database
  • find long-running or blocking queries in postgres
  • top-like tool for postgres
  • debug slow queries on a postgres server

When to choose

  • you want a lightweight, htop-style live view of PostgreSQL activity without a web dashboard
  • you need quick ad-hoc inspection of running queries, waits, and system resource usage
  • you prefer a CLI tool installable via pip, pipx, or distro packages

When to avoid

  • you need long-term metrics storage, dashboards, or alerting (use Prometheus/pgwatch instead)
  • you need monitoring of many servers from one place
  • you cannot connect as a superuser or the postgres OS user and need full system-level stats
