## What it is
pgwatch2 is a self-contained PostgreSQL metrics monitoring and dashboarding solution that gathers statistics collector data and presents it via Grafana. It supports PostgreSQL versions 9.0 to 16, multiple metrics storage backends, and Docker-based deployment, though it is now archived in favor of the newer pgwatch project.

## Use cases
- monitor postgresql database performance metrics
- set up grafana dashboards for postgres statistics
- collect postgres metrics without superuser rights or extensions
- store postgres metrics in influxdb, prometheus, graphite or timescaledb
- alert on postgresql database health issues
- monitor many postgres instances from one place

## When to choose
- you need a self-contained, non-invasive postgres monitoring stack with pre-built grafana dashboards
- you want flexible SQL-defined custom metrics for postgres
- you prefer docker-based quick deployment of monitoring

## When to avoid
- you want active development and new features - use the successor pgwatch repository instead
- you need monitoring for databases other than postgresql
- you require a fully managed cloud monitoring service

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: maintenance
- function: monitoring, alerting, analytics
- domain: databases, monitoring, self-hosted
- platform: self-hosted
- tags: postgresql, grafana, metrics-gathering, timescaledb, influxdb, prometheus, dashboarding, devops, docker, linux, web-server
