Elephant Shed 1.2 released

Elephant Shed 1.2 released
--------------------------
https://elephant-shed.io/

The Elephant Shed PostgreSQL Appliance bundles and integrates proven
components, required for easy management of a PostgreSQL server.
Proven tools for all relevant aspects are already preinstalled and
preconfigured. The majority of these tools can be controlled via a
comfortable web interface. Even experienced PostgreSQL administrators
will hardly find an area not covered by Elephant Shed PostgreSQL
appliance.

New in version 1.2 is support for Ubuntu Bionic (18.04), next to the
existing support for Debian Stretch (9). Both distributions are fully
supported on the amd64 (x86_64) and ppc64el (IBM POWER) architectures.

For version 1.2, the Grafana dashboard was overhauled based on user
feedback. Multiple PostgreSQL clusters per machine are now
distinguished using the cluster name such as "10/main". All metrics
panels feature proper units, i.e. axes are now labeled "bytes per
second" or "operations per minute". Grafana was updated to version 5.

The Prometheus timeseries database was updated to version 2, yielding
better performance and more compact storage. Unfortunately, the
storage format is not compatible, so old monitoring data is not
preserved.

Bug fixes and improvements:
* prometheus-sql-exporter autodetection of PostgreSQL clusters and
  databases rewritten, more stable
* Prometheus uses host name and cluster name in timeseries labels
* prometheus-node-exporter upgraded to version 0.15
* pgBadger log_line_prefix handling fixed
