Re: Cacti + PostgreSQL Graphing

First, thanks for the pointer to the Check_postgres stuff, definitely alot
of good stuff in there ... but ... that is a totally different beast then
I'm looking at from Cacti (or, so I believe) ... for instance,
Check_posgres:database_size will alert me if I go over X size, which is
useful but with Cacti, I get a graph of waht the size is over a 5 min
period of time, so I can watch growth ...

That said, just found the Check_postgres:dbstats function that ", and
outputs it in a Cacti-friendly manner" ... so that alone will make it
useful to install (we use Nagios also, but right now we're looking at
performance stats vs up/downtime, but the latter will be required when we
go production) ...
