Grenoble, France - November 28th, 2018

**pgCluu 2.8 released**

PostgreSQL Cluster Utilization

pgCluu is a Perl program used to perform a full audit of a PostgreSQL
Cluster performances. It is divided in two parts, a collector used to
grab statistics on the PostgreSQL server using psql and sar, a reports
builder that will generate all HTML and charts output.

This release is a minor release that fix some issues reported by
users over past months. There's also some new interesting reports:

  * Add disk space utilization report over time using df command
    for sysstat version older than 11.1.4.
  * Add report of percentage of disk space and inode used on each
    file system. The information is available in sar output since
    11.1.4 version.
  * Add PageTables information in SysInfo memory report.
  * Show database information about table/indexes in capture mode.
  * Add report of number of tasks currently blocked, waiting for I/O
    to complete "Run queue" report.
  * Add new report about system dirty memory that need to be written
    to disk as well as amount of active/inactive memory.
  * Show highest dirty memory to write and highest number of processes
    blocked in overall stats page.
  * Add report of crontab entries for the user running pgcluu.
  * Add report of installed PostgreSQL packages in main page.

New pgcluu_collectd command line option:

  * Add command line option --package-list to be able to set a custom
    command to list PostgreSQL packages. Default is to auto-detect
    package type between rpm and dpkg, using command 'rpm -qa' or
    'dpkg -l'. If you have an other system you can use this option to
    set a custom command. A filter on keyword 'postgres' is appended
    to the command: ' | grep postgres'.

Upgrade: you can safely override previous installation, backward
compatibility with 2.7 version is preserved.

See ChangeLog for a complete list of changes and bug fixes.

The goal of this project is to provide a complete PostgreSQL auditing
tool that don't need any dependency to be run easily to audit a local
or remote server.

If you just have a sar output file, pgCluu can be use to draw graphs
about the system utilization only.

pgCluu is an original collection of tools built during my work at
Dalibo. Those tools are published under the PostgreSQL License to
be shared, any one is welcome to contribute.
