An Introduction to Postgres Enterprise Manager

Introduction

Postgres Enterprise Manager (PEM) is an all-in-one database administration solution which offers management, monitoring, and performance tuning capabilties.
This blog will attempt to briefly explain what PEM is and the core features it offers.

Understanding Postgres Enterprise Manager (PEM)

When you install PostgreSQL, you are given the option of also installing pgadmin. If you've ever used pgadmin before, you may already be familiar with PEM. PEM can be described as a more advanced version of pgadmin 4.
PEM provides database administrators with a browser-based console platform for monitoring, performance tuning, backup management, and security enhancement.

Key Features of Postgres Enterprise Manager

Performance Monitoring and Tuning: PEM provides key insights into database performance, identification of bottlenecks, and query optimization.

  • Alert Management: PEM empowers database adiministrators to proactively tackle issues by allowing them to create customized alerts and notifications of critical events and potential issues.
  • Database Diagnostics: PEM's diagnostic tools help administrators troubleshoot by highlighting performance problems. This allows for speedy root cause analysis and easy identification of effective solutions.
  • Backup and Recovery Management: PEM simplifies backup and recovery, safeguards data integrity, and minimizes downtime through features such as Barman, Bart, and Failover Manager.
  • User Management and Security: PEM provides extensive capabilities to efficiently manage user access and fine-tune security controls.
  • Query Analysis: PEM can help administrators optimize database performance by analyzing complex SQL queries and pinpointing where improvements could be made. This is a crucial feature for improving query response times and increasing efficiency.
  • Capacity Planning: PEM can provide forecasts and predictions to aid in resource planning. This can help administrators anticipate growth and allocate resources efficiently.
