4.0.1

4.0.0

This is a major rework of PoWA. Please not that there is not upgrade to switch to this version. You need to remove the old one and install the new 4.0.0 version.

  • New features:
    • Add a remote capture mode, allowing to gather data from a remote server and store them on a central repository. This avoids the overhead of storig and processing performance data on the local instance, and also allows using PoWA on hot-standby server (Julien Rouhaud, Thanks to Adrien Nayrat for extensive testing).
    • Store new metrics added in pg_stat_kcache 2.1.0 (Julien Rouhaud)
    • Aggregate relation statistics per database (Alexander Kukushkin)
    • Add support for pg_qualstats 2.0.0 (Julien Rouhaud)
    • Add a query_cleanup column to powa_functions (Julien Rouhaud)
  • Miscellaneous:
    • Add support for makefile option NO_PGXS (Julien Rouhaud)
    • Cleanup old databases after the expiration period, and stop gathering data belonging to dropped database when doing the snapshots (Marc Cousin)
    • Fix possible bug with background worker type in pg_stat_activity (github user ppetrov91)
    • Add some missing indexes (Julien Rouhaud, thanks to PoWA for noticing)
    • Add compatibility with upcoming pg13 (Julien Rouhaud)
    • Reduce noise is powa is disabled and the target database doesn't exist (Julien Rouhaud)
  • Bugfix
    • Schema qualify powa_take_snapshot() call, so powa can work without public being in the superuser search_path (Julien Rouhaud)
    • Fix powa_snapshot_metas dump config (Julien Rouhaud, reported by Adrien Nayrat)
    • Fix long standing bug in pg_qualstats aggregation
    • Fix typos in SQL comments (Magnus Hagander)

3.2.0 (2018-10-14)

  • New features:
    • Add support for pg_wait_sampling extension (Julien Rouhaud)
  • Miscellaneous:
    • Reduce logs when PoWA is deactivated (Julien Rouhaud)
  • Bugfix:
    • Fix possible bug if an error happens during the stats retrieval (Julien Rouhaud)

3.1.2 (2018-05-30)

  • Miscellaneous:
    • Add pg11 compatibility (Julien Rouhaud)
    • Catch errors in Debian packaging test script (Christoph Berg, spotted by Niels Thykier)

3.1.1 (2017-09-19)

  • Bugfix:
    • Fix unsafe coding with sighup handler (Andreas Seltenreich, Julien Rouhaud)
    • Make sure we wait at least powa.frequency between two snapshot (Marc Cousin and Julien Rouhaud)
    • Fix win32 portability of compute_powa_frequeny() (Julien Rouhaud)
    • Don't try to read dbentry->tables if it's NULL (Julien Rouhaud)
    • Fix compilation for platform with HAVE_CLOCK_GETTIME (Julien Rouhaud, reported by Maxence Ahlouche)

    • Add pg10 Compatibility (Julien Rouhaud)
    • Only execute once the powa_stat functions (Julien Rouhaud)

  • Fix issue leading to impossibility to stop the worker without shutting down the database
  • Fix cluster wide statistics to get fresh values
  • Report PoWA collector activity in pg_stat_activity and process title
  • add a new powa.debug parameter
  • Purge at the same frequency as we coalesce. We just don't do both at the same iteration
  • Fix bloat issue
  • Add + and / operators on powa types to get delta and counters per second given two records

3.0.1 (2016-02-09)

  • Don't track 2PC related statements, as they're not normalized by pg_stat_statements. Upgrade script will do all the needed cleanup.
  • Restore the install_all.sql file to easily setup PoWA.
  • Maintain a cache of pg_database to allow seeing dropped database in the UI. See issue powa-team/powa#63
