Prerequisites for Monitoring PostgreSQL

Foglight for PostgreSQL supports PostgreSQL version 9.1 and above, including managed database service versions that use an equivalent or newer release, such as AWS Aurora/RDS and Microsoft Azure. However, versions earlier than 9.2 may lack certain data, particularly I/O timing metric statistics, which are unavailable in those versions.

The agent runs on a FglAM that can be either local or remote to the PostgreSQL server. For details on configuring the PostgreSQL server for monitoring, refer to the Installing and Configuring Agents section.
