pgBadger 6.0 is out!

Posted on 2014-08-12 by Dalibo

DALIBO is proud to announce the release of pgBadger 6.0.

pgBadger is a PostgreSQL performance analyzer, built for speed with fully detailed reports based on your PostgreSQL log files.

This new major release fixes several issues and adds some new features:

  • Automatic cleanup of binary files in incremental mode.
  • Automatic handling of retention with a maximum number of weeks to keep reports.
  • Incremental mode improvement by allowing the use of multiprocessing with multiple log file.
  • Now reports the query latency percentiles on the general activity table (percentiles are 90, 95, 99).
  • A new output format: JSON. This format is good for sharing data with other tools.
  • Using the --anonymize option pgBadger will anonymize all literal values in the queries.
  • Add a click-to-select button in front of each query that allow to just use Ctrl+C to copy it on clipboard.
  • Several space usage improvement in incremental mode, the -X option allow the use of external CSS and Javascript files.
  • A new pgBadger logo

 

Warning: the behavior of pgBadger in incremental mode has changed. It will now always cleanup the output directory of all the obsolete binary file. If you were using those files to build your own reports, you can prevent pgBadger to remove them by using the --noclean option. Note that if you use the retention feature, all those files in obsolete directories will be removed too.
