I can confirm that check_pgactivity is compatible with all supported
versions of PostgreSQL (and more).

If this can help, the project provides its own RPM:

https://github.com/OPMDG/check_pgactivity/releases

It depends on 'postgresql' , not 'postgresql12', so any installed
version would do.

Or you can installl the script manually. This is just a single Perl
script with very few dependencies anyway.
