Thanks a lot Luca.

Last question:
If we want to run on windows then, is there any guide/documentation available that you can refer me.

Thanks

No, I wrote that pgwatch runs in a docker container, so as far as you can run docker on windows you should be able to run pgwatch within docker on top of windows.

pgwatch runs on a linux stack, so if you need to run it on windows you have either to runa virtual machine (running linux) or get a docker linux container available and running.

I think it is possible, but probably not the best solution.
