Step 4: Install the Collector
Installing the collector on an Amazon EC2 Instance
For this step, you first need to choose whether you want to install the collector on an existing EC2 instance, or run a new one.
The pganalyze collector is a daemon process that continuously collects database statistics, and submits them to the pganalyze dashboard in recurring intervals.
You can either run it on a small instance (a t3.small
suffices), or add it to an existing EC2 instance in your environment.
Starting a new EC2 instance
Start a new t3.small
instance, Amazon Linux 2 based, that has the IAM role applied:
Then follow the step to install the collector on Amazon Linux 2 based instances.
Installing the collector on the instance
We recommend running our install script to automatically detect your platform and install the correct package:
curl https://packages.pganalyze.com/collector-install.sh | bash
Alternately, you can follow the manual install instructions.
After successful installation the pganalyze collector will now be running in the background on your server.
