Step 0: Choose Setup Method

To monitor a new Postgres server with pganalyze, you must make some configuration changes to your database and install and run the pganalyze collector. There are two ways of doing this:

• Guided setup (recommended):
  Run a setup program which will prompt you for input and confirmation and make necessary changes on your behalf
• Manual setup:
  Step through our instructions, making changes yourself

The guided setup program is our recommended way to set up on systems that meet the requirements:

• pganalyze-collector will be installed on the same system as your Postgres server
• Server runs Ubuntu 20.04 or newer, or Debian 11 or newer
• Postgres version 10 or newer

Otherwise, you'll need to follow the manual setup instructions.
