Whoa. This seems very nice. I'm on my phone now and can fully check it, this works directly with PostgreSQL, right? It doesn't matter if the application layer is Rails or Django or whatever, correct?

Correct. Works directly off pg stats. It's one of the first items on the deployment checklist for every product or service in the company.

Huh - PgHero is a rails app isn't it?

There are two applications in scope: The application whose database is being monitored, and the application displaying the dashboard.

pghero is a rails app but it just tracks a postgres db, you don't have to embed it into a rails application (though that's an option) you can run it independently.

That's awesome! So many great tools coming out in the past few years.

Do you (or anyone else) have any recommendations/tips for other tools? I really love Postgres.

I really like that you can just embed it into a Rails project.
