Pigsty v0.4: PG13 and Better Docs

Originally published on VONNG.

GitHub Release: https://github.com/pgsty/pigsty/releases/tag/v0.4.0

Pigsty v0.4 is our second public beta. The observability stack was rebuilt around Grafana 7.3, and ten curated dashboards became the default open-source payload. pg_exporter 0.3.1 drives metrics, and the alert wiring has been cleaned up for the new Grafana release.

Open-Source Dashboards

The OSS build now exposes ten high-signal Grafana panels: PG Overview, Cluster, Service, Instance, Database, Query, Table, Table Catalog, Table Detail, and Node. Even with a lean set it easily outclasses most “enterprise” PG monitoring suites.

Software Refresh

  • PostgreSQL 13.1 + Patroni 2.0.1-4, with citus added to the repo
  • pg_exporter upgraded to 0.3.1
  • Grafana jumps to 7.3; a ton of compatibility fixes landed
  • Prometheus 2.23 with the new UI enabled
  • Consul 1.9 and related components updated

Other Improvements

  • Updated Prometheus alert rules and Alertmanager info links
  • Fixed a batch of bugs and typos
  • Added a tiny backup script for quick dumps
