High-Frequency Monitoring Reinvents Database Ops Experience
Xata Agent utilizes a streaming processing architecture to monitor performance metrics with a lightweight sampling strategy that is updated every 10 seconds. Compared with the 1-minute sampling interval of traditional monitoring tools, its response speed is increased by 600%, and it is able to trigger the early warning mechanism at the early stage of the problem. The technical realization mainly relies on two innovations:
- Capturing Microsecond Query Elapsed Time with PostgreSQL's pg_stat_statements Extension
- Processing AWS Cloudwatch Data Sources with Incremental Log Parsing Technology
In practice, an e-commerce platform used this feature to shorten the discovery time for slow queries from an average of 8 minutes to 23 seconds, significantly reducing the business impact.
