PG Monitoring review
A focused PostgreSQL observability platform with deep operational monitoring and AI assistance.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
PG Monitoring is a PostgreSQL observability platform for database administrators, DevOps teams, and engineering organizations. It brings real-time health dashboards and alerting together with slow-query analysis, query performance monitoring, execution-plan change tracking, wait-event correlation, lock analysis, replication monitoring, and capacity visibility. The platform supports PostgreSQL 13–17 and can monitor self-managed databases and managed services, including Amazon RDS for PostgreSQL, Amazon Aurora PostgreSQL, and Google Cloud SQL for PostgreSQL.
Pricing is structured across three monthly tiers. Starter costs $59 per month for up to 5 PostgreSQL instances and includes real-time dashboards, core health and alerting, and email support. Professional costs $179 per month for up to 25 instances and adds AI Copilot and advisors, advanced anomaly detection, and priority support. Enterprise supports unlimited instances and includes advanced security and governance, a dedicated success channel, and custom SLAs and onboarding. A 14-day trial is available, making the product easier to evaluate before committing to a paid plan.
Its strongest fit is operationally focused PostgreSQL teams that need more than basic uptime checks. Monitoring extends into replication lag, slots, conflicts, topology, autovacuum, bloat, indexes, WAL, security settings, and capacity, while automated recommendations and AI Copilot support incident analysis and query tuning. Agentless collection is available for reachable databases, with an outbound agent for private networks, giving teams hybrid deployment options. Choose PG Monitoring when PostgreSQL depth matters; teams needing broader database coverage or a free tier should look elsewhere.
