Percona Monitoring and Management (PMM) is shown working end to end: metrics and dashboards pull Postgres stats, OS counters and query samples, alerts fire, and custom collectors push Prometheus-format files. Query aggregation and a new PG stat monitor histogram reveal time-of-day slowdowns, a textfile exporter measures WAL write bytes so max_wal_size sizing stops repeated checkpoints, and node-level OS signals (swap, context switches, CPU saturation) explain surprising performance drops. Custom extensions are straightforward and open source.
