EnterpriseDB Postgres Advanced Server (EPAS)
This documentation covers the EnterpriseDB Postgres Advanced Server (EPAS)-specific aspects of using DBtune with your EPAS database.
Since EPAS builds on top of community PostgreSQL, the user guide for community PostgreSQL applies here as well. For general information, please refer to:
- Agent overview - How the agent works
- Tuning modes - Reload-only vs restart tuning
- Agent monitoring and privacy - Data collection and privacy
- PostgreSQL parameters - Complete list of tuned parameters
- Tuning targets - How metrics are computed
EPAS-specific requirements
Even though you're connecting to an EPAS server, you must use the standard PostgreSQL URI format for connection strings. This is because the DBtune agent requires the "postgresql://" prefix. This differs from many EDB tools that use the "edb://" connection prefix.
export DBT_POSTGRESQL_CONNECTION_URL="postgresql://user:password@localhost:5444/dbname"
Future releases of the DBtune agent will introduce the edb connection prefix. For any requests on the matter, please contact the support team at support@dbtune.com.
