Redgate Software announced that its SQL Server database monitoring tool, SQL Monitor, now supports Amazon Aurora PostgreSQL as well as PostgreSQL on-premises.

The release enables enterprises to move beyond the built-in but limited monitoring capability of Amazon Aurora and provides a rich and comprehensive set of alerts, performance metrics, statistics and instantly accessible advice. Using SQL Monitor, they can view the status of their PostgreSQL servers, databases and instances whether on-premises or in the cloud from a central dashboard.

As part of Redgate’s mission to support database management across the DevOps lifecycle on any database, any platform, anywhere, the added support for PostgreSQL is the latest step to help DBAs who are increasingly expected to work across multiple databases.

Already a long-established database monitoring tool, a public preview of SQL Monitor support for PostgreSQL was introduced in late 2022, giving users access to real-time performance monitoring, alerts and diagnostics for both SQL Server and PostgreSQL in the same at-a-glance, side by side view. This was enhanced further in April 2023 with the launch of SQL Monitor V13, which enables enterprises to add and monitor PostgreSQL instances hosted on Linux or Amazon RDS.

The latest release supporting Amazon Aurora gives enterprises the option to manage and monitor their database estate in the way that best suits their business. For those with hybrid estates hosted both on-premises and in the cloud, they can be confident every database, server and instance is being monitored in the same way.

For those who prefer to take a cloud-first approach and avoid the capex costs involved with hosting their own infrastructures, they can be reassured SQL Monitor now supports different cloud environments available for different use cases.
