Destination reached!
You’ve completed the PostgreSQL Database Observability learning path. Here’s what you accomplished:
- Prepared your PostgreSQL database by enabling
pg_stat_statements, configuring query tracking settings, and creating a dedicated monitoring user - Generated the Grafana Alloy configuration with the Add a database wizard and deployed it to your collector
- Verified telemetry was flowing to Grafana Cloud through the Telemetry status checks
- Explored query performance on the Queries overview page to find slow queries and drill into details
What’s next?
Now that Database Observability is running, you can:
- Set up alerts on query duration or error rate to catch performance regressions early
- Review explain plans regularly to identify missing indexes and inefficient query patterns
- Monitor wait events to understand resource contention and optimize concurrency
- Add more databases by running the Add a database wizard again for each PostgreSQL instance
