The Xata Agent is an open-source AI PostgreSQL expert. It monitors Postgres clusters by analyzing metrics and logs, checking pg_stat_statements for slow queries, running EXPLAIN and interpreting the output.
We have been using the Agent internally on a large fleet of production PostgreSQL clusters, and we have gathered valuable insights, including:
- Comparing different models and providers and their benefits.
- Combining cloud hosting observability data with Postgres tools.
- The cost implications of using LLMs for database monitoring.
- Testing the agent’s effectiveness in detecting performance regressions.
