Accessing PoWA

After the remote deployment is configured, and PoWA-collector and PoWA-web are started, you can view the monitoring metrics of the instance through a browser. In the example,

# Port is not configured in the powa-web.conf file. The default value 8888 is used.

# Browser access website: http://ECS_IP_address:8888/

  1. Use a browser to access PoWA.

    The PoWA collects information about two PostgreSQL instances.

    • <local>: PostgreSQL database built on the ECS, which is used as the powa-repository role.
    • myinstance: RDS for PostgreSQL instance, which is used as the target for performance data collection. (myinstance is the instance alias registered in powa-repository.)

  3. Click an instance to view its performance metrics.
