Parsing Postgres logs the non-pgBadger way
October 21–24
Level: Beginner
pgBadger has been a staple in the community for over a decade, and deserves a nod for sure. But at the same time one also has to acknowledge that the world has changed a "bit" during that time.
Are there some log parsing use cases that are better served with something else? What are the current options besides ad-hoc grep?
This talk is a look at a fresh effort to provide an alternative Open Source log parser to complement pgBadger.
We'll look at how pgweasel tries to be:
- way faster
- way simpler - concentrating on the Pareto DBA flow and the CLI experience
- more cloud-friendly
- require zero configuration
- more user-friendly
