pg_activity
===========

Command line tool for PostgreSQL server activity monitoring.

Dependencies
------------

  - `python` &ge; **2.6**
  - `psycopg2` &ge; **2.2.1**
  - `psutil` &ge;  **0.5.1**

Installation from sources:
`setuptools` &ge; **0.6.14** 

Installation
------------

    sudo python setup.py install

### Installation with man page

Usage
-----

`pg_activity` works localy or remotely. In local execution context, to obtain sufficient rights to display system informations, the system user running `pg_activity` must be the same user running postgresql server (`postgres` by default), or have more rights like `root`. Otherwise, `pg_activity` can fallback to a degraded mode without displaying system informations. On the same way, PostgreSQL user used to connect to the database must be super-user.  
ex:  
    
    sudo -u postgres pg_activity -U postgres
