Reviewing Database Details

The database dashboard presents detailed metrics for a single database. Select a database in the cluster navigator or click a database entry in the server dashboard summary tiles to open the dashboard.

Reviewing the database dashboard

The header displays the database name and the server name; use the X in the upper-right corner to close the dashboard.

Performance Overview

The Performance Overview pane summarizes database activity and current health. The pane displays the following tiles:

  • The DATABASE SIZE tile shows the total size of the database in a human-readable format.
  • The CACHE HIT RATIO tile shows the buffer cache hit ratio as a percentage.
  • The TRANSACTIONS tile shows the total combined commit and rollback count.
  • The DEAD TUPLE RATIO tile shows the dead tuple percentage across all tables.

Reviewing the Database Performance Overview

The pane also displays the following time-series charts:

  • The Transactions Over Time chart plots commits and rollbacks as separate lines over the selected range.
  • The Cache Hit Ratio Over Time chart tracks the cache hit ratio over the selected range.

Each tile and each chart displays a brain icon that opens an AI analysis of the displayed data.

Table Leaderboard

The Table Leaderboard pane ranks tables using selectable sort criteria.

The pane provides the following sort buttons:

  • The Rows button sorts tables by live row count; the Workbench selects it by default.
  • The Seq Scans button sorts tables by sequential scan count.
  • The Dead Tuples button sorts tables by dead tuple count.
  • The Modifications button sorts tables by total inserts, updates, and deletes.

Each row shows the fully qualified table name, a dead tuple count, a relative bar indicator, and a row count. Click a table entry to navigate to the object dashboard for that table.

Reviewing the Table Leaderboard

An AI Analysis button with a brain icon sits beside the sort buttons. The analysis covers data across all sort categories for the listed tables.

Index Leaderboard

The Index Leaderboard pane ranks indexes using selectable sort criteria.

The pane provides the following sort buttons:

  • The Reads button sorts indexes by tuples read count; the Workbench selects it by default.
  • The Scans button sorts indexes by index scan count.
  • The Unused button surfaces indexes with the lowest scan counts.

Each row shows the index name, the parent table name on a second line, a scan count, a relative bar indicator, and a read count. Click an index entry to navigate to the object dashboard for that index.

An AI Analysis button with a brain icon sits beside the sort buttons. The analysis covers data across all index metrics for the listed indexes.

Vacuum Status

The Vacuum Status pane displays a sortable table of all tables sorted by dead tuple ratio in descending order.

The table includes the following columns:

  • The TABLE column identifies each entry.
  • The LAST VACUUM column shows the most recent manual vacuum timestamp.
  • The LAST AUTOVACUUM column shows the most recent autovacuum timestamp.
  • The DEAD TUPLES column shows the raw dead tuple count.
  • The DEAD RATIO column shows the dead tuple percentage.

The pane displays aging timestamps in amber and red to indicate stale vacuum activity. The pane displays Never in red when vacuum has never run for a table; high DEAD RATIO values appear in bold red.

An AI Analysis button with a brain icon provides vacuum recommendations.
