Some weeks ago a tool got my attention - pgstats. It was mentioned in a [blog post](http://blog.guillaume.lelarge.info/index.php/post/2015/01/25/A-new-vmstat-like-tool-for-PostgreSQL), so I tried it out and it made a very good first impression.

Now version 1.0 was released. It can be found in [github](https://github.com/gleu/pgstats).

It is a small tool to get statistics from postgres in intervals, just like with iostat, vmstat and other *stat tools. It has a number of modules to get these, for example for databases, tables, index usage and the like.

If you are running postgres, you definitely should take a look at it.
