Is there a tool which does this for PostgreSQL?
Take a "snapshot" of what the server is doing about 10 times per second.
Write this to a file.
After N hours you can aggregate the file.
What does the server do most of the time?
Which tables/index gets used the most.
Before optimizing a database, I would like to know what is going
on in the production system.
I know that there are internal tables like pg_stat_statements.
But I guess doing a snapshot every N millseconds will present a
better picture of what is going in in real life.
Is there already a tool which goes this way?
Or is there a better way?
