You MUST get approval before:
Run systematic checks:
# Service status
sudo systemctl status postgresql
sudo systemctl status pgbouncer
# Connectivity
sudo -u postgres psql -c "SELECT 1;"
# Recent errors
sudo tail -100 /var/log/postgresql/postgresql-16-main.log | grep -i "error\|fatal"
# Resource usage
df -h
free -h
top -b -n 1 | head -20
# Active connections
sudo -u postgres psql -c "SELECT count(*) FROM pg_stat_activity;"
# Long queries
sudo -u postgres psql -c "
SELECT pid, usename, datname, now() - query_start AS duration, substring(query, 1, 100)
FROM pg_stat_activity
WHERE state = 'active' AND now() - query_start > interval '1 minute'
ORDER BY duration DESC;"
Based on diagnosis, execute appropriate recovery:
Database Down:
Performance Degraded:
Disk Space Critical:
Backup Failures:
Confirm full recovery:
# Service health
sudo systemctl status postgresql
# Connection test
sudo -u postgres psql -c "SELECT version();"
# All databases accessible
sudo -u postgres psql -c "\l"
# Test customer database (example)
sudo -u postgres psql -d customer_db_001 -c "SELECT count(*) FROM information_schema.tables;"
# Run health check
/opt/fairdb/scripts/pg-health-check.sh
# Check metrics returned to normal
sudo -u postgres psql -c "SELECT count(*) FROM pg_stat_activity;"
