PostgreSQL Process Detector

Detects PostgreSQL database server processes running on the system.

Overview

The PostgreSQL detector identifies PostgreSQL server instances by checking for the postgres executable name. It is used by the workload-discovery command to automatically discover PostgreSQL workloads.

Detection Method

The detector examines the executable path of each process and checks if the base name is postgres.

Status Results

• READY: PostgreSQL process detected with a port (explicit via -p flag or PGPORT, otherwise defaults to 5432).
