## Projektgeschichte und Nutzung

check_postgres is a Perl monitoring plugin for PostgreSQL, designed primarily for Nagios but also documenting MRTG, Cacti, and simple output modes.

### Projektgeschichte

The script copyright begins in 2007 under Greg Sabino Mullane. Its GitHub repository was created in May 2009, and the embedded documentation describes many PostgreSQL actions, output modes, rc-file support, and mailing lists for announcements and general development.

### Adoptionsgeschichte

The README gives both a quick Nagios-script installation path and a standard Perl Makefile.PL build path. The batch input records packaging across Homebrew, Alpine, Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, and openSUSE families.

### Wie es verwendet wird

Administrators use check_postgres actions to monitor connections, locks, bloat, replication, database size, transaction age, settings checksums, pgbouncer state, and many other PostgreSQL operational signals.

### Warum Paket-Nerds sich dafür interessieren

check_postgres is a classic ops package: a single Perl monitoring tool with many symlink-friendly subcommands, Nagios exit codes, packageable docs, and long-running compatibility concerns around PostgreSQL client binaries and credentials.
