Enables for example to save on data volumes when having a lot of replicas. +* New PG dashboard - DB overview time lag comparison, enables to visually compare 2 time ranges. +* New PG dashboard - Systems stats time lag comparison, enables to visually compare 2 time ranges. +* Metrics - introduce a new metrics attribute "statement_timeout_seconds" to override per host "statement_timeout". +* Documentation - add separate "docs" section backed by readthedocs: https://pgwatch2.readthedocs.io/. +* Gatherer improvement - allow "adhoc" mode to monitor all DB-s of an instance. +* Gatherer improvement - make startup connection check to config/metricsDB more resilient. +* Gatherer improvement - append instead of overwrite when using JSON-file metrics persistence. +* Metrics - Add an "azure" preset tuned for Microsoft's managed service (@Sascha8a). +* Dashboards - replace "Session count" panel with TPS / QPS for "DB Overview" (PG). +* Dashboards - make "Stat Statements Top" a lot faster for (PG). +* Dashboards - major overhaul of Global DB Overview (PG). +* Dashboards - tag all preset dashboards with "pgwatch2". +* Metric helpers - More secure SECURITY DEFINER helpers, search_path is now inspecting during rollout (@laurenz). +* Docker images - set 500ms wal-fsync-delay for InfluxDB backed images. +* Docker images - add a new "db-bootstrapper" image that can roll out config DB or metric DB schemas. +* Docker component update - Influx 1.8.3, Go 1.15.3. +* Code - switch to Go Modules (@pashagolub). + +NB! When migrating existing "config DB" based setups, all previous schema migration diffs with bigger version numbers need to be +applied first from the "pgwatch2/sql/config_store/migrations/" (or /etc/pgwatch2/sql/config_store/migrations/ if using +ther pre-built packages) folder. Also it is highly recommended to refresh all the metric definitions as they're constantly improved. +For that there's also a refresh_metrics_from_github.sh script provided. YAML based setups don't need any extra actions besides +refreshing from Git or installing the new RPM / DEB / Tar packages. + +This release added 1 SQL diff to be applied for Config DB based setups: +https://github.com/cybertec-postgresql/pgwatch2/blob/master/pgwatch2/sql/config_store/migrations/v1.8.1-1_standby_config.sql + + ## v1.8.0 [2020-07-09] * New feature - native support for Pgpool status monitoring + a dash. Makes use of SHOW POOL_NODES and SHOW POOL_PROCESSES commands.
