WHAT’S NEW

This update is notifying you of the new software release of Postgres Enterprise Manager (PEM) 8.1.0 from EDB. PEM combines monitoring, alerting, tuning, and database administration into a single GUI. This tool manages multiple open source PostgreSQL, EDB Postgres Advanced Server, and EDB Postgres Extended clusters.

New features and improvements for this release:

BDR (Bi-Directional Replication) dashboards and probes to monitor status and activities for Admin, Nodes, and Groups. For example, if replication starts falling behind, the administrator will be alerted and can take proactive action.

Feature

Kerberos security and authentication for PEM Web Client through GSSAPI or Active Directory Domain Services. Prevent password interception and prove identity required by highly regulated industries.

Feature
