General Architecture

PEM is composed of three primary components:

The PEM Server

The PEM server provides the functionality at the core of Postgres Enterprise Manager. The server is responsible for:

• Performing administrative functions.

• Processing information received from agents.

• Maintaining information in its repository.

The PEM Agent

The PEM agent is responsible for performing tasks on each managed machine and collecting statistics for the database server and operating system.

The PEM Web Interface

Distributed with the PEM server, the PEM web interface allows you to connect to the server with your choice of browser to manage and monitor your Postgres servers.
