Services provided by and with Elephant Shed Kubernetes Storage Monitoring Automation Open Security Filter Web Message brokers Training sessions What is Elephant Shed? Elephant Shed is a powerful appliance, which provides a complete PostgreSQL® database environment including all the appropriate tools required for operation. This appliance can be used at any time as a database server available for immediate use. It is suitable for use on hardware as well as in virtualized environments. Services provided by and with Elephant Shed Elephant Shed can be integrated into your in-house infrastructure as an appliance without any further dependencies and without a vendor lock. Numerous established Open Source projects have been integrated into the appliance, which can be reached via a convenient web interface and cover all areas of administration of a PostgreSQL® database. A central appliance dashboard provides the requisite overview. This dashboard can be used to access a multitude of other services. These include the provision and preparation of all important metrics by Prometheus and Grafana. All the relevant log information is compiled in automatically generated reports. pgBadger is used for this purpose. The integrated backup solution is already preconfigured to not only enable the recovery of the data, but also a down-to-the-second definition of the recovery time (point-in-time recovery ). The backup functionality is implemented by pgBackRest and supplemented by the GUI supplied by credativ®. To enable the convenient independent administration of the databases, pgAdmin4 has also been integrated into the appliance. All important functions that are needed to manage the underlying system are provided via the web interface. This allows services to be started, stopped, and restarted, log messages to be viewed or even the entire system to be updated. The management functions are executed via the system frontend Cockpit. The web interface also provides a shell that enables direct access via the console. The shell is launched directly in the browser. A direct SSH login is not required. The Shell In A Box project was used for this purpose. Comprehensive and continuously updated documentation is supplied for Elephant Shed and also provided via the integrated web interface.
