Running the EDB Postgres AI agent Innovation Release

Run the agent:

beacon-agent
Tip

See Agent CLI for other agent modes and options.

The agent starts sending data to Hybrid Manager (HM). Follow the logs to monitor the data ingestion process. After a few minutes, the data from the agent appears in the HM console:

  • In the Estate section, the Postgres tab lists your Postgres databases along with summarized database information. Selecting one of the databases provides a more detailed database overview and monitoring capabilities.

  • The Estate > Migrations tab lists your external databases (for example, Oracle) along with summarized database and migration information. Selecting one of the databases provides a more detailed migration assessment and migration capabilities.

Important

The agent detects schema changes to tables and columns while running. However, changes to views or procedures aren't detected until you restart the agent.

For production use, configure the agent to run as a service.
