DBPROBE(1)

💅 DBPROBE(1) — like, the manual page bestie 💅

okay so you found the dbprobe page in the General Commands Manual and I am SO proud of you for reading docs, that's genuinely main character behavior 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

dbprobe — database response time and availability information 🌸

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

dbprobe.pl [delay]

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

okay bestie, here's the tea ☕

The dbprobe utility is the little icon it is because it's what pmdadbping(1) uses to measure response time from a database. The way that it works is: a given query gets executed on the database at whatever interval you asked for — that's the delay argument — and ngl if you don't pass a delay, it just defaults to 60 seconds. Sixty. A whole minute. She's patient, she's chill 💅

And then?? This response time measure can be exported via the Performance Co-Pilot framework for live AND historical monitoring using pmdadbping(1). Both. At the same time. Ate, no cap 🔥

💀 reminder that this thing is literally reporting on whether your database is up and how fast it's answering — so it's giving "vibe check for your DB" energy and honestly? obsessed.
