This guide assumes you have installed Prometheus and Loki.

  • WHPG version 7.x running on RHEL 8 or RHEL 9.
  • A separate host for WarehousePG Enterprise Manager (WEM), running RHEL 8 or RHEL 9.
  • Loki 3.5 or later.
  • Prometheus 3.5.0 or later.
  • A database user that holds the superuser role and is able to connect to your WHPG cluster from the WEM host.
  • Optional: An active Anthropic account and a valid API key are required to enable the AI Assistant for query writing and optimization.
