PostgreSQL Table Bloat and Autovacuum Starvation Sentinel

id: postgres-table-bloat-and-autovacuum-sentinel
namespace: company.database

description: |
  Inspects PostgreSQL dead tuple ratios and autovacuum starvation across tables,
  identifies high-bloat tables exceeding thresholds, files GitHub maintenance issues,
  and notifies on-call database engineers via Slack.

    defaults: 20.0

  - id: min_dead_tuples
    type: INT
    displayName: Minimum Dead Tuple Count
    defaults: 10000

  - id: target_repository

      ## PostgreSQL Table Bloat & Dead Tuple Sentinel

      - **Target Table:** `{{ outputs.analyze_table_bloat.vars.highest_bloat_table }}`
      - **Dead Tuple Ratio:** `{{ outputs.analyze_table_bloat.vars.highest_bloat_ratio }}%` (Configured threshold: `{{ inputs.dead_tuple_ratio_threshold }}%`)
      - **Dead Tuples:** `{{ outputs.analyze_table_bloat.vars.worst_dead_tuples }}`
      - **Recommended Action:** Schedule `VACUUM (VERBOSE, ANALYZE)` or investigate autovacuum settings (`autovacuum_vacuum_scale_factor`).
