It's my goal to create a kit that contains essential queries and resources for administering HP's Vertica. You can check out what I've done so far at vertica.tips.

The goal of these queries is to provide as much information as possible covering monitoring, diagnostics and performance tuning. This idea is heavily inspired by Glenn Barry's SQL Server diagnostic queries and Ola Hallengren's SQL Server maintenance solution.
The June 2015 release has the following changes:
- Updated Tables Without Primary Keys query to check for additional constraints as it may have reported incorrect information (hat tip to Allen Cook at Conclusive Analytics)
- Configuration Information View
- License Information
- Database Size
- License Utilization
- Nodes in the Cluster
- Down Nodes in the Cluster
- K-Safety Level
- Number of Node Failures Before Automatic Shut Down
- Data Collector Status
- Changed Configuration Parameters
- Diagnostic Information View
- Queries returned < 1 sec
- Queries returned between 1 and 2 sec
- Queries returned between 2 and 3 sec
- Queries returned between 3 and 4 sec
- Queries returned between 4 and 5 sec
- Queries returned > 5 sec
- Query Events
- Rejected Load Events
- Tables Without Primary Keys
- Percent of Database Deleted
- Resource Rejections
- Projections Without Refresh In Last 3 Months
- Projection Columns Without Refresh In Last 1 Month
- Projection Columns Without Full Statistics
- Resource Information View
- Disk Space Utilization
