smax-postgres is a daemon application, which can collect data from an SMA-X realtime database and insert these into a PostgreSQL database to create a time-series historical record for all or selected SMA-X variables. The program is highly customizable and supports both regular updates for changing variables as well as regular snapshots of all selected SMA-X variables.

The smax-postgres applications was created, and is maintained, by Attila Kovács at the Center for Astrophysics | Harvard & Smithsonian, and it is available through the Smithsonian/redisx repository on GitHub.
