Waiting to elect a Parallel Hash participant to allocate a hash table. A backend process wants to read a page into shared memory. sync: This standby server is synchronous. Waiting to update limit on notification message storage. Normally these parameters are set in postgresql.conf so that they apply to all server processes, but it is possible to turn them on or off in individual sessions using the SET command. Waiting to access the multixact offset SLRU cache. Possible values are: active: The backend is executing a query. Waiting to access a shared tuple store during parallel query. Statistics Collection Configuration, One row per server process, showing information related to the current activity of that process, such as state and current query. The pg_stat_all_indexes view will contain one row for each index in the current database, showing statistics about accesses to that specific index. PostgreSQL's statistics collector is a subsystem that supports collection and reporting of information about server activity. Waiting for a write of a timeline history file received via streaming replication. If the state is active and wait_event is non-null, it means that a query is being executed, but is being blocked somewhere in the system. Other ways of looking at the statistics can be set up by writing queries that use the same underlying statistics access functions used by the standard views shown above. workload into more reader nodes. Waiting to apply WAL at recovery because it is delayed. wait_event will identify the type of lock awaited. Waiting to read or update the last value set for the transaction timestamp. Waiting for the relation map file to reach durable storage. The pg_stat_database view will contain one row for each database in the cluster, showing database-wide statistics. See, One row per connection (regular and replication), showing information about SSL used on this connection. to keep index reordering low and reduces its impact. When analyzing statistics interactively, or with expensive queries, the time delta between accesses to individual statistics can lead to significant skew in the cached statistics. Waiting for a write of logical rewrite mappings. Host name of the connected client, as reported by a reverse DNS lookup of, TCP port number that the client is using for communication with this backend, or. 28.2.3. This can be used to gauge the delay that synchronous_commit level on incurred while committing if this server was configured as a synchronous standby.

Waiting to choose the next subplan during Parallel Append plan execution. Synchronous state of this standby server. This block has to be read from outside the shared buffer pool, defined by the When the number of actual disk reads is much smaller than the number of buffer hits, then the cache is satisfying most read requests without invoking a kernel call. Each individual server process flushes out accumulated statistics to shared memory just before going idle, but not more frequently than once per PGSTAT_MIN_INTERVAL milliseconds (1 second unless altered while building the server); so a query or transaction still in progress does not affect the displayed totals and the displayed information lags behind actual activity. Waiting for a write to a relation data file. Number of decoded transactions sent to the decoding output plugin for this slot. Number of times WAL files were synced to disk via issue_xlog_fsync request (if fsync is on and wal_sync_method is either fdatasync, fsync or fsync_writethrough, otherwise zero). operations, Large or bloated indexes that require the engine to read more pages than necessary into the shared buffer pool, Lack of indexes that forces the DB engine to read more pages from the tables than necessary, Checkpoints occurring too frequently or needing to flush too many modified pages, Sudden spikes for database connections trying to perform operations on the same page. Therefore, while holding an exclusive lock, a process prevents other processes from acquiring a shared or exclusive lock. The pg_stat_user_functions view will contain one row for each tracked function, showing statistics about executions of that function. Waiting for other Parallel Hash participants to finish loading a hash table. This field is truncated like client_dn. Waiting in main loop of syslogger process.

Resets statistics for a single subscription shown in the pg_stat_subscription_stats view to zero. Heavyweight locks, also known as lock manager locks or simply locks, primarily protect SQL-visible objects such as tables. PostgreSQL accesses certain on-disk information via SLRU (simple least-recently-used) caches. Waiting for a write of a newly created timeline history file. Waiting for a replication slot control file to reach durable storage. quorum: This standby server is considered as a candidate for quorum standbys. This counter is incremented each time a transaction is spilled, and the same transaction may be spilled multiple times. Resets all statistics counters for the current database to zero. Such a system would show similar times while new WAL is being generated, but would differ when the sender becomes idle. Number of times WAL buffers were written out to disk via XLogWrite request.

Ordinary users can only see all the information about their own sessions (sessions belonging to a role that they are a member of). The buffer_tag comprises three values: the RelFileNode and the fork number of the relation to which its page belongs, and the block number of its page. See, One row per subscription, showing statistics about errors. A process acquires an LWLock in a shared mode to read from the buffer and . See Table28.5 through Table28.13. pg_stat_get_backend_xact_start ( integer ) timestamp with time zone.

If this field is null, it indicates that the client is connected via a Unix socket on the server machine. Waiting for WAL buffers to be written to disk. The optimizer also accesses indexes to check for supplied constants whose values are outside the recorded range of the optimizer statistics because the optimizer statistics might be stale. PostgreSQL is one of the most popular open-source databases in the world and has successful implementations across several mission-critical environments across various domains, using real-time high-end OLTP applications performing millions and billions of transactions per day. Presently, accesses to tables and indexes in both disk-block and individual-row terms are counted. Waiting for a two phase state file to reach durable storage. PostgreSQL utilizes lightweight locks (LWLocks) to synchronize and control access to the buffer content. The management of the buffers in PostgreSQL consists of a buffer descriptor that contains metadata about the buffer and the buffer content that is read from the disk. wait_event will contain a name identifying the purpose of the lightweight lock.

The fields returned are a subset of those in the pg_stat_activity view. backup: This WAL sender is sending a backup. This is the only column in this view that returns a value reflecting current state; all other columns return the accumulated values since the last reset. Monitoring systems should choose whether to represent this as missing data, zero or continue to display the last known value. The combination of certificate serial number and certificate issuer uniquely identifies a certificate (unless the issuer erroneously reuses serial numbers). Resets statistics for a single table or index in the current database or shared across all databases in the cluster to zero. When the number of actual disk reads is much smaller than the number of buffer hits, then the cache is satisfying most read requests without invoking a kernel call.

Waiting for a replication slot control file to reach durable storage while restoring it to memory. A process can wait for the data needed from a client ( Client) or another process ( IPC ). @ LWTRANCHE_REPLICATION_SLOT_IO. The idx_tup_read and idx_tup_fetch counts can be different even without any use of bitmap scans, because idx_tup_read counts index entries retrieved from the index while idx_tup_fetch counts live rows fetched from the table. Process ID of a backend or WAL sender process, Version of SSL in use, or NULL if SSL is not in use on this connection, Name of SSL cipher in use, or NULL if SSL is not in use on this connection, Number of bits in the encryption algorithm used, or NULL if SSL is not used on this connection.
