Show queries running on PostgreSQL backends

pg_querylog

Show queries running on PostgreSQL backends.

Installation

make && make install
echo "shared_preload_libraries='pg_querylog'" >> postgresql.conf
psql postgres -c "create schema querylog; create extension pg_querylog schema querylog;"

Also you can use session_preload_libraries, but then enabled option should be always on since each starting backend will rewrite the value.

echo "session_preload_libraries='pg_querylog'" >> postgresql.conf

Using

Make sure it's loaded:

show session_preload_libraries

and enabled (by default it is disabled):

show pg_querylog.enabled

Get all saved queries using get_queries function:

select * from querylog.get_queries()

Result columns:

• pid - backend process ID
• query - running (or runned) query
• params - query parameters in case of parametrized query
• start_time - query start time
• end_time - query end time (if running == false)
• running - running status
• overflow - shows that buffer_size is enough for this item

Parameters:

• pg_querylog.buffer_size - buffer size for each saved query, calculated as sum of lenghts of query and its params.
• pg_querylog.enabled - controls saving queries.

For only running queries running_queries use this view:

select * from querylog.running_queries;
