Waiting for a replication slot control file to reach durable storage. to keep index reordering low and reduces its impact. Time when the currently active query was started, or if state is not active, when the last query was started. Number of data page checksum failures detected in this database (or on a shared object), or NULL if data checksums are not enabled. If the argument is NULL, reset statistics for all subscriptions. Its The next use of statistical information will (when in snapshot mode) cause a new snapshot to be built or (when in cache mode) accessed statistics to be cached. backup: This WAL sender is sending a backup. The server process is idle. gorthx on Twitter From pg_stat_activity i noticed that the wait_event_type and wait_event of these queries is as follows: Thanks for letting us know we're doing a good job! Resets statistics for a single subscription shown in the pg_stat_subscription_stats view to zero. Waiting for a read during a file copy operation. Current overall state of this backend. In all other states, it shows the last query that was executed. IP address of the client connected to this backend. Priority of this standby server for being chosen as the synchronous standby in a priority-based synchronous replication. If the current query is the first of its transaction, this column is equal to the, Time when the currently active query was started, or if. Waiting for a write to a replication slot control file. (Some locks have specific names; others are part of a group of locks each with a similar purpose.). When a buffer is read from disk (or written to disk), an IO in progress lock is also acquired, which indicates to other processes that the page is being read (or written) they can queue up if they need to do something with this page. Returns the TCP port number that the client is using for communication. The pg_stat_user_tables and pg_stat_sys_tables views contain the same information, but filtered to only show user and system tables respectively. The new locking scheme avoids grabbing system-wide exclusive locks in common code paths. The server process is waiting for a timeout to expire. Heavyweight locks, also known as lock manager locks or simply locks, primarily protect SQL-visible objects such as tables. Time when this process' current transaction was started, or null if no transaction is active. The pg_statio_all_tables view will contain one row for each table in the current database (including TOAST tables), showing statistics about I/O on that specific table. If you see anything in the documentation that is not correct, does not match pg_stat_get_backend_userid ( integer ) oid. replication_origin: Waiting to read or update the replication progress. See, One row per connection (regular and replication), showing information about SSL used on this connection. This has no effect in a quorum-based synchronous replication. This is controlled by configuration parameters that are normally set in postgresql.conf. Alternatively, one can build custom views using the underlying cumulative statistics functions, as discussed in Section28.2.24. pg_stat_get_backend_activity_start ( integer ) timestamp with time zone. Waiting to receive bytes from a shared message queue. See, One row per database, showing database-wide statistics. The server process is waiting for a heavyweight lock.

Waiting for a replication slot control file to reach durable storage while restoring it to memory. Waiting to access the sub-transaction SLRU cache. Waiting for a write of logical rewrite mappings. Each individual server process transmits new statistical counts to the collector just before going idle; so a query or transaction still in progress does not affect the displayed totals. Waiting for a read from a relation data file. Waiting for an elected Parallel Hash participant to allocate more batches. PostgreSQL also supports reporting dynamic information about exactly what is going on in the system right now, such as the exact command currently being executed by other server processes, and which other connections exist in the system. Waiting to read or update the progress of one replication origin. (For example, in psql you could issue \d+ pg_stat_activity.) This field will only be non-null for IP connections, and only when log_hostname is enabled. - a BufFreeList LWLock was getting acquired to find a free buffer for a page - to change the association of buffer in buffer mapping hash table a LWLock is acquired on a hash partition to which the buffer to be associated belongs and as there were just 16 such partitions, there was huge contention when multiple clients The pg_stat_slru view will contain one row for each tracked SLRU cache, showing statistics about access to cached pages. Waiting for a read of a logical mapping during reorder buffer management. Waiting in main loop of WAL sender process. pg_stat_get_activity, the underlying function of the pg_stat_activity view, returns a set of records containing all the available information about each backend process.

Waiting for I/O on commit timestamp buffer. pg_stat_get_activity, the underlying function of the pg_stat_activity view, returns a set of records containing all the available information about each backend process. Therefore, a bitmap scan increments the pg_stat_all_indexes.idx_tup_read count(s) for the index(es) it uses, and it increments the pg_stat_all_tables.idx_tup_fetch count for the table, but it does not affect pg_stat_all_indexes.idx_tup_fetch. 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.

The pg_stat_database view will contain one row for each database in the cluster, plus one for shared objects, showing database-wide statistics. Buffer pin waits can be protracted if another process holds an open cursor which last read data from the buffer in question. See, One row for each tracked function, showing statistics about executions of that function. Waiting for I/O on a multixact offset SLRU buffer. The reported lag times are not predictions of how long it will take for the standby to catch up with the sending server assuming the current rate of replay. Number of blocks zeroed during initializations, Number of times disk blocks were found already in the SLRU, so that a read was not necessary (this only includes hits in the SLRU, not the operating system's file system cache), Number of disk blocks written for this SLRU, Number of blocks checked for existence for this SLRU, Number of flushes of dirty data for this SLRU. See Table28.4. In a bitmap scan the output of several indexes can be combined via AND or OR rules, so it is difficult to associate individual heap row fetches with specific indexes when a bitmap scan is used. For details such as the functions' names, consult the definitions of the standard views. Waiting for a replication slot control file to reach durable storage while restoring it to memory. 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. Normally, WAL files are archived in order, oldest to newest, but that is not guaranteed, and does not hold under special circumstances like when promoting a standby or after crash recovery. This wait event information is relevant for all Aurora PostgreSQL 13 versions. Restrict the maximum number of connections to the database as a best practice. Waiting to acquire a speculative insertion lock. idle: The backend is waiting for a new client command. Time at which the last data page checksum failure was detected in this database (or on a shared object), or NULL if data checksums are not enabled. Before PostgreSQL 8.1, all operations of the shared buffer manager itself were protected by a single system-wide lock, the BufMgrLock, which unsurprisingly proved to be a source of contention. Synchronous state of this standby server. (To prevent ordinary users from hiding their activity from the administrator, only superusers are allowed to change these parameters with SET.). The argument can be bgwriter to reset all the counters shown in the pg_stat_bgwriter view, archiver to reset all the counters shown in the pg_stat_archiver view, wal to reset all the counters shown in the pg_stat_wal view or recovery_prefetch to reset all the counters shown in the pg_stat_recovery_prefetch view. 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. These access functions use a backend ID number, which ranges from one to the number of currently active backends. This field is truncated like client_dn. If a backend is in the active state, it may or may not be waiting on some event. Waiting to read or update the current state of autovacuum workers. 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. wait_event will identify the specific wait point. 213 * Prior to PostgreSQL 9.4, we used an enum type called LWLockId to refer. Waiting for WAL buffers to be written to disk. Similarly, information about the current queries of all sessions is collected when any such information is first requested within a transaction, and the same information will be displayed throughout the transaction. Waiting for the page number needed to continue a parallel B-tree scan to become available. The pg_stat_wal_receiver view will contain only one row, showing statistics about the WAL receiver from that receiver's connected server.

Waiting for WAL to reach durable storage during bootstrapping. Waiting for a write while initializing a new WAL file. The IO:DataFileRead wait event occurs while data is Possible values are: Wait event name if backend is currently waiting, otherwise NULL. Waiting for a serialized historical catalog snapshot to reach durable storage. When the buffer manager receives a request, PostgreSQL uses the buffer_tag of the desired page. This can be used to gauge the delay that, Time elapsed between flushing recent WAL locally and receiving notification that this standby server has written and flushed it (but not yet applied it). Detailed Description . Waiting for a read during reorder buffer management. So the displayed information lags behind actual activity. Waiting to get the start location of a scan on a table for synchronized scans. Waiting for a write while initializing a new WAL file. If the standby server has entirely caught up with the sending server and there is no more WAL activity, the most recently measured lag times will continue to be displayed for a short time and then show NULL. Waiting for a write of a timeline history file received via streaming replication. Waiting to read or update old snapshot control information. Waiting for a read when creating a new WAL segment by copying an existing one. The total number of rows in each table, and information about vacuum and analyze actions for each table are also counted. The parameter track_io_timing enables monitoring of block read and write times. For more information on lightweight locks, see Locking Overview. Users interested in obtaining more detailed information on PostgreSQL I/O behavior are advised to use the PostgreSQL statistics collector in combination with operating system utilities that allow insight into the kernel's handling of I/O. Every PostgreSQL process collects statistics locally, then updates the shared data at appropriate intervals. Waiting for a timeline history file received via streaming replication to reach durable storage. Waiting for a read of a timeline history file. The type of event for which the backend is waiting, if any; otherwise NULL. See, Only one row, showing statistics about the WAL receiver from that receiver's connected server.

Waiting to write a protocol message to a shared message queue. Table28.34. For example, to show the PIDs and current queries of all backends: Table28.20. When the server shuts down cleanly, a permanent copy of the statistics data is stored in the pg_stat subdirectory, so that statistics can be retained across server restarts. When recovery is performed at server start (e.g., after immediate shutdown, server crash, and point-in-time recovery), all statistics counters are reset. wait_event will identify the specific wait point. Waiting to read or update replication slot state. Returns the time when the backend's most recent query was started. Several predefined views, listed in Table28.1, are available to show the current state of the system. Waiting to read or update sub-transaction information.

Waiting for other Parallel Hash participants to finish inserting tuples into new buckets. Waiting to read or update vacuum-related information for a B-tree index. True if GSSAPI encryption is in use on this connection. shared_buffers parameter. 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. Waiting to associate a data block with a buffer in the buffer pool. It is quite possible that user has registered the tranche in one of the backends (by having allocation in dynamic shared memory) in which case other backends won't have that information, so we display extension for such cases. Waiting to allocate or assign a transaction id. potential: This standby server is now asynchronous, but can potentially become synchronous if one of current synchronous ones fails. pg_stat_get_backend_client_addr ( integer ) inet. Waiting for a read of a two phase state file. Additional functions related to statistics collection are listed in Table28.19. Waiting to read or update the last value set for a transaction commit timestamp. Definition: lwlock.h:190. However, they are also used to ensure mutual exclusion for certain internal operations such as relation extension. Thanks for letting us know this page needs work. 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. This is a feature, not a bug, because it allows you to perform several queries on the statistics and correlate the results without worrying that the numbers are changing underneath you. Waiting for activity from a child process while executing a. Returns the wait event name if this backend is currently waiting, otherwise NULL. Waiting during base backup when throttling activity. This documentation is for an unsupported version of PostgreSQL. Waiting to elect a Parallel Hash participant to allocate the initial hash table. Additional Statistics Functions. Resets statistics to zero for a single SLRU cache, or for all SLRUs in the cluster. Waiting in main loop of archiver process. Waiting between writes while performing a checkpoint. The per-index statistics are particularly useful to determine which indexes are being used and how effective they are. These access functions use a backend ID number, which ranges from one to the number of currently active backends. For an asynchronous standby, the replay_lag column approximates the delay before recent transactions became visible to queries. Re: Improve WALRead() to suck data directly from WAL buffers when possible Resets all statistics counters for the current database to zero. postgres 26 Heap_Insert BufferPin: The server process is waiting to access to a data buffer during a period when no other process can be examining that buffer.

The next use of statistical information will cause a new snapshot to be fetched. Waiting for a read of a logical mapping during reorder buffer management. Waiting to read or update dynamic shared memory allocation information. This counter is incremented each time a transaction is streamed, and the same transaction may be streamed multiple times. But processes can also await other events: Waits for input/output ( IO) occur when a process needs to read or write data. To reduce confusion for users expecting a different model of lag, the lag columns revert to NULL after a short time on a fully replayed idle system. Waiting to read or update the last value set for the transaction timestamp. OID of this database, or 0 for objects belonging to a shared relation. Waiting to read or write a data page in memory. The type of event for which the backend is waiting, if any; otherwise NULL. See, One row per SLRU, showing statistics of operations.

Waiting for SLRU data to reach durable storage following a page write. For tranches registered by extensions, the name is specified by extension and this will be displayed as wait_event. Increase the number of wal_buffers available to the database. fastpath function call: The backend is executing a fast-path function. Wait Events of Type Extension. to report a documentation issue. idle in transaction (aborted): This state is similar to idle in transaction, except one of the statements in the transaction caused an error. Waiting for any activity when processing replies from WAL receiver in WAL sender process. The latter will be less if any dead or not-yet-committed rows are fetched using the index, or if any heap fetches are avoided by means of an index-only scan. Number of times this function has been called, Total time spent in this function and all other functions called by it, in milliseconds, Total time spent in this function itself, not including other functions called by it, in milliseconds. Indexes can be used by simple index scans, bitmap index scans, and the optimizer. Waiting to read or update information about serializable transactions. If this field is null, it indicates that this is an internal server process. Waiting for an asynchronous prefetch from a relation data file.

Waiting to elect a Parallel Hash participant to allocate more buckets. Waiting for changes to a relation data file to reach durable storage. Waiting for group leader to clear transaction id at transaction end. Postgres Locking: When is it Concerning? Cumulative statistics are collected in shared memory. pg_stat_get_backend_wait_event ( integer ) text. Therefore it is not safe to assume that all files older than last_archived_wal have also been successfully archived. A backend process wants to read a page into shared memory. The server process is waiting for some condition defined by an extension module. Waiting for a write while creating the data directory lock file. Waiting to select the starting location of a synchronized table scan. For more information, see LWLock:buffer_content (BufferContent).

(To prevent ordinary users from hiding their activity from the administrator, only superusers are allowed to change these parameters with SET.). In some cases, the name assigned by an extension will not be available in all server processes; so an LWLock wait event might be reported as just extension rather than the extension-assigned name.

However, these statistics do not give the entire story: due to the way in which PostgreSQL handles disk I/O, data that is not in the PostgreSQL buffer cache might still reside in the kernel's I/O cache, and might therefore still be fetched without requiring a physical read. TCP port number that the client is using for communication with this WAL sender, or, Time when this process was started, i.e., when the client connected to this WAL sender. Waiting to insert WAL data into a memory buffer. Waiting to read or record conflicting serializable transactions. Waiting to acquire a lock on a page of a relation. See.
