Waiting to read or truncate multixact information. This block has to be read from outside the shared buffer pool, defined by the Number of backends currently connected to this database. Waiting to access the transaction status SLRU cache. Waiting for a replication slot to become inactive to be dropped. But if you want to see new results with each query, be sure to do the queries outside any transaction block. Waiting to acquire a lock on a non-relation database object. See, One row only, showing statistics about the background writer process's activity. BufferPin: The server process is waiting to access to a data buffer during a period when no other process can be examining that buffer. finish their input/output (I/O) operations when concurrently trying to access a page. The pg_statio_all_indexes view will contain one row for each index in the current database, showing statistics about I/O on that specific index. (For example, in psql you could issue \d+ pg_stat_activity.) Indexes can be used by simple index scans, bitmap index scans, and the optimizer. Process ID of the subscription worker process, OID of the relation that the worker is synchronizing; null for the main apply worker, Last write-ahead log location received, the initial value of this field being 0, 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, True if SSL compression is in use, false if not, or NULL if SSL is not in use on this connection, Distinguished Name (DN) field from the client certificate used, or NULL if no client certificate was supplied or if SSL is not in use on this connection. 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. Note that this includes data that is streamed and/or spilled. The pg_stat_bgwriter view will always have a single row, containing global data for the cluster. 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 write to a relation data file. Alternatively, one can build custom views using the underlying cumulative statistics functions, as discussed in Section28.2.24. Waiting for the relation map file to reach durable storage. Waiting for a barrier event to be processed by all backends. 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. wait_event will identify the specific wait point. Waiting for the version file to be written while creating a database. Waiting in main loop of archiver process. Restrict the maximum number of connections to the database as a best practice.

If the argument is NULL, reset statistics for all subscriptions. idle in transaction: The backend is in a transaction, but is not currently executing a query. Waiting to update limit on notification message storage. It works like this: 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. Returns the OID of the database this backend is connected to. Waiting for a write of a WAL page during bootstrapping. The server process is waiting for some interaction with another server process. Waiting to read or update dynamic shared memory allocation information. If this field is null, it indicates that the client is connected via a Unix socket on the server machine. The pg_stat_all_tables view will contain one row for each table in the current database (including TOAST tables), showing statistics about accesses to that specific table. PostgreSQL 15.2, 14.7, 13.10, 12.14, and 11.19 Released, 28.2.1. The access functions for per-database statistics take a database OID as an argument to identify which database to report on. 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. Simple test for lock_waits log messages. Waiting for a write to update the control file. quorum: This standby server is considered as a candidate for quorum standbys. Waiting to add a message to the shared catalog invalidation queue. 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. Possible values are: Activity status of the WAL receiver process, First write-ahead log location used when WAL receiver is started, First timeline number used when WAL receiver is started, Last write-ahead log location already received and flushed to disk, the initial value of this field being the first log location used when WAL receiver is started, Timeline number of last write-ahead log location received and flushed to disk, the initial value of this field being the timeline number of the first log location used when WAL receiver is started, Send time of last message received from origin WAL sender, Receipt time of last message received from origin WAL sender, Last write-ahead log location reported to origin WAL sender, Time of last write-ahead log location reported to origin WAL sender, Replication slot name used by this WAL receiver.

Waiting in background writer process, hibernating. Waiting for logical rewrite mappings to reach durable storage during a checkpoint. Most such locks protect a particular data structure in shared memory. After v9.5, the buffer cache is protected by 128 hash tables each protected by a LWLock. 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. Several predefined views, listed in Table28.1, are available to show the current state of the system. For details such as the functions' names, consult the definitions of the standard views. Amount of decoded transaction data spilled to disk while performing decoding of changes from WAL for this slot. Waiting for logical replication remote server to change state. (The path case can be distinguished because it will always be an absolute path, beginning with /.). Waiting to read or update sub-transaction information. active: The backend is executing a query. PostgreSQL's cumulative statistics system supports collection and reporting of information about server activity. Waiting in main loop of syslogger process. 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. 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 to update limits on transaction id and multixact consumption. The pg_statio_user_indexes and pg_statio_sys_indexes views contain the same information, but filtered to only show user and system indexes respectively. Waiting for parallel workers to finish computing. For an asynchronous standby, the replay_lag column approximates the delay before recent transactions became visible to queries. Possible values are: active: The backend is executing a query. Each buffer header also contains an LWLock, the "buffer content lock", that *does* represent the right to access the data: in the buffer. Waiting to ensure that the table it has selected for a vacuum still needs vacuuming. 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. The access functions for per-database statistics take a database OID as an argument to identify which database to report on. backup: This WAL sender is sending a backup. Waiting to read or update the current state of autovacuum workers. Returns a record of information about the backend with the specified process ID, or one record for each active backend in the system if NULL is specified. See, One row for each table in the current database, showing statistics about accesses to that specific table. (For example, in psql you could issue \d+ pg_stat_activity.) Waiting for an update to the control file to reach durable storage. Waiting for a logical replication remote server to change state. Waiting to receive bytes from a shared message queue. 213 * Prior to PostgreSQL 9.4, we used an enum type called LWLockId to refer. 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. Sometimes it may be more convenient to obtain just a subset of this information. (See Chapter19 for details about setting configuration parameters.). Returns the wait event type name if this backend is currently waiting, otherwise NULL. Waiting for SLRU data to reach durable storage following a page write. Common causes for the LWLock:BufferIO event to appear in top waits include the following: Multiple backends or connections trying to access the same page that's It can be joined to pg_stat_activity or pg_stat_replication on the pid column to get more details about the connection. Waiting in main loop of syslogger process. See, One row for each backend (including autovacuum worker processes) running, One row for each WAL sender process streaming a base backup, showing current progress. See Table28.4. checksum_last_failure timestamp with time zone. Waiting to access the shared per-process data structures (typically, to get a snapshot or report a session's transaction ID). Additional Statistics Functions. From the Actions drop-down menu, choose Create Read Replica. The parameter track_functions enables tracking of usage of user-defined functions. Waiting for a read during reorder buffer management. number of buffers needed by the current workload, The size of the shared buffer pool not being well balanced with the number of pages being evicted by other There is no order to the granting of LWLocks and in a high concurrency system this can cause contention. Number of data page checksum failures detected in this database (or on a shared object), or NULL if data checksums are not enabled. Synchronous state of this standby server. Therefore, while holding an exclusive lock, a process prevents other processes from acquiring a shared or exclusive lock. However, they are also used to ensure mutual exclusion for certain internal operations such as relation extension. LWTRANCHE_BUFFER_CONTENT @ LWTRANCHE_BUFFER_CONTENT. In contrast, when starting from an unclean shutdown (e.g., after an immediate shutdown, a server crash, starting from a base backup, and point-in-time recovery), all statistics counters are reset. Extensions can register their specific waits ( Extension ). Waiting for an elected Parallel Hash participant to finish allocating more buckets. All temporary files are counted, regardless of why the temporary file was created, and regardless of the log_temp_files setting. Lag times work automatically for physical replication. Waiting for data to reach durable storage while creating the data directory lock file. Waiting to read or update the state of logical replication workers. Returns the text of this backend's most recent query. There are also several other views, listed in Table28.2, available to show the results of statistics collection. Waiting for parallel bitmap scan to become initialized. Waiting to retrieve messages from the shared catalog invalidation queue. The track_functions parameter controls exactly which functions are tracked. This view will only contain information on standby servers, since conflicts do not occur on master servers. Waiting for a read from a relation data file. Waiting for a replication slot to become inactive so it can be dropped. See, One row for each table in the current database, showing statistics about I/O on that specific table. The pg_stat_user_indexes and pg_stat_sys_indexes views contain the same information, but filtered to only show user and system indexes respectively. Waiting for truncate of mapping data during a logical rewrite. The server process is idle. Some of the information in the dynamic statistics views shown in Table28.1 is security restricted. Waiting for a two phase state file to reach durable storage. The new locking scheme avoids grabbing system-wide exclusive locks in common code paths. See, One row for each sequence in the current database, showing statistics about I/O on that specific sequence. 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. The type of event for which the backend is waiting, if any; otherwise NULL. Waiting for startup process to send initial data for streaming replication. The pg_stat_slru view will contain one row for each tracked SLRU cache, showing statistics about access to cached pages. This function is restricted to superusers by default, but other users can be granted EXECUTE to run the function. Resetting these counters can cause autovacuum to not perform necessary work, which can cause problems such as table bloat or out-dated table statistics. Note that this includes the transactions that are streamed and/or spilled. 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. Waiting for SLRU data to reach durable storage following a page write. See, One row for each backend (including autovacuum worker processes) running, One row only, showing statistics about the WAL archiver process's activity. A database-wide ANALYZE is recommended after the statistics have been reset. 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. Possible values are: async: This standby server is asynchronous. This field is truncated like client_dn. Thus, the server expects something to happen that is independent of its internal processes.

Provide feedback Time when this process' current transaction was started, or null if no transaction is active. The server process is waiting for exclusive access to a data buffer. Waiting for base backup to read from a file. The pg_statio_user_tables and pg_statio_sys_tables views contain the same information, but filtered to only show user and system tables respectively. Here is an example of how wait events can be viewed: The pg_stat_replication view will contain one row per WAL sender process, showing statistics about replication to that sender's connected standby server. Note, however, that the existence of a session and its general properties such as its sessions user and database are visible to all users. This includes the sync time when wal_sync_method is either open_datasync or open_sync. Waiting to write a protocol message to a shared message queue. See. The parameter track_wal_io_timing enables monitoring of WAL write times. This facility is independent of the cumulative statistics system. 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. 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, flushed and applied it. Waiting for logical rewrite mappings to reach durable storage during a checkpoint. It can be joined to pg_stat_activity or pg_stat_replication on the pid column to get more details about the connection. See, One row per database, showing database-wide statistics.

Waiting in background writer process, hibernating. Waiting for a relation data file to be extended. Waiting for mapping data to reach durable storage during a logical rewrite. This counter is incremented each time a transaction is streamed, and the same transaction may be streamed multiple times. PostgreSQL Entangled in Locks: Attempts to free it - Amit Kapila - Dilip Kumar PGCon 2017 . Waiting in WAL receiver to establish connection to remote server. A process can wait for the data needed from a client ( Client) or another process ( IPC ). Priority of this standby server for being chosen as the synchronous standby in a priority-based synchronous replication. Waiting in a cost-based vacuum delay point. See, One row for each tracked function, showing statistics about executions of that function. The per-table and per-index functions take a table or index OID. Name of this database, or NULL for shared objects.

The pg_stat_ssl view will contain one row per backend or WAL sender process, showing statistics about SSL usage on this connection. IP address of the client connected to this WAL sender. Logical decoding plugins may optionally emit tracking messages; if they do not, the tracking mechanism will simply display NULL lag. Principal used to authenticate this connection, or NULL if GSSAPI was not used to authenticate this connection. The function pg_stat_get_backend_idset provides a convenient way to generate one row for each active backend for invoking these functions.
