Queries to monitor your PostgreSQL database

These have been compiled from multiple sources like the postgresql wiki, and check_postgres.

Usage

These PREPAREd statements are essentially queries with names (and 0 arguments) for convenience. Once you have executed a PREPARE, you can run it using EXECUTE like so:

EXECUTE query_stats;

You can either copy/paste these in selectively, or use the full list of queries.

Cost

These queries can be run periodically to send data to your monitoring system. They are all cheap enough to be run every few seconds even during heavy load.

Queries

current_queries_status (pg9.x)

PREPARE current_queries_status AS
SELECT count(pid), query, waiting from pg_stat_activity group by query, waiting;

current_queries_status_with_locks (pg9.x)

PREPARE current_queries_status_with_locks AS
SELECT count(pg_stat_activity.pid) AS number_of_queries,
 substring(trim(LEADING
 FROM regexp_replace(pg_stat_activity.query, '[\n\r]+'::text,
 ' '::text, 'g'::text))
 FROM 0
 FOR 200) AS query_name,
 max(age(CURRENT_TIMESTAMP, query_start)) AS max_wait_time,
 waiting,
 usename,
 locktype,
 mode,
 granted
 FROM pg_stat_activity
 LEFT JOIN pg_locks ON pg_stat_activity.pid = pg_locks.pid
 WHERE query != '<IDLE>'
 AND query NOT ILIKE '%pg_%' AND query NOT ILIKE '%application_name%' AND query NOT ILIKE '%inet%'
 AND age(CURRENT_TIMESTAMP, query_start) > '5 milliseconds'::interval
 GROUP BY query_name,
 waiting,
 usename,
 locktype,
 mode,
 granted
 ORDER BY max_wait_time DESC;

current_queries_status_with_locks (pg10)

PREPARE current_queries_status_with_locks AS
SELECT count(pg_stat_activity.pid) AS number_of_queries,
 substring(trim(LEADING
 FROM regexp_replace(pg_stat_activity.query, '[\n\r]+'::text,
 ' '::text, 'g'::text))
 FROM 0
 FOR 200) AS query_name,
 max(age(CURRENT_TIMESTAMP, query_start)) AS max_wait_time,
 wait_event,
 usename,
 locktype,
 mode,
 granted
 FROM pg_stat_activity
 LEFT JOIN pg_locks ON pg_stat_activity.pid = pg_locks.pid
 WHERE query != '<IDLE>'
 AND query NOT ILIKE '%pg_%' AND query NOT ILIKE '%application_name%' AND query NOT ILIKE '%inet%'
 AND age(CURRENT_TIMESTAMP, query_start) > '5 milliseconds'::interval
 GROUP BY query_name,
 wait_event,
 usename,
 locktype,
 mode,
 granted
 ORDER BY max_wait_time DESC;

query_stats

PREPARE query_stats AS
SELECT LEFT(query,50) AS query,
 calls, total_time, rows, shared_blks_hit,
 local_blks_hit, blk_read_time, blk_write_time
FROM pg_stat_statements
WHERE EXISTS(SELECT * FROM pg_available_extensions
 WHERE name = 'pg_stat_statements')
ORDER BY calls DESC;
  • This requires pg_stat_statements to be set up. It's a part of the contrib package, and needs to be added to shared_preload_libraries in postgresql.conf.

Long Running Queries

sql
SELECT
 pid,
 user,
 pg_stat_activity.query_start,
 now() - pg_stat_activity.query_start AS query_time,
 query,
 state,
 wait_event_type,
 wait_event
FROM pg_stat_activity
WHERE (now() - pg_stat_activity.query_start) > interval '5 minutes';

This enables you to know the queries running for more than x Minutes (5 here). This gives you visibility as what might be hogging up your CPU and network pool. Crucial in determining what might take your DB down in high traffic.

Cache

cache_tables

PREPARE cache_tables AS
SELECT relname AS "relation",
 heap_blks_read AS heap_read,
 heap_blks_hit AS heap_hit,
 ( (heap_blks_hit*100) / NULLIF((heap_blks_hit + heap_blks_read), 0)) AS ratio
FROM pg_statio_user_tables;

cache_total

PREPARE cache_total AS
SELECT sum(heap_blks_read) AS heap_read,
 sum(heap_blks_hit) AS heap_hit,
 (sum(heap_blks_hit)*100 / NULLIF((sum(heap_blks_hit) + sum(heap_blks_read)),0)) AS ratio
FROM pg_statio_user_tables;

Disk usage

table_sizes

PREPARE table_sizes AS
SELECT relname AS "relation",
 pg_size_pretty(pg_total_relation_size(C.oid)) AS "total_size"
FROM pg_class C
LEFT JOIN pg_namespace N ON (N.oid = C.relnamespace)

 AND nspname ='public'
ORDER BY pg_total_relation_size(C.oid) DESC;

relation_sizes

PREPARE relation_sizes AS
SELECT relname AS "relation",
 pg_size_pretty(pg_relation_size(C.oid)) AS "size"
FROM pg_class C
LEFT JOIN pg_namespace N ON (N.oid = C.relnamespace)
WHERE nspname = 'public'
ORDER BY pg_relation_size(C.oid) DESC;

db_size

PREPARE db_size AS
SELECT pg_size_pretty(pg_database_size(current_database()));
