Subject: pgsql: Add WAL data to backend statistics
Date: Tue, 11 Mar 2025 00:05:42 +0000
Message-ID: <[email protected]> (raw)
Add WAL data to backend statistics
This commit adds per-backend WAL statistics, providing the same
information as pg_stat_wal, except that it is now possible to know how
much WAL activity is happening in each backend rather than an overall
aggregate of all the activity. Like pg_stat_wal, the implementation
relies on pgWalUsage, tracking the difference of activity between two
reports to pgstats.
This data can be retrieved with a new system function called
pg_stat_get_backend_wal(), that returns one tuple based on the PID
provided in input. Like pg_stat_get_backend_io(), this is useful when
joined with pg_stat_activity to get a live picture of the WAL generated
for each running backend, showing how the activity is [un]balanced.
pgstat_flush_backend() gains a new flag value, able to control the flush
of the WAL stats.
This commit relies mostly on the infrastructure provided by
9aea73fc61d4, that has introduced backend statistics.
Bump catalog version. A bump of PGSTAT_FILE_FORMAT_ID is not required,
as backend stats do not persist on disk.
