Subject: pgsql: Allow log_min_messages to be set per process type
Date: Mon, 09 Feb 2026 12:28:10 +0000

Allow log_min_messages to be set per process type

Change log_min_messages from being a single element to a comma-separated
list of type:level elements, with 'type' representing a process type,
and 'level' being a log level to use for that type of process.  The list
must also have a freestanding level specification which is used for
process types not listed, which convenientely makes the whole thing
backwards-compatible.

Some choices made here could be contested; for instance, we use the
process type `backend` to affect regular backends as well as dead-end
backends and the standalone backend, and `autovacuum` means both the
launcher and the workers.  I think it's largely sensible though, and it
can easily be tweaked if desired.
