Nikolay and Michael discuss logging in Postgres — mostly what to log, and why changing quite a few settings can pay off big time in the long term.
Here are some links to things they mentioned:
- What to log https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/runtime-config-logging.html#RUNTIME-CONFIG-LOGGING-WHAT
- Our episode about Auditing https://postgres.fm/episodes/auditing
- Our episode on auto_explain https://postgres.fm/episodes/auto_explain
Here are the parameters they mentioned changing:
- log_checkpoints
- log_autovacuum_min_duration
- log_statement
- log_connections and log_disconnections
- log_lock_waits
- log_temp_files
- log_min_duration_statement
- log_min_duration_sample and log_statement_sample_rate
And finally, some very useful tools they meant to mention but forgot to!
