Source
pig build pkg pg_jobmon; # build debInstall
Make sure PGDG and PIGSTY repo available:
pig repo add pgsql -u # add both repo and update cacheInstall this extension with pig:
pig install pg_jobmon; # install via package name, for the active PG version
pig install pg_jobmon -v 18; # install for PG 18
pig install pg_jobmon -v 17; # install for PG 17
pig install pg_jobmon -v 16; # install for PG 16

CREATE EXTENSION pg_jobmon CASCADE; -- requires dblinkUsage
pg_jobmon: Autonomous job logging and monitoring for PostgreSQL
pg_jobmon provides autonomous (non-transactional) logging for PostgreSQL transactions and functions. If a function fails, all log information written up to that point is preserved rather than rolled back.
CREATE SCHEMA jobmon;
CREATE EXTENSION pg_jobmon SCHEMA jobmon;Setup
The extension uses dblink to connect back to the same database (for non-transactional logging). Add credentials:
INSERT INTO jobmon.dblink_mapping_jobmon (username, pwd) VALUES ('rolename', 'rolepassword');For non-standard ports:
INSERT INTO jobmon.dblink_mapping_jobmon (host, username, pwd, port)
VALUES ('localhost', 'rolename', 'rolepassword', '5999');Core Logging Functions
-- Start a new job
SELECT jobmon.add_job('My Job Name');
-- Add a step to the job
SELECT jobmon.add_step(job_id, 'Step description');
-- Update step status
SELECT jobmon.update_step(step_id, 'OK', 'Step completed successfully');
SELECT jobmon.update_step(step_id, 'WARNING', 'Something unexpected');
-- Close the job
SELECT jobmon.close_job(job_id);
-- Or fail the job
SELECT jobmon.fail_job(job_id);Monitoring Functions
-- Check for failed jobs
SELECT * FROM jobmon.check_job_status();
-- View job history
SELECT * FROM jobmon.job_log ORDER BY start_time DESC;
-- View step details
SELECT * FROM jobmon.job_detail WHERE job_id = 123;The autonomous logging ensures that even if the parent transaction rolls back, the job log entries are preserved for troubleshooting.
