CREATE EXTENSION pg_sqlog CASCADE; -- requires file_fdwUsage
pg_sqlog provides a SQL interface for querying PostgreSQL CSV log files using a foreign table backed by file_fdw.
Querying Logs
-- Current day's log
SELECT * FROM sqlog.log();
-- Specific day's log
SELECT * FROM sqlog.log('yesterday');
SELECT * FROM sqlog.log('2024-01-15');
-- Error summary
SELECT error_severity, COUNT(*) FROM sqlog.log() GROUP BY 1;Slow Query Analysis
-- Top 3 slowest query patterns
SELECT
AVG(sqlog.duration(message)) AS avg_duration,
COUNT(*) AS count,
sqlog.preparable_query(message) AS query_pattern
FROM sqlog.log()
WHERE message ~ '^duration'
GROUP BY 3
ORDER BY 1 DESC
LIMIT 3;
-- Query summary with timing
SELECT
log_time::time,
sqlog.duration(message),
sqlog.summary(message)
FROM sqlog.log('yesterday')
WHERE message ~ '^duration';Functions
| Function | Description |
|---|---|
sqlog.log([timestamp]) | Returns log contents for a given day |
sqlog.set_date([timestamp]) | Set the date for sqlog.log table queries |
sqlog.duration(text) | Extract query duration from message (ms) |
sqlog.preparable_query(text) | Replace arguments with ? for grouping |
sqlog.summary(text, int, int) | Strip metadata, show first/last N chars |
sqlog.temporary_file_size(text) | Extract temp file size from message |
sqlog.autovacuum([timestamp]) | Autovacuum report for a given day |
sqlog.autoanalyze([timestamp]) | Autoanalyze report for a given day |
Autovacuum Reports
SELECT * FROM sqlog.autovacuum() LIMIT 5;
SELECT * FROM sqlog.autoanalyze() LIMIT 5;Prerequisites
