Such a system would show similar times while new WAL is being generated, but would differ when the sender becomes idle. Waiting to read or update information about the state of synchronous replication. This facility is independent of the collector process. Pointers to free buffers and to the next victim are protected by one buffer strategy lock spinlock. Waiting for a replication slot to become inactive so it can be dropped. Waiting for a write of mapping data during a logical rewrite. Waiting to read or update the fast-path lock information. streaming: This WAL sender is streaming changes after its connected standby server has caught up with the primary. Waits for a buffer pin ( BufferPin ). events. - a BufFreeList LWLock was getting acquired to find a free buffer for a page - to change the association of buffer in buffer mapping hash table a LWLock is acquired on a hash partition to which the buffer to be associated belongs and as there were just 16 such partitions, there was huge contention when multiple clients The parameter track_io_timing enables monitoring of block read and write times. Number of times transactions were spilled to disk while decoding changes from WAL for this slot. Amount of decoded transaction data spilled to disk while performing decoding of changes from WAL for this slot. Waiting for the page number needed to continue a parallel B-tree scan to become available. Waiting to find or allocate space in shared memory. Resets statistics of the replication slot defined by the argument. Waiting to read or update background worker state. pg_stat_get_backend_activity ( integer ) text. Normally these parameters are set in postgresql.conf so that they apply to all server processes, but it is possible to turn them on or off in individual sessions using the SET command. However, current-query information collected by track_activities is always up-to-date. Priority of this standby server for being chosen as the synchronous standby in a priority-based synchronous replication. This is a feature, not a bug, because it allows you to perform several queries on the statistics and correlate the results without worrying that the numbers are changing underneath you. Host name of the connected client, as reported by a reverse DNS lookup of, TCP port number that the client is using for communication with this backend, or. Waiting in main loop of WAL receiver process. Waiting to read or update shared multixact state. See, One row for each index in the current database, showing statistics about accesses to that specific index. Waiting in WAL receiver to receive data from remote server. Number of temporary files created by queries in this database. See, One row per subscription, showing statistics about errors. Waiting to read or update a process' fast-path lock information. Copyright 1996-2023 The PostgreSQL Global Development Group, PostgreSQL 15.2, 14.7, 13.10, 12.14, and 11.19 Released, 28.2.1. Returns the IP address of the client connected to this backend. Several predefined views, listed in Table28.1, are available to show the current state of the system. Waiting for a logical replication remote server to change state. pg_stat_reset_replication_slot ( text ) void. OID of the user logged into this WAL sender process, Name of the user logged into this WAL sender process, Name of the application that is connected to this WAL sender. Waiting a new WAL segment created by copying an existing one to reach durable storage. Waiting for a write of a two phase state file. Timeout: The server process is waiting for a timeout to expire. The reported lag times are not predictions of how long it will take for the standby to catch up with the sending server assuming the current rate of replay. Waiting for a read during reorder buffer management. Increase the number of wal_buffers available to the database. See Table28.4 for details. Note that this includes data that is streamed and/or spilled. Waiting to read while creating the data directory lock file. The reported lag times are not predictions of how long it will take for the standby to catch up with the sending server assuming the current rate of replay. workload into more reader nodes. See, One row only, showing statistics about WAL activity. Logical decoding plugins may optionally emit tracking messages; if they do not, the tracking mechanism will simply display NULL lag. The pg_stat_all_indexes view will contain one row for each index in the current database, showing statistics about accesses to that specific index. These access functions use a backend ID number, which ranges from one to the number of currently active backends. However, these statistics do not give the entire story: due to the way in which PostgreSQL handles disk I/O, data that is not in the PostgreSQL buffer cache might still reside in the kernel's I/O cache, and might therefore still be fetched without requiring a physical read. See. Name of the user logged into this backend, Name of the application that is connected to this backend. To reduce confusion for users expecting a different model of lag, the lag columns revert to NULL after a short time on a fully replayed idle system. It is used per the rules above. What we have discussed in this episode of 5mins of Postgres. Returns the set of currently active backend ID numbers (from 1 to the number of active backends). Synchronous state of this standby server. streaming: This WAL sender is streaming changes after its connected standby server has caught up with the primary. If the standby server has entirely caught up with the sending server and there is no more WAL activity, the most recently measured lag times will continue to be displayed for a short time and then show NULL. It can be joined to pg_stat_activity or pg_stat_replication on the pid column to get more details about the connection. Waiting for a read of a logical mapping during reorder buffer management. (Conflicts occur only on standby servers; see, Number of temporary files created by queries in this database. See, At least one row per subscription, showing information about the subscription workers. Before PostgreSQL 8.1, all operations of the shared buffer manager itself were protected by a single system-wide lock, the BufMgrLock, which unsurprisingly proved to be a source of contention. Last write-ahead log location already received and flushed to disk, the initial value of this field being the first log location used when WAL receiver is started, Timeline number of last write-ahead log location received and flushed to disk, the initial value of this field being the timeline number of the first log location used when WAL receiver is started, last_msg_send_time timestamp with time zone, Send time of last message received from origin WAL sender, last_msg_receipt_time timestamp with time zone, Receipt time of last message received from origin WAL sender, Last write-ahead log location reported to origin WAL sender, Time of last write-ahead log location reported to origin WAL sender, Replication slot name used by this WAL receiver, Host of the PostgreSQL instance this WAL receiver is connected to. There have been several occasions when a query is being executed dozens of times simultaneously by one or many users. David Christensen on Twitter. Waiting for WAL from a stream at recovery. (To prevent ordinary users from hiding their activity from the administrator, only superusers are allowed to change these parameters with SET.). Waiting for a read during a file copy operation. Alternatively, you can invoke pg_stat_clear_snapshot(), which will discard the current transaction's statistics snapshot (if any). Waiting to read or update the last value set for the transaction timestamp. This block has to be read from outside the shared buffer pool, defined by the We recommend different actions depending on the causes of your wait event: Observe Amazon CloudWatch metrics for correlation between sharp decreases in the These files are stored in the directory named by the stats_temp_directory parameter, pg_stat_tmp by default. But processes can also await other events: Waits for input/output ( IO) occur when a process needs to read or write data. For example, to show the PIDs and current queries of all backends: Table28.35. Listen The most possible reason for why you see LWLockTranche/buffer_mapping wait event in PostgreSQL Well, if you are here you probably came across an issue where your database had CPU spikes. The pg_stat_all_tables view will contain one row for each table in the current database (including TOAST tables), showing statistics about accesses to that specific table. Monitoring systems should choose whether to represent this as missing data, zero or continue to display the last known value. This can be used to gauge the delay that synchronous_commit level on incurred while committing if this server was configured as a synchronous standby. Waiting in main loop of autovacuum launcher process. Waiting to fill a dynamic shared memory backing file with zeroes. In all other states, it shows the last query that was executed. See, Only one row, showing statistics about the WAL receiver from that receiver's connected server. Waiting to read or update vacuum-related information for a B-tree index. quorum: This standby server is considered as a candidate for quorum standbys. Waiting for SLRU data to reach durable storage following a page write. Wait Events of Type Extension. Occasionally i noticed that in random interval of times the dbms become slow and get stuck on a few SELECT queries. Waiting for WAL files required for a backup to be successfully archived. Waiting for an elected Parallel Hash participant to allocate the initial hash table. Waiting for I/O on a sub-transaction SLRU buffer. Waiting for the relation map file to reach durable storage. Waiting to read or write relation cache initialization file. Its purpose is for the same page to be read into the shared buffer. See. Waiting for confirmation from remote server during synchronous replication. wait_event will identify the specific wait point. See, One row for each sequence in the current database, showing statistics about I/O on that specific sequence. There is no order to the granting of LWLocks and in a high concurrency system this can cause contention. Time spent reading data file blocks by backends in this database, in milliseconds (if track_io_timing is enabled, otherwise zero), Time spent writing data file blocks by backends in this database, in milliseconds (if track_io_timing is enabled, otherwise zero), Time spent by database sessions in this database, in milliseconds (note that statistics are only updated when the state of a session changes, so if sessions have been idle for a long time, this idle time won't be included), Time spent executing SQL statements in this database, in milliseconds (this corresponds to the states active and fastpath function call in pg_stat_activity), idle_in_transaction_time double precision, Time spent idling while in a transaction in this database, in milliseconds (this corresponds to the states idle in transaction and idle in transaction (aborted) in pg_stat_activity), Total number of sessions established to this database, Number of database sessions to this database that were terminated because connection to the client was lost, Number of database sessions to this database that were terminated by fatal errors, Number of database sessions to this database that were terminated by operator intervention. Waiting to read or update shared multixact state. This is consistent with the goal of measuring synchronous commit and transaction visibility delays for recent write transactions. I'd like to know more about what these locks could imply if anything. Waiting for action on logical replication worker to finish. When analyzing statistics interactively, or with expensive queries, the time delta between accesses to individual statistics can lead to significant skew in the cached statistics. Tune max_wal_size and checkpoint_timeout based on Waiting for a read of a two phase state file. This view will only contain information on standby servers, since conflicts do not occur on master servers. Waiting to update the relation map file used to store catalog to filenode mapping. Indexes can be used by simple index scans, bitmap index scans, and the optimizer. This includes the sync time when wal_sync_method is either open_datasync or open_sync. Waiting to acquire an advisory user lock. The pg_stat_recovery_prefetch view will contain only one row. Waiting for a write of a two phase state file. Waiting for a read during reorder buffer management. Use partitioned tables (which also have partitioned indexes). It can be joined to pg_stat_activity or pg_stat_replication on the pid column to get more details about the connection. In all other states, it shows the identifier of last query that was executed. Streaming only works with top-level transactions (subtransactions can't be streamed independently), so the counter is not incremented for subtransactions. Waiting for a write during reorder buffer management. A transaction can also see its own statistics (not yet flushed out to the shared memory statistics) in the views pg_stat_xact_all_tables, pg_stat_xact_sys_tables, pg_stat_xact_user_tables, and pg_stat_xact_user_functions. Waiting for a write during a file copy operation. Waiting to manage space allocation in shared memory. Amount of transaction data decoded for streaming in-progress transactions to the decoding output plugin while decoding changes from WAL for this slot. Time when this process' current transaction was started, or null if no transaction is active. Topics Relevant engine versions Context Causes Actions Relevant engine versions Total amount of time spent syncing WAL files to disk via issue_xlog_fsync request, in milliseconds (if track_wal_io_timing is enabled, fsync is on, and wal_sync_method is either fdatasync, fsync or fsync_writethrough, otherwise zero). Normally, WAL files are archived in order, oldest to newest, but that is not guaranteed, and does not hold under special circumstances like when promoting a standby or after crash recovery. Waiting for other Parallel Hash participants to finish partitioning the outer relation. See, One row only, showing statistics about the background writer process's activity. might need to increase it or scale up your DB instance class. sync: This standby server is synchronous. Waiting for WAL to be flushed in WAL sender process. See, One row per SLRU, showing statistics of operations. From pg_stat_activity i noticed that the wait_event_type and wait_event of these queries is as follows: The pg_statio_all_indexes view will contain one row for each index in the current database, showing statistics about I/O on that specific index. For details such as the functions' names, consult the definitions of the standard views. Waiting to read or truncate multixact information. The total number of rows in each table, and information about vacuum and analyze actions for each table are also counted. The functions for per-function statistics take a function OID. finish their input/output (I/O) operations when concurrently trying to access a page. The pg_stat_database view will contain one row for each database in the cluster, plus one for shared objects, showing database-wide statistics. To minimize skew, stats_fetch_consistency can be set to snapshot, at the price of increased memory usage for caching not-needed statistics data. The parameter track_activities enables monitoring of the current command being executed by any server process. (For example, in psql you could issue \d+ pg_stat_activity.) pg_stat_reset_subscription_stats ( oid ) void. See, One row per connection (regular and replication), showing information about GSSAPI authentication and encryption used on this connection. When a buffer is read from disk (or written to disk), an IO in progress lock is also acquired, which indicates to other processes that the page is being read (or written) they can queue up if they need to do something with this page. The pg_stat_user_functions view will contain one row for each tracked function, showing statistics about executions of that function. Waiting to read or update information about. Waiting for logical rewrite mappings to reach durable storage. The server process is waiting for activity on a socket connected to a user application.

Waiting for a read from a relation data file. Waiting in main loop of archiver process. number of buffers needed by the current workload, The size of the shared buffer pool not being well balanced with the number of pages being evicted by other There are also several other views, listed in Table28.2, available to show the accumulated statistics. PostgreSQL utilizes lightweight locks (LWLocks) to synchronize and control access to the buffer content. The optimizer also accesses indexes to check for supplied constants whose values are outside the recorded range of the optimizer statistics because the optimizer statistics might be stale. pg_stat_get_backend_userid ( integer ) oid. Waiting to update limits on transaction id and multixact consumption. Heavyweight locks, also known as lock manager locks or simply locks, primarily protect SQL-visible objects such as tables. Waiting for a new WAL segment created by copying an existing one to reach durable storage. Then identify which query See, One row per database, showing database-wide statistics. The track_functions parameter controls exactly which functions are tracked. The pg_stat_gssapi view will contain one row per backend, showing information about GSSAPI usage on this connection. See. Waiting for a newly initialized WAL file to reach durable storage. The pg_stat_replication view will contain one row per WAL sender process, showing statistics about replication to that sender's connected standby server. A snapshot is taken the first time cumulative statistics are accessed in a transaction if stats_fetch_consistency is set to snapshot. Waiting for a write of a timeline history file received via streaming replication. OID of this database, or 0 for objects belonging to a shared relation. Returns the time when this process was started. Waiting for parallel bitmap scan to become initialized. Waiting for a barrier event to be processed by all backends. It is quite possible that user has registered the tranche in one of the backends (by having allocation in dynamic shared memory) in which case other backends won't have that information, so we display extension for such cases. idle in transaction (aborted): This state is similar to idle in transaction, except one of the statements in the transaction caused an error. potential: This standby server is now asynchronous, but can potentially become synchronous if one of current synchronous ones fails. Waiting for SLRU data to reach durable storage during a checkpoint or database shutdown. The LWLock that this article will introduce is a lightweight lock (Lightweight Lock) based on SpinLock. Waiting for mapping data to reach durable storage during a logical rewrite. Waiting in main loop of background writer process background worker. In particular, when the standby has caught up completely, pg_stat_replication shows the time taken to write, flush and replay the most recent reported WAL location rather than zero as some users might expect. Resets statistics for a single table or index in the current database or shared across all databases in the cluster to zero. Waiting in main loop of logical replication launcher process. The pg_statio_user_tables and pg_statio_sys_tables views contain the same information, but filtered to only show user and system tables respectively. shared_buffers parameter. Waiting in main loop of WAL writer process. > However, someone with deeper knowledge of page pinning and buffer manager > internals could certainly devise a better solution. The per-table and per-index functions take a table or index OID. All temporary files are counted, regardless of why the temporary file was created (e.g., sorting or hashing), and regardless of the, Total amount of data written to temporary files by queries in this database. Waiting for a read during recheck of the data directory lock file. Similarly, information about the current queries of all sessions is collected when any such information is first requested within a transaction, and the same information will be displayed throughout the transaction. Waiting to read or update sub-transaction information. The pg_stat_wal_receiver view will contain only one row, showing statistics about the WAL receiver from that receiver's connected server. See, One row per database, showing database-wide statistics. Waiting for an elected Parallel Hash participant to allocate more batches. Waiting to read or update dynamic shared memory state. LWLock: The backend is waiting for a lightweight lock. Each individual server process transmits new statistical counts to the collector just before going idle; so a query or transaction still in progress does not affect the displayed totals. For more information, see LWLock:buffer_content (BufferContent). potential: This standby server is now asynchronous, but can potentially become synchronous if one of current synchronous ones fails. TCP port number that the client is using for communication with this WAL sender, or -1 if a Unix socket is used, Time when this process was started, i.e., when the client connected to this WAL sender. The parameter track_io_timing enables monitoring of block read and write times. Each such lock protects a particular data structure in shared memory. In particular, when the standby has caught up completely, pg_stat_replication shows the time taken to write, flush and replay the most recent reported WAL location rather than zero as some users might expect. Normally these parameters are set in postgresql.conf so that they apply to all server processes, but it is possible to turn them on or off in individual sessions using the SET command. Waiting for the termination of another backend. Distinguished Name (DN) field from the client certificate used, or NULL if no client certificate was supplied or if SSL is not in use on this connection. Waiting for WAL to be flushed in WAL sender process. This is controlled by configuration parameters that are normally set in postgresql.conf. See, One row for each tracked function, showing statistics about executions of that function. This and other streaming counters for this slot can be used to tune logical_decoding_work_mem. Waiting for a relation data file to be truncated. Waiting for a write of logical rewrite mappings. Waiting for an asynchronous prefetch from a relation data file. See, OID of the database this backend is connected to, Name of the database this backend is connected to, Name of the user logged into this backend, Name of the application that is connected to this backend. Avoid PostgreSQL LWLock:buffer_content locks in Amazon Aurora: Tips and best practices. Time at which the last data page checksum failure was detected in this database (or on a shared object), or NULL if data checksums are not enabled. Users interested in obtaining more detailed information on PostgreSQL I/O behavior are advised to use the PostgreSQL statistics views in combination with operating system utilities that allow insight into the kernel's handling of I/O. Connection string used by this WAL receiver, with security-sensitive fields obfuscated. operations, Large or bloated indexes that require the engine to read more pages than necessary into the shared buffer pool, Lack of indexes that forces the DB engine to read more pages from the tables than necessary, Checkpoints occurring too frequently or needing to flush too many modified pages, Sudden spikes for database connections trying to perform operations on the same page. Possible values are: Activity status of the WAL receiver process, First write-ahead log location used when WAL receiver is started, First timeline number used when WAL receiver is started, Last write-ahead log location already received and flushed to disk, the initial value of this field being the first log location used when WAL receiver is started, Timeline number of last write-ahead log location received and flushed to disk, the initial value of this field being the timeline number of the first log location used when WAL receiver is started, Send time of last message received from origin WAL sender, Receipt time of last message received from origin WAL sender, Last write-ahead log location reported to origin WAL sender, Time of last write-ahead log location reported to origin WAL sender, Replication slot name used by this WAL receiver. Possible values are: active: The backend is executing a query. This counts top-level transactions only, and is not incremented for subtransactions. Waiting for other process to be attached in shared message queue. Javascript is disabled or is unavailable in your browser. Waiting to access predicate lock information used by serializable transactions. The server process is waiting for some condition defined by an extension module.
