Hi Kaido,
the NULL values in application_name stemm from LEFT JOINs
in the definition of view pg_stat_activity, where the right side
(of the join) joined table has no value.
A:
select * from pg_stat_activity;
shows columns wait_event and backend_type
values at records where application_name is NULL.
Details:
-- definition of pg_stat_activity:
db =# \d+ pg_stat_activity
View "pg_catalog.pg_stat_activity"
...
View definition:
SELECT s.datid,
d.datname,
....
FROM pg_stat_get_activity(NULL::integer) s(datid, pid, ..... , leader_pid, query_id)
LEFT JOIN pg_database d ON s.datid = d.oid
LEFT JOIN pg_authid u ON s.usesysid = u.oid;
pg_stat_get_activity(...) as s is one of the joined tables:
db =# select datid, pid, usesysid, application_name, wait_event, backend_type from pg_stat_get_activity(null);
datid | pid | usesysid | application_name | wait_event | backend_type

In this table (yielded by function pg_stat_get_activity())
datid is null for background worker processes, as you can also see them in a
unix PS(1) process status listing.
