RE: How to check if session is a hung thread/session

Hi,

 

The log you expose doesn’t mean a dead lock! It comes from setting deadlock_timeout parameter. Its value is 1 second by default. When a session waits for a lock more than this threshold then a test to see if we are in a deadlock condition is triggered. It is simply that we are waiting to obtain a lock for longer that the value of deadlock_timeout. Any way it could be interpreted as a performance problem when we are frequently waiting more than 1 sec for a lock…

Thanks Tom,

 

OK, I've decided to 'painfully' look at the PostgreSQL RDS logs and it is showing something like below.

There seems to be a locking/deadlock issue of some sort somewhere.

I have checked the other days' log prior to the patching and these appear to be a 'normal' occurrence for this database and it wasn't affecting the application nonetheless.

After the patching, it starts affecting the application. Not sure what else I can check on the Aurora PostgreSQL RDS end. I may request them to restart the app server.

Your pg_stat_activity output shows the backend is idle, meaning it's
waiting for a client command.  While the session has been around for
days, we can see the last client command was about 47 minutes ago,
from your "now() - pg_stat_activity.query_start AS duration" column.
I see no reason to think there is anything interesting here at all,
except for a client that is sitting doing nothing for long periods.
