Hi Justin
Thanks for your update.
Postgres is just an OS Process, so should be monitored like any other.
What OS are you using ?

Know that the OS may attribute "shared buffers" to different processes, or multiple processes.
It's almost always a bad idea to kill postgres with kill -9.

What settings have you used in postgres ?

You can check memory use of an individual query with "explain (analyze,buffers) .."
Thanks for your update. This memory allocation failed issue impact the whole database running. not a slow query.
Is there any commands or method could get totally Postgres memory utilization ? Thanks .

Do you mean an interactive checkpoint command ?
Or logs from log_checkpoint ?
