We currently evaluate PgFouine to analyse all executed statements in a Postgres 8.4 cluster. But we don't use syslog - instead we use logging via STDERR. Analyzing of the logs works fine with that combination. We also tested big logfiles (~ 3GB) with pgFouine - also works fine, but took about 2h30min for parsing... To do so, we use the following settings in postgresql.conf: log_destination = 'stderr' logging_collector = on log_min_duration_statement = 0 # log EVERY statement in every DB of the cluster log_line_prefix = '%t [%p]: [%l-1] user=%u,db=%d ' # for pgFouine Statistics. after reloading the config (with `pg_ctl reload`) every sql-statement in every database of the cluster should be logged. To analyze the log with pgFouine do something like: [bernd@vmlxdb]$ ./pgfouine.php -file PG84-2009-11-09.log -logtype stderr -report history If you also need the query-plans in the logfile, then you maybe want to take a look at the contrib-package 'autoexplain'. This package can write the query-plan of a sql-statement into the log. But you should be warned: pgFouine will be a little bit confused with the plans in the logfile (detect the sql-statement and the associated plan as two separate statements)... bernd. ________________________________ Von: pgsql-general-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:pgsql-general-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Im Auftrag von Chris Barnes *EXTERN* Gesendet: Freitag, 20. November 2009 18:59 An: Postgres General Postgres General Betreff: Is there a tool used to display statement times from postgres logs Would someone have a tool that displays statement execution times/stats from the standard output from postgres logs? I have attempted pgfouine but not had sucess with the log format. Does anyone use pgfouine or have something that works for them?
