[ADMIN] how much work_mem is my server using

Hi,

Is there a way to find out how much work_mem my server(*) is actually
using on a running system in production?
* - session or cluster. I don't mean explain analyze.

What i am really interested in is: how does postgres utilize the
memory in the server? How much goes where, in reality.
I want to sound an alarm when the server starts swapping (can do) and
be able find out if work_mem is too high.
I also want to see if work_mem gets in the way of shared_buffers or
the OS file cache. On munin for example.

So, is there a way to find out the amount of work_mem that has been allocated?

Cheers,

WBL
