Had a simple function calling another function, and the final function was doing raise log. When I enabled normal stderr logging, with absurdly full log_line_prefix, I got this: #v+ a[psql] u[depesz] d[depesz] r[[local]] h[[local]] p[15444] t[2012-09-13 21:49:37 CEST] m[2012-09-13 21:49:37.840 CEST] i[SELECT] e[00000] c[505238d0.3c54] l[3] s[2012-09-13 21:49:36 CEST] v[2/2] x[0] LOG: [logged line] a[psql] u[depesz] d[depesz] r[[local]] h[[local]] p[15444] t[2012-09-13 21:49:37 CEST] m[2012-09-13 21:49:37.840 CEST] i[SELECT] e[00000] c[505238d0.3c54] l[4] s[2012-09-13 21:49:36 CEST] v[2/2] x[0] CONTEXT: SQL statement "SELECT b()" PL/pgSQL function a() line 1 at PERFORM a[psql] u[depesz] d[depesz] r[[local]] h[[local]] p[15444] t[2012-09-13 21:49:37 CEST] m[2012-09-13 21:49:37.840 CEST] i[SELECT] e[00000] c[505238d0.3c54] l[5] s[2012-09-13 21:49:36 CEST] v[2/2] x[0] STATEMENT: select a(); a[psql] u[depesz] d[depesz] r[[local]] h[[local]] p[15444] t[2012-09-13 21:49:37 CEST] m[2012-09-13 21:49:37.841 CEST] i[SELECT] e[00000] c[505238d0.3c54] l[6] s[2012-09-13 21:49:36 CEST] v[2/0] x[0] LOG: duration: 1.662 ms statement: select a(); #v- same function call, with syslog: #v+ Sep 13 21:53:31 h3po4 postgres[16156]: [4-1] a[psql] u[depesz] d[depesz] r[[local]] h[[local]] p[16156] t[2012-09-13 21:53:31 CEST] m[2012-09-13 21:53:31.852 CEST] i[SELECT] e[00000] c[505239bb.3f1c] l[3] s[2012-09-13 21:53:31 CEST] v[2/4] x[0] LOG: [logged line] Sep 13 21:53:31 h3po4 postgres[16156]: [4-2] a[psql] u[depesz] d[depesz] r[[local]] h[[local]] p[16156] t[2012-09-13 21:53:31 CEST] m[2012-09-13 21:53:31.852 CEST] i[SELECT] e[00000] c[505239bb.3f1c] l[4] s[2012-09-13 21:53:31 CEST] v[2/4] x[0] CONTEXT: SQL statement "SELECT b()" Sep 13 21:53:31 h3po4 postgres[16156]: [4-3] #011PL/pgSQL function a() line 1 at PERFORM Sep 13 21:53:31 h3po4 postgres[16156]: [4-4] a[psql] u[depesz] d[depesz] r[[local]] h[[local]] p[16156] t[2012-09-13 21:53:31 CEST] m[2012-09-13 21:53:31.852 CEST] i[SELECT] e[00000] c[505239bb.3f1c] l[5] s[2012-09-13 21:53:31 CEST] v[2/4] x[0] STATEMENT: select a(); Sep 13 21:53:31 h3po4 postgres[16156]: [5-1] a[psql] u[depesz] d[depesz] r[[local]] h[[local]] p[16156] t[2012-09-13 21:53:31 CEST] m[2012-09-13 21:53:31.852 CEST] i[SELECT] e[00000] c[505239bb.3f1c] l[6] s[2012-09-13 21:53:31 CEST] v[2/0] x[0] LOG: duration: 1.599 ms statement: select a(); #v- Please note that the 3rd line in both examples has leading tab - either literal tab in case of stderr log, or #011 in case of syslog. But with csvlog, I got something different: #v+ 2012-09-13 21:51:12.642 CEST,"depesz","depesz",15673,"[local]",5052392f.3d39,3,"SELECT",2012-09-13 21:51:11 CEST,2/2,0,LOG,00000,"[logged line]",,,,,"SQL statement ""SELECT b()"" PL/pgSQL function a() line 1 at PERFORM","select a();",,,"psql" 2012-09-13 21:51:12.642 CEST,"depesz","depesz",15673,"[local]",5052392f.3d39,4,"SELECT",2012-09-13 21:51:11 CEST,2/0,0,LOG,00000,"duration: 1.561 ms statement: select a();",,,,,,,,,"psql" #v- There is no leading tab on the 2nd line. Why? Is it intentional, or just an omission?
