Both PostgreSQL and its client are deployed in VM against. It took us days to debug where cause the timeout. We enable PostgreSQL server debug log via below configuration. We can see from this that the server spent 10 seconds in CommitTransaction, so the question is what took so long. I'd wonder first about end-of-transaction triggers (have you got foreign keys on that table? maybe an event trigger?), and then second about delays in writing/fsyncing WAL (what's the underlying storage? do you have synchronous_commit replication turned on?). > This mail is to ask why PostgreSQL debug log doesn¡¯t really include the response message delay which may cause misleading why troubleshooting. It looks to me the debug log doesn¡¯t record the whole procedure. If there are some developer options include the missing part but we didn¡¯t enable? [ shrug... ] Sure, we could put an elog(DEBUG) after every line of code in the server, and then high-level debugging logs would be even more impossibly voluminous than they are now. I'd say the existing logging gave you plenty of clue where to look. regards, tom lane
