Abstract
PostgreSQL Query Performance Monitoring Tool
Description
The pg_stat_monitor is a PostgreSQL Query Performance Monitoring tool, based on PostgreSQL's contrib module pg_stat_statements. PostgreSQL’s pg_stat_statements provides the basic statistics, which is sometimes not enough. The major shortcoming in pg_stat_statements is that it accumulates all the queries and their statistics and does not provide aggregated statistics nor histogram information. In this case, a user needs to calculate the aggregate which is quite expensive.

What is pg_stat_monitor?

The pg_stat_monitor is a PostgreSQL Query Performance Monitoring tool, based on PostgreSQL's contrib module pg_stat_statements. PostgreSQL’s pg_stat_statements provides the basic statistics, which is sometimes not enough. The major shortcoming in pg_stat_statements is that it accumulates all the queries and their statistics and does not provide aggregated statistics nor histogram information. In this case, a user needs to calculate the aggregate which is quite expensive.

pg_stat_monitor is developed on the basis of pg_stat_statements as its more advanced replacement. It provides all the features of pg_stat_statements plus its own feature set.

How pg_stat_monitor works?

pg_stat_monitor accumulates the information in the form of buckets. All the aggregated information is bucket based. The size of a bucket and the number of buckets should be configured using GUC (Grand Unified Configuration). When a bucket time elapses, pg_stat_monitor resets all the statistics and switches to the next bucket. After the last bucket elapses, pg_stat_monitor goes back to the first bucket. All the data on the first bucket will vanish; therefore, users must read the buckets before that to not lose the data.
