Hi guys,

I need some help discovering the processes that run on an instance. I
know that there are many processes running on one instance and they are
all called postges, but I was hoping you can help me find a way to
uniquely identify each one of them. I want to discover what the process
name is and what the does. Let me know if you have any suggestions.

On operating systems that support it, postgresql changes the process name to tell you what it's doing.

On other operating systems, use the pg_stat_activity view. See the manual.

If you still need more information, please read this so you provide enough detail to get a proper answer before following up:

... since you didn't even mention what operating system you were running on in your question!
