I have addressed almost all of the issues mentioned above in v9. The only remaining TODOs are described in the commit message. most critical one is that the reset message doesn't work.

From f924873f296fa4691a41f38b4b3509d08ee3b62d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Melanie Plageman <melanieplage...@gmail.com> Date: Thu, 2 Sep 2021 11:33:59 -0400 Subject: [PATCH v9 2/3] Add system view tracking accesses to buffers Add pg_stat_buffers, a system view which tracks the number of buffers of a particular type (e.g. shared, local) allocated, written, fsync'd, and extended by each backend type. Some of these should always be zero. For example, a checkpointer backend will not use a BufferAccessStrategy (currently), so buffer type "strategy" for checkpointer will be 0 for all buffer access types (alloc, write, fsync, and extend). All backends increment a counter in their PgBackendStatus when performing a buffer access. On exit, backends send these stats to the stats collector to be persisted. When stats are reset, the reset message includes the current values of all the live backends' buffer access counters. When receiving this message, the stats collector will 1) save these reset values in an array of "resets" and 2) zero out the exited backends' saved buffer access counters. This is required for accurate stats after a reset without writing to other backends' PgBackendStatus. When the pg_stat_buffers view is queried, sum live backends' stats with saved stats from exited backends and subtract saved reset stats, returning the total. Each row of the view is for a particular backend type and a particular buffer type (e.g. shared buffer accesses by checkpointer) and each column in the view is the total number of buffers of each kind of buffer access (e.g. written). So a cell in the view would be, for example, the number of shared buffers written by checkpointer since the last stats reset. Note that this commit does not add code to increment buffer accesses for all types of buffers. It includes all possible combinations in the stats view but doesn't populate all of them. TODO: - pgstat reset message too large -- needs to be fixed - Wrappers for smgr funcs to protect against regressions and cover other buffer types - Consider helper func in pgstatfuncs.c to refactor out some of the redundant tuplestore creation code from pg_stat_get_progress_info, pg_stat_get_activity, etc - Remove pg_stats test I added - current code TODOs are mostly about adding comments - When finished, catalog bump - pgindent --- doc/src/sgml/monitoring.sgml | 116 ++++++++++++++++- src/backend/catalog/system_views.sql | 11 ++ src/backend/postmaster/checkpointer.c | 1 + src/backend/postmaster/pgstat.c | 115 ++++++++++++++++- src/backend/storage/buffer/bufmgr.c | 25 +++- src/backend/storage/buffer/freelist.c | 22 +++- src/backend/utils/activity/backend_status.c | 49 ++++++- src/backend/utils/adt/pgstatfuncs.c | 136 ++++++++++++++++++++ src/backend/utils/init/miscinit.c | 25 ++++ src/include/catalog/pg_proc.dat | 9 ++ src/include/miscadmin.h | 23 ++++ src/include/pgstat.h | 35 ++++- src/include/storage/buf_internals.h | 4 +- src/include/utils/backend_status.h | 44 +++++++ src/test/regress/expected/rules.out | 8 ++ src/test/regress/sql/stats.sql | 4 + 16 files changed, 610 insertions(+), 17 deletions(-) diff --git a/doc/src/sgml/monitoring.sgml b/doc/src/sgml/monitoring.sgml index 2281ba120f..60627c692a 100644 --- a/doc/src/sgml/monitoring.sgml +++ b/doc/src/sgml/monitoring.sgml @@ -444,6 +444,15 @@ postgres 27093 0.0 0.0 30096 2752 ?
