Having timing information in the stats system would be useful, but I'm not sure how it could actually be done. But at least if the information is in the stats system it's easy to programatically collect and process. SNMP is just one example of that (fwiw I agree with Magnus that it probably doesn't make sense to turn pgsnmpd into a log parser...) -- Jim Nasby [EMAIL PROTECTED] EnterpriseDB http://enterprisedb.com 512.569.9461 (cell) ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 3: Have you checked our extensive FAQ? http://www.postgresql.org/docs/faq
