Hi, Frequently when reading postgres logs to do some post mortem analysis I'm left wondering what process emitted an error/log message. After the fact it's often hard to know wether an error message was emitted by a user backend or by something internal, say the checkpointer or autovacuum. Logging all process starts is often impractical given the log volume that causes.
So I'm proposing adding an escape displaying the process title (say 'k' for kind?). So %k would emit something like "autovacuum worker process", "wal sender process" etc. I'm thinking it might make sense to give normal connections "" as the name, they're usually already discernible.
