I'm having trouble following what's going on with autovacuum and I'm finding the existing logging insufficient. In particular that it's only logging vacuum runs *after* the vacuum finishes makes it hard to see what vacuums are running at any given time. Also, I want to see what is making autovacuum decide to forgo vacuuming a table and the log with that information is at DEBUG2.
So I would like to suggest adding two options: log_autovacuum_jobs - output every time a vacuum or analyze *starts* log_autovacuum_level - set the log level for the autovacuum process I would also suggest raising the level of the DEBUG2 message indicating why tables were chosen or not. At least to DEBUG1 if not to INFO. Am I missing anything? Are there ways to get this info already that I'm missing? I imagine it would be pretty simple to add these and I'll be happy to do it and send the patch to -patches assuming others (Alvaro? :) agree. -- Gregory Stark EnterpriseDB http://www.enterprisedb.com ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
