pg_stat_usage is a custom statistics collector for PostgreSQL. It intercepts the stats that PostgreSQL backends send to the statistics collector by hooking into pgstat_report_stats calls.

Presently stored procedure and relation (tables, indexes, etc.) stats are collected. When possible the context of a stored procedure call is also stored. This can be used to generate a call graph of stored procedures and also get some insight as to what goes on inside the stored procs (table, index access etc.)

Requires PostgreSQL stats collector hooks patch - included in the patches directory.

• Use CPU time instead of wall clock time
• Figure out a way to reliably associate table stats with function context
• Track role names and IP addresses
• Add a collector process that aggregates the stats from different backends

Set up PostgreSQL module development environment and run make install. pg_config needs to in the PATH.

In an interactive session

LOAD 'pg_stat_usage';

-- run a function
select * from ff3();

-- get the stats
select * from pg_stat_usage();

To enable pg_stat_usage for the entire cluster, modify postgresql.conf to include:

local_preload_libraries = 'pg_stat_usage'
