Run a query against the “pg_stat_activity” system view (you will need to be a super-user to view system queries, normal users can only view their own).
To get you started this is the query that I use to spot-check system query activity:
SELECT procpid, current_query, client_addr, xact_start, query_start
FROM pg_stat_activity
ORDER BY xact_start ASC;
