Re: number of updated or deleted tuples needed to trigger a VACUUM in any one table - Mailing list pgsql-admin

https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/runtime-config-autovacuum.html

autovacuum_vacuum_threshold (integer) 

Specifies the minimum number of updated or deleted tuples needed to trigger a VACUUM in any one table.

Are the number of updated and deleted tuples since the last vacuum exposed anywhere, like n_ins_since_vacuum is exposed?

By /usr/local/src/postgresql-17.0/src/backend/postmaster/autovacuum.c:3026 :

               reltuples = classForm->reltuples;
               vactuples = tabentry->dead_tuples;
               instuples = tabentry->ins_since_vacuum;
               anltuples = tabentry->mod_since_analyze;

So, this number should be the pg_stat_all_tables.n_dead_tup

I've Googled with no luck.
