Thanks a lot, Chris!

Yes, the manual said that "It is typically set by an application upon connection to the server." exactly your approach.

But the examples you gave me is to print the application_name in the query results, aren't they? Do you know how to make it as the prefix of the local log messages?

I'm not familiar with this usage of setting application_name in
postgresql.conf - usually I set it as part of the database connection.
For example:

//In Pike:
object db=Sql.Sql("pgsql://USER:PASSWORD@HOST/DATABASE",(["search_path":"SCHEMA,public","application_name":"APPLICATION"]));

//In PHP:
$db=pg_connect('dbname=DATABASE host=HOST user=USER password=PASSWORD');
pg_query($db,"set application_name='APPLICATION'");
pg_query($db,"set search_path to SCHEMA,public");
