Thread: Autvacuum and Analyze stats?
Hi All
I have a couple of databases on which the autovacuum is configured.
Is there a way to confirm when last the autovacuum ran (and if so was there any errors).
*** The auto vacuum is configured to run every 60 seconds, however the check_postgres package states that the last vacuum was 12 days ago and I need to see if I can confirm this manually.
I am also trying to find out if there is a way of seeing when last a table / database had been analyzed if ever.
I hope someone can assist (or understand what I am looking for though J )
Regards
Machiel

Check pg_stat_user_tables (or pg_stat_{all,sys,user}_tables. They
include autovacuum info.

If you are running 8.3+, you may enable autovacum logging by setting
log_autovacuum_min_duration to 0, and check for any issues.

autovacuum updates last_autovacuum (and last_autoanalyze) columns. The
columns you mention are last_vacuum (and last_analyze), and they are
updated when manual vacuum is run. So you are using last_vacuum
parameter. You may also want to use last_autovacuum parameter of
check_postgres.

See above (pg_stat_user_tables)
-HTH.
