Thread: Pg_stat_activity
If I see a sudden connection spike (say once in 2 months). What are the steps I need to follow as a dba?
Check idle and kill? Check of stat activity for active queries? How do I ensure how much time is long running query? Blocking queries? How much of blocking time is considered to be dangerous? Locks - should we conclude anything from wait event and wait event type ?
All these won't help nd have to look into pgbadger?

This is an inappropriate question for the -hackers mailing list. Both -admin and -general are better places to get help on learning how to be a DBA.
This list is basically for discussing potential patches to the codebase.
