# pg_insights
Convenient SQL for monitoring Postgres database health. This repository is
inspired by commands from Heroku's
[pg_extras](https://github.com/heroku/heroku-pg-extras) repository.
## How to Use
### psql
You can run a script using `psql`'s `-f` option. For example:
```bash
$ psql postgres -f sql/cache_hit_rate.sql
```
It also works with aliases you have setup with `psql`:
```bash
$ alias psql_my_db="psql -h my_db.com -d my_db -U admin"
$ psql_my_db -f sql/cache_hit_rate.sql
```
### Other
You can also copy/paste any of the SQL in the [`sql/`](sql) directory and run
with the Postgres client of your choice.
## Scripts
#### [`active_autovacuums.sql`](sql/active_autovacuums.sql) (admin permission)
* **Returns all running autovacuums operations.**
#### [`analyze_stats.sql`](sql/analyze_stats.sql) (read permission)
* **Returns autovacuum analyze stats for each table.**
#### [`bloat.sql`](sql/bloat.sql) (read permission)
* **Returns the approximate bloat from dead tuples for each table.**
* This bloat can also be index bloat.
#### [`buffer_cache_usage.sql`](sql/buffer_cache_usage.sql) (admin permission)
* **Returns the distribution of shared buffers used for each table.**
* *Requires the [pg_buffercache](https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/pgbuffercache.html) extension.*
* Includes the total bytes of a table in shared buffers, the percentage of
shared buffers a table is using, and the percentage of a table the exists
in shared buffers.
#### [`cache_hit_rate.sql`](sql/cache_hit_rate.sql) (read permission)
* **Returns the cache hit rate for indices and tables.**
* This is the rate of queries that only hit in-memory shared buffers rather
than having to fetch from disk.
* Note that a queries that are cache misses in Postgres's shared buffers may
still hit the in-memory OS page cache, so a miss not technically go all the
way to the disk.
* Both of these rates should be 99+% ideally.
#### [`index_hit_rate.sql`](sql/index_hit_rate.sql) (read permission)
* **Returns the index hit rate for each table.**
* This rate represents the percentage of queries that utilize 1 or more indices
when querying a table.
* These rates should be 99+% ideally.
#### [`index_size.sql`](sql/index_size.sql) (read permission)
* **Returns the size of each index in bytes.**
#### [`reset_stats.sql`](sql/reset_stats.sql) (admin permission)
* **Resets pg_stats statistics tables.**
#### [`table_settings.sql`](sql/table_settings.sql) (read permission)
* **Returns the table-specific settings of each table.**
#### [`table_size.sql`](sql/table_size.sql) (read permission)
* **Returns the size of each table in bytes.**
* Does not include size of the tables' indices.
#### [`table_size_with_indices.sql`](sql/table_size_with_indices.sql) (read permission)
* **Returns size of each table in bytes including all indices.**
#### [`toast_size.sql`](sql/toast_size.sql) (read permission)
* **Returns total size of all
[TOAST](https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/storage-toast.html) data in
each table in bytes.**
#### [`unused_indices.sql`](sql/unused_indices.sql) (read permission)
* **Returns indices that are rarely used.**
* Note that sometimes the query optimizer will elect to avoid using indices for
tables with a very small number of rows because it can be more efficient.
#### [`vacuum_stats.sql`](sql/vacuum_stats.sql) (read permission)
* **Returns autovacuum stats for each table.**
