pg_jobmon

=========



pg_jobmon is a PostgreSQL extension designed to add autonomous logging capabilities to transactions and functions. The logging is done in a NON-TRANSACTIONAL method, so that if your function/transaction fails for any reason, any information written to that point will be kept in the log tables rather than rolled back.



For more information on how to use pg_jobmon, please see [pg_jobmon/doc/pg_jobmon.md](doc/pg_jobmon.md)



INSTALLATION

------------



Requirements: PostgreSQL 9.2+, [dblink extension](https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/dblink.html)



In the directory where you downloaded pg_jobmon run



    make

    make install



Log into PostgreSQL and run the following commands: 

(Note: You can change the schema name to be whatever you wish, but it cannot be changed after installation.)



    CREATE SCHEMA jobmon;

    CREATE EXTENSION pg_jobmon SCHEMA jobmon;



This extension uses dblink to connect back to the same database that pg_jobmon is running in (this is how the non-transactional magic is done). To allow non-superusers to use dblink, you'll need to enter role credentials into the dblink_mapping_jobmon table that pg_jobmon installs.

    

    INSERT INTO jobmon.dblink_mapping_jobmon (username, pwd) VALUES ('rolename', 'rolepassword');



Ensure you add the relevant line to the pg_hba.conf file for this role. It will be connecting back to the same postgres database locally.

    

    # TYPE  DATABASE       USER            ADDRESS                 METHOD

    local   dbname         rolename                                md5



The following permissions should be given to the above role (substitute relevant schema names as appropriate):

    

    grant usage on schema jobmon to rolename;

    grant usage on schema dblink to rolename;

    grant select, insert, update, delete on all tables in schema jobmon to rolename;

    grant execute on all functions in schema jobmon to rolename;

    grant all on all sequences in schema jobmon to rolename;



If you're running PostgreSQL on a port other than the default (5432), you can also use the dblink_mapping_jobmon table to change the port that dblink will use.



    INSERT INTO jobmon.dblink_mapping_jobmon (port) VALUES ('5999');



Be aware that the dblink_mapping_jobmon table can only have a single row, so if you're using a custom host, role or different port, you will need to enter those values within a single row. None of the columns are required, so just use the ones you need for your setup.



    INSERT INTO jobmon.dblink_mapping_jobmon (host, hostaddr, username, pwd, port) VALUES ('host', 'hostaddr', 'rolename', 'rolepassword', '5999');



UPGRADE

-------



Make sure all the upgrade scripts for the version you have installed up to the most recent version are in the $BASEDIR/share/extension folder. 



    ALTER EXTENSION pg_jobmon UPDATE TO '';



For detailed change logs of each version, please see the top of each update script.
