pgBadger for Deepgreen DB

pgBadger is a PostgreSQL log analyzer built for speed with fully reports. For details, please refer to this page.

Note that pgBadger is only relevant on the master node.

Quick Start

These packages are required by pgBadger, and should be installed on the master segment:

# ON REDHAT:
   % sudo yum install gcc make perl-CPAN
   % sudo cpan Text::CSV_XS

# ON UBUNTU:
   % sudo apt-get install gcc make
   % sudo cpan Text::CSV_XS

Next, we need to make the database log SQL statements. This can be achieved by setting the following configurations in the postgresql.conf file on the master segment.

   log_min_duration_statement = 0
   log_duration = on

After modifying the postgresql.conf file, restart the database by issuing the command:

   % gpstop -r

Now, connect to the database and run some queries. Locate a new log file in in the $MASTER_DATA_DIRECTORY/pg_log directory, and issue the pgbadger command against it to generate a out.html file. For example:

   % pgbadger -f csv $MASTER_DATA_DIRECTORY/pg_log/gpdb-2018-08-08_11111.csv

You can now view the out.html file by pointing your browser to the file. Note: you may need to copy the file to your local machine if your browser cannot point to the file on the master segment.

Daily Reports

You can generate daily pgBadger report by scheduling cron jobs. The following command generates and stores daily reports in the /var/reports/ directory.

    59 23 * * * TODAY=`date +%F` && ${GPHOME}/bin/pgbadger -f csv -o /var/reports/gpdb-report-${TODAY}.html $MASTER_DATA_DIRECTORY/pg_log/gpdb-${TODAY}_*.csv

If your web server is on a remote machine, you can use passwordless SCP to copy the report to the web server.

    59 23 * * * TODAY=`date +%F` && $GPHOME/bin/pgbadger -f csv -o /var/reports/gpdb-report-${TODAY}.html $MASTER_DATA_DIRECTORY/pg_log/gpdb-${TODAY}_*.csv && scp /var/reports/gpdb-report-${TODAY}.html webadmin@webserver:/www/html/
