Hi, I've been trying to see whether or not autovacuum is vacuuming all
of my tables, and how often (for my peace of mind). I can see that it is
running, but I don't know what it's doing. There are a handful of key
tables in our database which suffer quite a bit if their not vacuumed
regularly (at least once a day). I see that there's been quite a bit of
discussion recently about this, and in a previous discussion about this,
Bruce Momjian raised the question of what people want to see. I would
like to see which tables were autovacuumed, when they were vacuumed, and
maybe some of the summary information which is displayed in the last few
lines of the current vacuum analyze verbose. This is information I could
get currently by running vacuum analyze verbose (summary info from last
few lines) and through my cron settings (db, tables, and when vacuum is
run).
Until this is resolved, I guess that I'll turn up my logging and start
to browse log files.
My two cents :)
