I am fine with a postmaster-start-time configuration option. It is not as flexible as I would like, but would serve the
immediateneed and keep me from having to
patch every release of Postgres we install on boxes.
The load on our production servers really prohibits any kind of processing of the log files locally. We have tried
usingseveral log shipping methods to process the
logs on a machine with fewer running processes. These large queries are generated by a third party tool that we have
verylimited control over. Some of the queries
captured are as large 16K. The queries are poorly written/generated.
