<sect1 id="auto-explain">
<title>auto_explain</title>
<indexterm zone="auto-explain">
<primary>auto_explain</primary>
</indexterm>
<para>
The <filename>auto_explain</filename> module provides a means for
logging execution plans of slow statements automatically, without
having to run <xref linkend="sql-explain" endterm="sql-explain-title">
by hand. This is especially helpful for tracking down un-optimized queries
in large applications.
</para>
<para>
The module provides no SQL-accessible functions. To use it, simply
load it into the server. You can load it into an individual session:
<programlisting>
LOAD 'auto_explain';
</programlisting>
(You must be superuser to do that.) More typical usage is to preload
it into all sessions by including <literal>auto_explain</> in
<xref linkend="guc-shared-preload-libraries"> in
<filename>postgresql.conf</>. Then you can track unexpectedly slow queries
no matter when they happen. Of course there is a price in overhead for
that.
</para>
<sect2>
<title>Configuration parameters</title>
<para>
There are several configuration parameters that control the behavior of
<filename>auto_explain</filename>. Note that the default behavior is
to do nothing, so you must set at least
<varname>explain.log_min_duration</varname> if you want any results.
</para>
<variablelist>
<varlistentry>
<term>
<varname>explain.log_min_duration</varname> (<type>integer</type>)
</term>
<indexterm>
<primary><varname>explain.log_min_duration</> configuration parameter</primary>
</indexterm>
<listitem>
<para>
<varname>explain.log_min_duration</varname> is the minimum statement
execution time, in milliseconds, that will cause the statement's plan to
be logged. Setting this to zero logs all plans. Minus-one (the default)
disables logging of plans. For example, if you set it to
<literal>250ms</literal> then all statements that run 250ms or longer
will be logged. Only superusers can change this setting.
</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term>
<varname>explain.log_analyze</varname> (<type>boolean</type>)
</term>
<indexterm>
<primary><varname>explain.log_analyze</> configuration parameter</primary>
</indexterm>
<listitem>
<para>
<varname>explain.log_analyze</varname> causes <command>EXPLAIN ANALYZE</>
output, rather than just <command>EXPLAIN</> output, to be printed
when an execution plan is logged. This parameter is off by default.
Only superusers can change this setting.
</para>
<note>
<para>
When this parameter is on, per-plan-node timing occurs for all
statements executed, whether or not they run long enough to actually
get logged. This can have extremely negative impact on performance.
</para>
</note>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term>
<varname>explain.log_verbose</varname> (<type>boolean</type>)
</term>
<indexterm>
<primary><varname>explain.log_verbose</> configuration parameter</primary>
</indexterm>
<listitem>
<para>
<varname>explain.log_verbose</varname> causes <command>EXPLAIN VERBOSE</>
output, rather than just <command>EXPLAIN</> output, to be printed
when an execution plan is logged. This parameter is off by default.
Only superusers can change this setting.
</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term>
<varname>explain.log_nested_statements</varname> (<type>boolean</type>)
</term>
<indexterm>
<primary><varname>explain.log_nested_statements</> configuration parameter</primary>
</indexterm>
<listitem>
<para>
<varname>explain.log_nested_statements</varname> causes nested
statements (statements executed inside a function) to be considered
for logging. When it is off, only top-level query plans are logged. This
parameter is off by default. Only superusers can change this setting.
</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
</variablelist>
<para>
In order to set these parameters in your <filename>postgresql.conf</> file,
you will need to add <literal>explain</> in
<varname>custom_variable_classes</>. Typical usage might be:
</para>
<programlisting>
# postgresql.conf
shared_preload_libraries = 'auto_explain'
custom_variable_classes = 'explain'
explain.log_min_duration = '3s'
</programlisting>
</sect2>
<sect2>
<title>Example</title>
<programlisting>
postgres=# LOAD 'auto_explain';
postgres=# SET explain.log_min_duration = 0;
postgres=# SELECT count(*)
FROM pg_class, pg_index
WHERE oid = indrelid AND indisunique;
</programlisting>
<para>
This might produce log output such as:
</para>
<programlisting>
LOG: duration: 0.986 ms plan:
Aggregate (cost=14.90..14.91 rows=1 width=0)
-&gt; Hash Join (cost=3.91..14.70 rows=81 width=0)
Hash Cond: (pg_class.oid = pg_index.indrelid)
-&gt; Seq Scan on pg_class (cost=0.00..8.27 rows=227 width=4)
-&gt; Hash (cost=2.90..2.90 rows=81 width=4)
-&gt; Seq Scan on pg_index (cost=0.00..2.90 rows=81 width=4)
Filter: indisunique
STATEMENT: SELECT count(*)
FROM pg_class, pg_index
WHERE oid = indrelid AND indisunique;
