Hi, I would like to propose adding new fields to pg_stat_all_tables to track tables skipped during autovacuum and autoanalyze. Currently, when autovacuum or autoanalyze is skipped because a lock cannot be acquired, this information is only emitted in log messages. However, it would be more useful if users could access this information via a system view, alongside related fields such as last_autovacuum, on a per-table basis. The attached patch add the following fields to pg_stat_all_tables: - last_skipped_autovacuum - last_skipped_autoanalyze - skipped_autovacuum_count - skipped_autoanalyze_count Are there any concerns about exposing this in pg_stat_all_tables, or suggestions for a better approach?
