Hi all, While navigating through the logs in the CI, the buildfarm, or even my own machine, I've found myself spending a lot of time looking at very specific log entries to find out the PID of a specific process, sometimes mistaking a normal backend vs a logical WAL sender while looking for a PID, or just looking for an auxiliary process. I'd like to suggest the following change in Cluster.pm: - print $conf "log_line_prefix = '%m [%p] %q%a '\n"; + print $conf "log_line_prefix = '%m [%b,%p] %q%a '\n"; It is then possible to match a backend_type with a PID. That increases the quantity of the logs, of course, but I'm finding that really helpful to have. But perhaps it's only me? Thanks, -- Michael
