+ <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>)

+ <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>

+ <listitem>
+ <para>
+ <varname>explain.log_nested_statements</varname> causes nested

+ 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'

+
+ <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)
