Installation instructions & Tutorial
Installation
You can either untar the pgFouine tarball or install the RPM package.
* If you use the tarball, pgFouine is installed locally and can be
run with ./pgfouine.php in the directory where you installed it.
* If you install the RPM package, pgFouine is installed globally
and you can run pgFouine with pgfouine.php.
How to enable query logging
PostgreSQL 7.x
Edit your postgresql.conf file (usually located in
/var/lib/pgsql/data/) and set the following configuration directives:
* To log queries slower than n milliseconds:
syslog = 2
log_min_duration_statement = n
log_duration = false
log_statement = false
To log every query executed, set log_min_duration_statement to 0.
Set it to -1 to disable query logging.
* To log queries slower than n milliseconds AND duration for ALL
queries (it only works with PostgreSQL 7.x; pgFouine counts every
duration only once):
syslog = 2
log_min_duration_statement = n
log_duration = true
log_statement = false
Then edit your /etc/syslog.conf to set up a PostgreSQL facility:
local0.* -/var/log/pgsql
You should also ignore PostgreSQL facility for the default log file otherwise you will log the queries twice:
*.info;mail.none;authpriv.none;cron.none;local0.none /var/log/messages
Restart syslogd and PostgreSQL.
Apart from the extra I/O, the overhead of logging is barely noticeable.
You can set syslog to send the log to another server through the
network with @ip.ad.dr.ess.
PostgreSQL 8.x
Syslog configuration
Edit your postgresql.conf file (usually located in
/var/lib/pgsql/data/) and set the following configuration directives:
* To enable syslog logging:
log_destination = 'syslog'
redirect_stderr = off
silent_mode = on
* To log queries slower than n milliseconds:
log_min_duration_statement = n
log_duration = off
log_statement = 'none'
To log every query executed, set log_min_duration_statement to 0. Set it to -1 to disable query logging.
Then edit your /etc/syslog.conf to set up a PostgreSQL facility:
local0.* -/var/log/pgsql
You should also ignore PostgreSQL facility for the default log file
otherwise you will log the queries twice:
*.info;mail.none;authpriv.none;cron.none;local0.none /var/log/messages
Restart syslogd and PostgreSQL.

Filter on database and/or user
You can filter your log file on database and user using the -database
and -user options. To do so, you need to configure the following
log_line_prefix:
log_line_prefix = 'user=%u,db=%d'
Using stderr log file
Using the following configuration, you can log to stderr instead of
syslog. This is not recommended as we cannot guarantee the consistency
of statements if they are multilines.
log_destination = 'stderr'
redirect_stderr = on
log_line_prefix = '%t [%p]: [%l-1] '
Usage
pgFouine is an easy to use command line tool. The following command
generates an HTML report with all default options:
$ pgfouine.php -file your/log/file.log > your-report.html
The following command line displays a text report with only 10 queries
in each list to the standard output:
$ pgfouine.php -file your/log/file.log -top 10 -format text
By using pgfouine.php -help, you can display the usage information.
