PCP_PROC_INFO(1) pgpool-II 4.3.5 Documentation PCP_PROC_INFO(1)

pcp_proc_info - displays the information on the given Pgpool-II child process ID

pcp_proc_info [options...] [pgpool_child_processid]

pcp_proc_info displays the information on the given Pgpool-II child process ID.

-a
--all

Display all child processes and their available connection slots.

-P PID
--process-id=PID

PID of Pgpool-II child process.

Other options

If -a nor -P is not specified, process information of all connected Pgpool-II child process will be printed. In this case if there's no connected Pgpool-II child process, nothing but "No process information available" message will be printed.

Here is an example output:

$ pcp_proc_info -p 1100
test postgres 2021-09-28 04:16:00 (4:56 before process restarting) 1 3 0 2021-09-28 04:16:16 2021-09-28 04:16:16 0 2021-09-28 04:16:33 1 30795 0 30750 0 Wait for connection

The result is in the following order:


1. connected database name
2. connected user name
3. process start-up timestamp (If child_life_time is set not 0, the time before process restarting is displayed.)
4. process-reuse counter for child_max_connections
5. protocol major version
6. protocol minor version
7. connection created timestamp
8. last client connected timestamp
9. client idle duration (sec) (If client_idle_limit is set not 0, the time before client disconnected is displayed.)
10. last client disconnected timestamp
11. connection-reuse counter
12. PostgreSQL backend process id
13. 1 if frontend connected 0 if not
14. pgpool child process id
15. PostgreSQL backend id
16. process status

If -a or --all option is not specified and there is no connection to the backends, nothing will be displayed. If there are multiple connections, one connection's information will be displayed on each line multiple times. Timestamps are displayed in EPOCH format.

The --verbose option can help understand the output. For example:
