Monitoring Connections

Is there a way to get diagnostics on current connections to the database?  Specifically I am looking for:

1. How many current connections are there?
2. Who is connected (user name, database and from what IP address)?
3. When was the last time the connection was used?
4. When was the connection established?

I can get most of this information from the ps command but am having problem with getting the information on #3.

My problem is that I have a number of web sites running on the server all using different databases and/or user log ins and also using connection pooling.  Whenever I redeploy an application, the "old" connections do not appear to disconnect but new connections are established.  I fear that, since the application server is not actually restarting but just reloading the application, it is keeping old connections open when they really should be closed.  This is something I will need to fix in the application but I need to do some digging before I know this is indeed the problem.

I am using PostgreSQL 8.1.3 on CentOS.

Thanks!

Query the pg_stat_activity.
For more detailed stats activities, you may query the pg_stat_* and pg_statio_*  system views.

I checked the pg_stat_activity table and it doesn't give any more information than I got from the ps command.

Is there any way to find out the last time the connection was used?

Thanks,
Aaron

The backend_start column in pg_stat_activity system view gives you the start time of the backend connection which's what you see in the ps command; however, the query_start column should give you the start time of last query within the connection.  The values of these columns may not be necessarily the same if you're using connection pooling. If you don't see the data for these columns, make sure to enable the stats collection on your pg postgresql.conf file (stats_*  parameters).

I wrote some slony task based documentation for Pervasive a few months
back. Now that they've decided to opt out of the postgres community I
understand they will be turning over the documentation to the community.
Hopefully we'll be able to make some use of this stuff.  Unfortunately, I'm
not sure who we could contact to get hold of this stuff.
