Add GUC for setting background worker log level #6188

mkindahl · 2023-10-12T06:51:55Z

To avoid having to spam the log with unecessary background worker progress messages a GUC for controlling the background worker log level is introduced. This can be set using ALTER SYSTEM plus a call of pg_reload_conf() and will set the log_min_messages for the background workers only (scheduler and all job runners).

It also adds some job progress messages at debug level.

Fixes #6161

This do not show the debug output, but when looking in the log after running the test it shows up.

From emit_log_hook_callback in test/src/bgw/log.c:

/* We are only interested in elevel LOG and above. */ if (edata->elevel < LOG) return;

Removed check to make debug output show up in the log (if the log_min_message variable is set appropriately).

One question, why not set the new bgw_log_level on the test scripts in order to don't change the output too much and then in the new tests make sure it is working ??

Note that we also want to check that we can disable the log level and make sure that the default is sound. It was more straightforward to extend the existing test since there is a lot of setup to debug the scheduler, but I'll look into it.

I ended up with adding a separate test for the bgw_log_level and fixing the output of the other scripts so that they have the default.

Looks good to me. It might be good to include this in our documentation (e.g., https://docs.timescale.com/use-timescale/latest/user-defined-actions/troubleshooting/).

In timescale#6188 we introduced a new GUC `timescaledb.bgw_log_level` to control background workers log level, but if we missed to set the default value into the global variable leading to an assertion when checking for default values when defining it in the `_guc_init` process. Fix it by properly initialize the global variable to the `log_min_messages`.

This release contains performance improvements, an improved hypertable DDL API and bug fixes since the 2.12.2 release. We recommend that you upgrade at the next available opportunity. In addition, it includes these noteworthy features: * Full PostgreSQL 16 support for all existing features * Vectorized aggregation execution for sum() * Track chunk creation time used in retention/compression policies **Deprecation notice: Multi-node support** TimescaleDB 2.13 is the last version that will include multi-node support. Multi-node support in 2.13 is available for PostgreSQL 13, 14 and 15. Learn more about it [here](docs/MultiNodeDeprecation.md).
