Verify the installation

 pgbadger -V
[root@localhost pgbadger-12.4]# pgbadger -V
pgBadger version 12.4

If version not show then export the pgbader path follow the step

1. open .bashrc file:- vi ~/.bashrc
2. Add the line to the end of the file and save:- export PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH
3. Apply the changes to your current shell session:- source ~/.bashrc

Step 3:- Postgres configuration

Make changes in parameter of postgres configuration file

log_min_duration_statement = 0
log_filename = 'postgresql-%Y-%m-%d_%H%M%S.log'
log_line_prefix = '%t [%p]: user=%u,db=%d,app=%a,client=%h '
log_rotation_age = 1d 
log_rotation_size = 10MB
log_statement = 'all' 
log_checkpoints = on
log_connections = on
log_disconnections = on
log_lock_waits = on
log_temp_files = 0
log_autovacuum_min_duration = 0
log_error_verbosity = default
lc_messages='en_US.UTF-8'
lc_messages='C'

Restart the Postgres service

-bash-4.2$ /usr/pgsql-15/bin/pg_ctl -D /pgdata/15/data restart
waiting for server to shut down.... done
server stopped
waiting for server to start....2024-04-09 22:30:26 IST [14521]: user=,db=,app=,client= LOG:  redirecting log output to logging collector process
2024-04-09 22:30:26 IST [14521]: user=,db=,app=,client= HINT:  Future log output will appear in directory "log".
 done
server started

Step 4:- Generate Report

Run the following command

Syntax:- pgbadger -f stderr [logfile path] -O [report path] -o [report file name]
pgbadger -f stderr /pgdata/15/data/log/postgresql-* -O /var/www/pgbadger -o pgbadger2.html
[root@localhost pgbadger-12.4]# pgbadger -f stderr /pgdata/15/data/log/postgresql-* -O /var/www/pgbadger -o pgbadger2.html
LOG: Ok, generating html report... 37110 bytes of 37110 (100.00%), queries: 42, events: 26

Step 5:- Setup cronjob

Below cronjob run the command every day at 9AM and generate report, the file name has date and timestamp. you can schedule time as per your requirement. take help of this crontab to schedule task

[root@localhost pgbadger]# which pgbadger
/usr/local/bin/pgbadger
[root@localhost pgbadger]# crontab -l
* 9 * * * /usr/local/bin/pgbadger -f stderr /pgdata/15/data/log/postgresql-* -O /var/www/pgbadger -o "/var/www/pgbadger/pgbadger_report_$(date +'\%Y-\%m-\%d_\%H-\%M-\%S').html" >> /var/www/pgbadger/cron_output.log 2>&1

Use help command to get complete list of options

[root@localhost pgbadger]# pgbadger --help

Usage: pgbadger [options] logfile [...]

    PostgreSQL log analyzer with fully detailed reports and graphs.

Arguments:

    logfile can be a single log file, a list of files, or a shell command
    returning a list of files. If you want to pass log content from stdin
    use - as filename. Note that input from stdin will not work with csvlog.

Options:

    -a | --average minutes : number of minutes to build the average graphs of
                             queries and connections. Default 5 minutes.
    -A | --histo-average min: number of minutes to build the histogram graphs
                             of queries. Default 60 minutes.
    -b | --begin datetime  : start date/time for the data to be parsed in log
                             (either a timestamp or a time)
    -c | --dbclient host   : only report on entries for the given client host.
    -C | --nocomment       : remove comments like /* ... */ from queries.
    -d | --dbname database : only report on entries for the given database.
    -D | --dns-resolv      : client ip addresses are replaced by their DNS name.
                             Be warned that this can really slow down pgBadger.
    -e | --end datetime    : end date/time for the data to be parsed in log
                             (either a timestamp or a time)
    -E | --explode         : explode the main report by generating one report
                             per database. Global information not related to a
                             database is added to the postgres database report.
    -f | --format logtype  : possible values: syslog, syslog2, stderr, jsonlog,
                             csv, pgbouncer, logplex, rds and redshift. Use this
                             option when pgBadger is not able to detect the log
                             format.
    -G | --nograph         : disable graphs on HTML output. Enabled by default.
    -h | --help            : show this message and exit.
    -H | --html-outdir path: path to directory where HTML report must be written

                             defined with -O, --outdir option.
    -i | --ident name      : programname used as syslog ident. Default: postgres
    -I | --incremental     : use incremental mode, reports will be generated by
                             days in a separate directory, --outdir must be set.
    -j | --jobs number     : number of jobs to run at same time for a single log
                             file. Run as single by default or when working with
                             csvlog format.
    -J | --Jobs number     : number of log files to parse in parallel. Process
                             one file at a time by default.
    -l | --last-parsed file: allow incremental log parsing by registering the
                             last datetime and line parsed. Useful if you want
                             to watch errors since last run or if you want one
                             report per day with a log rotated each week.
    -L | --logfile-list file:file containing a list of log files to parse.
    -m | --maxlength size  : maximum length of a query, it will be restricted to
                             the given size. Default truncate size is 100000.
    -M | --no-multiline    : do not collect multiline statements to avoid garbage
                             especially on errors that generate a huge report.
    -N | --appname name    : only report on entries for given application name
    -o | --outfile filename: define the filename for the output. Default depends
                             on the output format: out.html, out.txt, out.bin,
                             or out.json. This option can be used multiple times
                             to output several formats. To use json output, the
                             Perl module JSON::XS must be installed, to dump
                             output to stdout, use - as filename.
    -O | --outdir path     : directory where out files must be saved.
    -p | --prefix string   : the value of your custom log_line_prefix as
                             defined in your postgresql.conf. Only use it if you
                             aren't using one of the standard prefixes specified
                             in the pgBadger documentation, such as if your
                             prefix includes additional variables like client IP
                             or application name. MUST contain escape sequences
                             for time (%t, %m or %n) and processes (%p or %c).

    --journalctl command   : command to use to replace PostgreSQL logfile by
                             a call to journalctl. Basically it might be:
                                journalctl -u postgresql-9.5
    --pid-dir path         : set the path where the pid file must be stored.

    --pid-file file        : set the name of the pid file to manage concurrent
                             execution of pgBadger. Default: pgbadger.pid
    --rebuild              : used to rebuild all html reports in incremental
                             output directories where there's binary data files.
    --pgbouncer-only       : only show PgBouncer-related menus in the header.
    --start-monday         : in incremental mode, calendar weeks start on

                             makes log search with a date/time more difficult.
                             The value can be an integer, ex.: 2, or a float,
                             ex.: 2.5.

pgBadger is able to parse a remote log file using a passwordless ssh connection.
Use -r or --remote-host to set the host IP address or hostname. There are also
some additional options to fully control the ssh connection.

    --ssh-program ssh        path to the ssh program to use. Default: ssh.
    --ssh-port port          ssh port to use for the connection. Default: 22.
    --ssh-user username      connection login name. Defaults to running user.
    --ssh-identity file      path to the identity file to use.
    --ssh-timeout second     timeout to ssh connection failure. Default: 10 sec.
    --ssh-option  options    list of -o options to use for the ssh connection.
                             Options always used:
                                 -o ConnectTimeout=$ssh_timeout
                                 -o PreferredAuthentications=hostbased,publickey

Log file to parse can also be specified using an URI, supported protocols are
http[s] and [s]ftp. The curl command will be used to download the file, and the
file will be parsed during download. The ssh protocol is also supported and will
use the ssh command like with the remote host use. See examples bellow.

Return codes:

    0: on success
    1: die on error
    2: if it has been interrupted using ctr+c for example
    3: the pid file already exists or can not be created
    4: no log file was given at command line

Examples:

    pgbadger /var/log/postgresql.log
    pgbadger /var/log/postgres.log.2.gz /var/log/postgres.log.1.gz /var/log/postgres.log
    pgbadger /var/log/postgresql/postgresql-2012-05-*
    pgbadger --exclude-query="^(COPY|COMMIT)" /var/log/postgresql.log
    pgbadger -b "2012-06-25 10:56:11" -e "2012-06-25 10:59:11" /var/log/postgresql.log
    cat /var/log/postgres.log | pgbadger -
    # Log line prefix with stderr log output
    pgbadger --prefix '%t [%p]: user=%u,db=%d,client=%h' /pglog/postgresql-2012-08-21*
    pgbadger --prefix '%m %u@%d %p %r %a : ' /pglog/postgresql.log
    # Log line prefix with syslog log output
    pgbadger --prefix 'user=%u,db=%d,client=%h,appname=%a' /pglog/postgresql-2012-08-21*
    # Use my 8 CPUs to parse my 10GB file faster, much faster
    pgbadger -j 8 /pglog/postgresql-10.1-main.log

Use URI notation for remote log file:

    pgbadger http://172.12.110.1//var/log/postgresql/postgresql-10.1-main.log
    pgbadger ftp://username@172.12.110.14/postgresql-10.1-main.log
    pgbadger ssh://username@172.12.110.14:2222//var/log/postgresql/postgresql-10.1-main.log*

You can use together a local PostgreSQL log and a remote pgbouncer log file to parse:

    pgbadger /var/log/postgresql/postgresql-10.1-main.log ssh://username@172.12.110.14/pgbouncer.log

Reporting errors every week by cron job:

    30 23 * * 1 /usr/bin/pgbadger -q -w /var/log/postgresql.log -o /var/reports/pg_errors.html

Generate report every week using incremental behavior:

    0 4 * * 1 /usr/bin/pgbadger -q `find /var/log/ -mtime -7 -name "postgresql.log*"` -o /var/reports/pg_errors-`date +\%F`.html -l /var/reports/pgbadger_incremental_file.dat

This supposes that your log file and HTML report are also rotated every week.

Or better, use the auto-generated incremental reports:

    0 4 * * * /usr/bin/pgbadger -I -q /var/log/postgresql/postgresql.log.1 -O /var/www/pg_reports/

will generate a report per day and per week.

In incremental mode, you can also specify the number of weeks to keep in the
reports:

    /usr/bin/pgbadger --retention 2 -I -q /var/log/postgresql/postgresql.log.1 -O /var/www/pg_reports/

If you have a pg_dump at 23:00 and 13:00 each day during half an hour, you can
use pgBadger as follow to exclude these periods from the report:

    pgbadger --exclude-time "2013-09-.* (23|13):.*" postgresql.log

This will help avoid having COPY statements, as generated by pg_dump, on top of
the list of slowest queries. You can also use --exclude-appname "pg_dump" to
solve this problem in a simpler way.

You can also parse journalctl output just as if it was a log file:

    pgbadger --journalctl 'journalctl -u postgresql-9.5'

or worst, call it from a remote host:

    pgbadger -r 192.168.1.159 --journalctl 'journalctl -u postgresql-9.5'

you don't need to specify any log file at command line, but if you have other
PostgreSQL log files to parse, you can add them as usual.

To rebuild all incremental html reports after, proceed as follow:

    rm /path/to/reports/*.js
    rm /path/to/reports/*.css
    pgbadger -X -I -O /path/to/reports/ --rebuild

it will also update all resource files (JS and CSS). Use -E or --explode
if the reports were built using this option.

pgBadger also supports Heroku PostgreSQL logs using logplex format:

    heroku logs -p postgres | pgbadger -f logplex -o heroku.html -

this will stream Heroku PostgreSQL log to pgbadger through stdin.

pgBadger can auto detect RDS and cloudwatch PostgreSQL logs using
rds format:

    pgbadger -f rds -o rds_out.html rds.log

Each CloudSQL Postgresql log is a fairly normal PostgreSQL log, but encapsulated
in JSON format. It is autodetected by pgBadger but in case you need to force
the log format use `jsonlog`:

    pgbadger -f jsonlog -o cloudsql_out.html cloudsql.log

This is the same as with the jsonlog extension, the json format is different
but pgBadger can parse both formats.

pgBadger also supports logs produced by CloudNativePG Postgres operator for Kubernetes:

    pgbadger -f jsonlog -o cnpg_out.html cnpg.log

To create a cumulative report over a month use command:

    pgbadger --month-report 2919-05 /path/to/incremental/reports/

this will add a link to the month name into the calendar view in
incremental reports to look at report for month 2019 May.
Use -E or --explode if the reports were built using this option.

Link of the Report generated :- pgbadger report

With PgBadger installed, you can now efficiently analyze PostgreSQL logs, gain insights into performance, and optimize your database for better efficiency.
