On 6th of November 2019, Tomas Vondra committed patch:
Allow sampling of statements depending on duration This allows logging a sample of statements, without incurring excessive log traffic (which may impact performance). This can be useful when analyzing workloads with lots of short queries. The sampling is configured using two new GUC parameters: * log_min_duration_sample - minimum required statement duration * log_statement_sample_rate - sample rate (0.0 - 1.0) Only statements with duration exceeding log_min_duration_sample are considered for sampling. To enable sampling, both those GUCs have to be set correctly. The existing log_min_duration_statement GUC has a higher priority, i.e. statements with duration exceeding log_min_duration_statement will be always logged, irrespectedly of how the sampling is configured. This means only configurations log_min_duration_sample < log_min_duration_statement do actually sample the statements, instead of logging everything.
