pg_top
======

pg_top is 'top' for PostgreSQL. It is derived from Unix Top. Similar to top,
pg_top allows you to monitor PostgreSQL processes. It also allows you to:

* View currently running SQL statement of a process.
* View query plan of a currently running SELECT statement.
* View locks held by a process.
* View I/O statistics per process.
* View replication statistics for downstream nodes.

To compile and install "pg_top", read the file "INSTALL.rst" and follow the
directions and advice contained therein.

If you make any kind of change to "pg_top" that you feel would be
beneficial to others who use this program, or if you find and fix a bug,
please submit the change to the pg_top issue tracker:

In order to monitor a remote database, the pg_proctab extension needs to be
created on the database to be monitored.  Any operating system that pg_proctab
supports can be monitored remotely on any operating system.  See details for
pg_proctab here:
