[PROPOSAL] Inputs on forcing VACUUM VERBOSE to write timestamp

Hi All,

Greetings for the day.

Would like to know your inputs/suggestions on below proposal. Kindly let me
know, if it's already taken care.

*Proposal*

Forcing VACUUM VERBOSE to write timestamp, for each "INFO" entry. This was
raised already in this
</messages/by-id/20031110162349.65542.qmail@web21408.mail.yahoo.com&gt;
thread, and wanted to discuss it again. I didn't see any replies on this
old thread.

*Justification*

As we are recording the timestamp too, it gives an idea about how much time
it took for each VACUUM activity.

Regards,
Dinesh

Unconvinced - sounds like you're just re-inventing log_line_prefix.

Thanks for your inputs.

I thought, it will be helpful without modifying the log_min_messages
parameter. Otherwise, we have to run the vacuum verbose, by modifying the
log_min_messages at session level, which will be recorded in pg_log.

If we allow VERBOSE to log timestamp, we can have it in stdout, which can
be diverted to a required log file. This will be useful for the vacuumdb
binary too.

Let me know your thoughts.

Many times I've wanted a client_log_line_prefix. If someone wants to
invent that, I'd second it.

Cheers,

It would be pretty awkward to have to turn that on and off to run a
manual vacuum, unless there was a LOGTIME option added to vacuum as well.
