If I see a sudden connection spike (say once in 2 months). What are the
steps I need to follow as a dba?

Check idle and kill? Check of stat activity for active queries? How do I
ensure how much time is long running query? Blocking queries? How much of
blocking time is considered to be dangerous? Locks - should we conclude
anything from wait event and wait event type ?

All these won't help nd have to look into pgbadger?

This is an inappropriate question for the -hackers mailing list. Both
-admin and -general are better places to get help on learning how to be a
DBA.

This list is basically for discussing potential patches to the codebase.
