You can view information about reindexing (REINDEX) or index creation (CREATE INDEX) processes. The information is based on the pg_stat_progress_create_index view.

46.6.1. Viewing Reindexing or Index Creation Processes #

Go to reindexing or index creation processes in one of the following ways:

  • Using the monitoring section:

    1. In the navigation panel, go to Monitoring → Activity.

    2. Select Reindex, and then in the top-right corner of the page, select the instance and database.

  • Using the configuration section of an instance:

    1. In the navigation panel, go to Infrastructure → Instances.

    2. Click the name of the instance.

    3. In the navigation panel, go to Activity.

    4. Select Reindex, and then in the top-right corner of the page, select the database.

The table of reindexing or index creation processes with the following columns will be displayed:

  • PID: The ID of the backend.

  • State: The state of the backend.

    For more information about possible values, refer to the official Postgres Pro documentation on the pg_stat_activity module (refer to the state column).

  • Wait event: The name and type of the wait event for the backend.

    For more information, refer to the official Postgres Pro documentation on the pg_stat_activity module (refer to wait_event_type and wait_event columns).

  • Phase: The reindexing or index creation phase.

    For more information about possible values, refer to the official Postgres Pro documentation.

  • Database: The name of the database where reindexing or index creation is being performed.

  • User: The name of the DBMS user on behalf of which reindexation or index creation is being performed.

  • Table: The name or ID of the table for which reindexing or index creation is being performed.

  • Index: The name or ID of the index being reindexed or created.

  • Query: The text of the current or last backend query.

  • Query duration: The duration of the current or last backend query.

  • Done, %: The percentage of table data processed in the current phase of reindexing or index creation.

    This column includes additional information:

    • Total size: The total size of the table data to be processed.

    • Done size: The size of the processed table data.

  • Tuples done, %: The percentage of table rows processed in the current phase of reindexing or index creation.

    This column includes additional information:

    • Total size: The total number of table rows to be processed.

    • Done size: The number of processed table rows.

  • Lockers: The processes locked when performing reindexing or index creation.

    This column includes additional information:

    • Done: The number of locked processes for which the waiting is finished.

    • Total: The total number of locked processes.

    • PID: The ID of the currently locked process.

  • Partitions done, %: The percentage of partitioned tables processed when performing reindexing or index creation.

    This column includes additional information:

    • Total: The total number of partitioned tables to be processed.

    • Done: The number of processed partitioned tables.

  • Actions.

    For more information about available actions, refer to the corresponding instructions.

Canceling a reindexing or index creation process does not terminate a user session.

To cancel a reindexing or index creation process:

  1. Go to reindexing or index creation processes in one of the following ways:

    • Using the monitoring section:

      1. In the navigation panel, go to Monitoring → Activity.

      2. Select Reindex, and then in the top-right corner of the page, select the instance and database.

      3. In the navigation panel, go to Activity.

      4. Select Reindex, and then in the top-right corner of the page, select the database.

  2. Click Cancel current request next to the reindexing or index creation process.

  3. Click Execute.

46.6.3. Terminating the User Session for a Reindexing or Index Creation Process #

When the user session is terminated, the reindexing or index creation process is canceled automatically.

To terminate the user session for a reindexing or index creation process:

  1. Go to reindexing or index creation processes in one of the following ways:

    • Using the monitoring section:

      1. In the navigation panel, go to Monitoring → Activity.

      2. Select Reindex, and then in the top-right corner of the page, select the instance and database.

    • Using the configuration section of an instance:

      1. In the navigation panel, go to Infrastructure → Instances.
