   Activity/WalSummarizerWal

   Waiting in WAL summarizer for more WAL to be generated.

   Waiting in WAL summarizer for more WAL to be generated.

触发机制

WAIT_EVENT_WAL_SUMMARIZER_WAL 位于 src/backend/postmaster/walsummarizer.c:1798，是经 grep 核验的报告路径。公共身份/资源映射位于 src/backend/utils/activity/wait_event_names.txt:70。探针覆盖的操作是：在 WAL summarizer 中等待生成更多 WAL。WalSummarizerWal 后台路径在主循环暂时无事可做、进入 latch wait 前报告此事件；信号、计时器或新工作会唤醒进程并进入下一轮循环。

WAIT_EVENT_WAL_SUMMARIZER_WAL at src/backend/postmaster/walsummarizer.c:1798 is the grep-verified reporting path. The public identity/resource is mapped at src/backend/utils/activity/wait_event_names.txt:70. The instrumented operation is: Waiting in WAL summarizer for more WAL to be generated. The WalSummarizerWal background path reports this event around its latch wait when its main loop has no immediate work. A signal, timeout, or new work clears the sleep and the process loops again.

诊断 SQL

直接在 psql 里跑；标注的是语句里用到的视图与列所要求的最低版本。

处置步骤

1. 先与 backend_type 对照。
2. 检查该进程专属的积压与最后进展时间。
3. 修复缺失的工作信号或停滞的上游阶段，不要终止正常空闲的 worker。
