53.28. pg_shmem_allocations_numa#
Thepg_shmem_allocations_numa shows how shared memory allocations in the server's main shared memory segment are distributed across NUMA nodes. This includes both memory allocated byPostgres Pro itself and memory allocated by extensions using the mechanisms detailed inSection 36.10.11. This view will output multiple rows for each of the shared memory segments provided that they are spread across multiple NUMA nodes. This view should not be queried by monitoring systems as it is very slow and may end up allocating shared memory in case it was not used earlier. Current limitation for this view is that won't show anonymous shared memory allocations.
Note that this view does not include memory allocated using the dynamic shared memory infrastructure.
Warning
When determining theNUMA node, the view touches all memory pages for the shared memory segment. This will force allocation of the shared memory, if it wasn't allocated already, and the memory may get allocated in a singleNUMA node (depending on system configuration).
