pg_stat_reset_slru ( [ target text DEFAULT NULL ] ) void

Resets statistics to zero for a single SLRU cache, or for all SLRUs in the cluster.

The argument can be one of commit_timestamp, multixact_member, multixact_offset, notify, serializable, subtransaction, or transaction to reset the counters for only that entry. If the argument is other (or indeed, any unrecognized name), then the counters for all other SLRU caches, such as extension-defined caches, are reset.

heap_blks_scanned bigint

Number of heap blocks scanned. Because the visibility map is used to optimize scans, some blocks will be skipped without inspection; skipped blocks are included in this total, so that this number will eventually become equal to heap_blks_total when the vacuum is complete. This counter only advances when the phase is scanning heap.

backup_total bigint

Total amount of data that will be streamed. This is estimated and reported as of the beginning of streaming database files phase. Note that this is only an approximation since the database may change during streaming database files phase and WAL log may be included in the backup later.

If the estimation is disabled in pg_basebackup (i.e., --no-estimate-size option is specified), this is NULL.
