Monitoring

We provide a view pg_vector_index_stat to monitor the progress of indexing.

Column	Type	Description
tablerelid	oid	The oid of the table.
indexrelid	oid	The oid of the index.
tablename	name	The name of the table.
indexname	name	The name of the index.
idx_status	text	Its value is `NORMAL` or `UPGRADE`. Whether this index is normal or needs upgrade.
idx_indexing	bool	Not null if `idx_status` is `NORMAL`. Whether the background thread is indexing.
idx_tuples	int8	Not null if `idx_status` is `NORMAL`. The number of tuples.
idx_sealed	int8[]	Not null if `idx_status` is `NORMAL`. The number of tuples in each sealed segment.
idx_growing	int8[]	Not null if `idx_status` is `NORMAL`. The number of tuples in each growing segment.
idx_write	int8	Not null if `idx_status` is `NORMAL`. The number of tuples in write buffer.
idx_size	int8	Not null if `idx_status` is `NORMAL`. The byte size for all the segments.
idx_options	text	Not null if `idx_status` is `NORMAL`. The configuration of the index.

idx_options Details

The idx_options is a JSON string that includes vector, segment, optimization, and indexing options. Examples below:

json

{
    "vector": {
        "dimensions": 256,
        "distance": "L2",
        "kind": "F32"
    },
    "segment": {
        "max_growing_segment_size": 20000,
        "max_sealed_segment_size": 1000000
    },
    "optimizing": {
        "sealing_secs": 60,
        "sealing_size": 1,
        "delete_threshold": 0.2,
        "optimizing_threads": 2
    },
    "indexing": {
        "hnsw": {
            "m": 12,
            "ef_construction": 300,
            "quantization": {
                "trivial": {}
            }
        }
    }
}

If there are no more insertions and you wait for all indexing to be finished, you can check the field idx_indexing every 60 seconds util it's true.
