Postgres/Extensions

The neon extension

With each Neon project, Neon creates a "neon" extension, which includes functions and views designed to gather Neon-specific metrics. The metrics are intended for use by the Neon team for the purpose of enhancing our service. The views are owned by a Neon system role (cloud_admin), but you are able to view them by connecting to the postgres database using psql and executing the command \dv neon.*, as shown below. At present, the extension includes two views for local file cache metrics. We may incorporate additional views in future releases.
