Siddharth Ravi 5abad5d56c feat(tools/postgres): add long_running_transactions, list_locks and replication_stats tools (#1751)
Adds the following tools for Postgre
(1) long_running_transactions - reports transactions that exceed a
configured duration threshold.
(2) list_locks - lists active locks in the database, including the
associated process, lock type, relation, mode, and the query holding or
waiting on the lock.
(3) replication_stats - reports replication-related metrics for WAL
streaming replicas, including lag sizes presented in human-readable
form.

## About
The `postgres-replication-stats` tool queries pg_stat_replication to surface the status of connected replicas. It reports application_name, client address, connection and sync state, and human-readable lag sizes (sent, write, flush, replay, and total) computed using WAL LSN differences.
Compatible sources:
- [alloydb-postgres](../../sources/alloydb-pg.md)
- [cloud-sql-postgres](../../sources/cloud-sql-pg.md)
- [postgres](../../sources/postgres.md)
This tool takes no parameters. It returns a JSON array; each element represents a replication connection on the primary and includes lag metrics formatted by pg_size_pretty.
## Example
```yaml
tools:
replication_stats:
kind: postgres-replication-stats
source: postgres-source
description: "Lists replication connections and readable WAL lag metrics."
```
Example response element:
```json
{
"pid": 12345,
"usename": "replication_user",
"application_name": "replica-1",
"backend_xmin": "0/0",
"client_addr": "10.0.0.7",
"state": "streaming",
"sync_state": "sync",
"sent_lag": "1234 kB",
"write_lag": "12 kB",
"flush_lag": "0 bytes",
"replay_lag": "0 bytes",
"total_lag": "1234 kB"
}
```
## Reference
| field | type | required | description |
|------------------:|:-------:|:--------:|:------------|
| pid | integer | true | Process ID of the replication backend on the primary. |
| usename | string | true | Name of the user performing the replication connection. |
| application_name | string | true | Name of the application (replica) connecting to the primary. |
| backend_xmin | string | false | Standby's xmin horizon reported by hot_standby_feedback (may be null). |
| client_addr | string | false | Client IP address of the replica (may be null). |
| state | string | true | Connection state (e.g., streaming). |
| sync_state | string | true | Sync state (e.g., async, sync, potential). |
| sent_lag | string | true | Human-readable size difference between current WAL LSN and sent_lsn. |
| write_lag | string | true | Human-readable write lag between sent_lsn and write_lsn. |
| flush_lag | string | true | Human-readable flush lag between write_lsn and flush_lsn. |
