PostgreSQL LISTEN/NOTIFY

Subscribe to PostgreSQL notification channels in real time

PostgreSQL LISTEN/NOTIFY

Monitor PostgreSQL pub/sub channels directly in data-peek with a live event stream.

Opening the Panel

Open the Notifications panel from the sidebar. It opens as a dedicated tab.

Subscribing to Channels

  1. Type a channel name in the input field
  2. Click Subscribe or press Enter
  3. You can subscribe to multiple channels simultaneously

Viewing Events

Events appear in real time as they arrive:

  • Timestamp with millisecond precision
  • Channel name
  • Payload content
  • JSON payloads are automatically pretty-printed

Sending Notifications

Send a NOTIFY message from within the panel:

  1. Enter the channel name
  2. Enter the payload (optional)
  3. Click Send

This is useful for testing notification consumers.

Actions

  • Copy - Copy a notification payload to clipboard
  • Clear All - Remove all received events from the display

This feature is PostgreSQL-only, as LISTEN/NOTIFY is a PostgreSQL-specific feature.
