Usage
SELECT blks_zeroed FROM pg_catalog.pg_stat_slru;View semantics
PostgreSQL accesses certain on-disk information via SLRU (simple least-recently-used) caches. The pg_stat_slru view will contain one row for each tracked SLRU cache, showing statistics about access to cached pages. For each SLRU cache that's part of the core server, there is a configuration parameter that controls its size, with the suffix _buffers appended.
Collection and reset context
