I needed a utility to alert our team when any long running queries were running on a production postgres cluster. I came up with the following python code that achieves just that. This would alert slack if an active query exceeds 45 mins. The script takes in user parameters as well, I will demonstrate the way to call it. Hope it helps someone.

You can look into using .pgpass, or you would need to add a new parameter on the cli and update the function.
